The Minister's Cat: Praying

Praying

Rom 8:26 Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words. This morning the men got together to pray. We picked up Lee so he could pray too. We spent a lot of time talking about living for Christ in our world today. It seemed like we spent about 50 minutes talking and 10 minutes praying but I saw how this verse applied to our meeting as the Spirit led our talk and gave focus to our prayers much better than using our prayer time to figure out how to pray as we should. It seemed like we were all “in one accord” as we prayed for our families and friends to shine for Christ in what we saw as a dark world. Please pray that we can live for Jesus everyday this week. As far as getting back to normal at home the last few days have been concentrated on using my voice or sip and puff to control my environment.

I'm finally catching up after getting back. I heard that you took control of the bible study again and are in full charge to keep all on track. What else would we expect? Looking forward to participate the next time in town.
As always, thanks for your inspiring words. God is good.
Cheers, Elke

Calm in the storm - blessings and praises

1 ATV was on the trail minutes after Johns accident. He was able to get help ASAP while Laverne was able to stay and assist.

2 The cement blocks had been removed from the beginning of the logging road so that the ambulance could back in right away.

3 The nurses at the hospital were the right ones. One worked with John and one graduated with Laverne. They were Connie and Ellen.

4 Good friends Lee & Don, Bob & Pat were at the hospital quickly.

5 Laverne was able to fly with John on the Medivac helicopter as this is unusual.

6 In vancouver Beth Sykes a Cascades church friend was coming on shift on ICU after a week in Mexico.

7 Tom Freeman a friend was in town to Visit John the first day.

8 The many prayers and help. Those who have helped by taking DVBS, feeding cat, gathering belongings, (and bringing them down), and getting the bikes home.

9 Karen from 100 Huntley St called out friend Patricia and said she sensed that a close friend needed prayer.

10 Sister Eleanor was able to get a quick flight and be there before surgery.

11 John was able and ready to get a tracheotomy in good time instead of days or weeks later.
