Please Pray for Jeff - UPDATED

UPDATED

Jeff had emergency surgery on his right femur. Put a pin in , tomorrow he has surgery at noon to put a rod in right femur. He is resting and doing well as I just spoke to my sister a hr ago.

I could hear Jeff chuckle a bit which made me feel good. He sounded like the brother in law I know. Also his birthday is next Sunday Aug 15 on which he just so happens to turn 50 yrs old.Jeff likes to joke and have fun so I can see him using the accident to take away the fact that he is turning 50.

They are also waiting for tests to come back tomorrow but we are staying positive that everything else will check out fine. I want to thank you all so much for the prayers. It means so much to me and my sister was so happy. There pastor and a couple elders from there church have been there which is so nice. Thanx again and praying things all go well TOMORROW !!! Praying for Colleen & boys and our families.

God is Good !!




Please Pray for my brother in law , Jeff. He was in a tractor rollover accident around noon back east in Ohio. He was pinned under there for about a hr. Thank God his son Blake was there on the farm he was working and heard his Dad calling for Help. I know he has been lifeflighted to Akron General Hospital for surgery.
Will keep you posted as soon as I find out any news.

Praying that my sister Colleen and Blake and Anthony stay strong. God is Good and always there through whatever storm comes.

Thanx to all of you , this is also hard for me hearing the news so far away.

Praise God

Today I have so much to be thankful for.........

God is so good ........ always even in the darkest hour.

Yesterday was a tough day for me. My Mom was having her ECHO done on her heart. I was nervous but I know that God would see us through whatever the outcome was.

As for the outcome ..........

It showed nothing , My Mom's heart is fine. They are almost sure that the skip they recorded earlier was due to the stress my Mom was having at home.

So today I'm praising God and just so very happy that My Mom is fine. No Blockage a great beating heart so strong.

Here are a couple of my favorite verses :

1Thessalonians 5:18
"In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you."

John 14:13-14
"And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it."

Thanx to all of you that kept my Mom in your prayers. You are all so awesome.

A Beautiful Poem and Some Thoughts

I wanted to share this poem. My sister sent it to me. It was in the newspaper back home. My heart is sad for the six children that lost there parents last Friday. I know that right now things look like the father killed there mother and then took his own life. The sad part is these children were home at the time it happened. I'm so thankful that whatever happened the children were spared any danger. I pray everyday that these children will get to remain together. I know that they are doing everything possible to see that happens.

I pray that God will give them peace throughout this terrible ordeal. I know that God loves all of us and is always there. I pray that the families and friends of this family can put there differances aside and remember the children are what is important right now. I know that the county is doing some great things for the children and the school already has been doing things together with the children since it happened.

Here is the poem.

A Time To Grieve , A Time for Joy.

A time to grieve, A time for joy
Sometimes we can carry both.
When we see someone pass
we have a time to grieve
but also a time for joy

you see, we can grieve their loss
but we can also have joy for no more pain
we can also have joy for their peace
But we can cry for their loss
But we also have hope!

We know someday we will see them again!
Someday we will have joy in seeing them.
Right now it is dark and gray
The rain won't stop in our heart.
We can't see the light

The light house is there
His name is Jesus.
He is our light in trials
The darkest of night can't block His light
The darkest days can't block Him.

Though we may grieve,
though we may feel pain,
We can have hope
that someday we will have joy
Our hope in healing is Jesus

Seeing the lighthouse can be hard.
Seeing the hope in the dark is difficult
The closer we get to shore, the better it gets
The shore is where we will meet Him
The shore is Heaven.

Help Me Decide , Please

My brother is getting married next June. His girlfriend Sherrie and Kevin are letting me decide what dresses for the girls to wear.

Well of course I can't decide so that's where you all might be of some help ????? We wanted to keep them simple and something that they could wear after the wedding. Jennifer and Carly will be the flower girls so they will be the ones wearing the dresses. They both need to be the same. So if you could leave me a comment telling me which dress you like. They are having pastel colors for there wedding so the dress doesn't have to be white.

These are the ones they want me to pick from. The dresses are from David's Bridal

Dress # 1



Dress # 2



Dress # 3



Thanx so much , I'm just really having a tough time deciding. They all look great !!!
