It seems like everyone I know (and love) are dealing with health issues or other crisis. I may have mentioned a while back about my father-in-law having a heart attack. Thankfully, he is doing better; however, now my husband (Michael) is ill.

As many of you know, he is a truck driver. While waiting to pick up a load in Texas he started getting really sick and had bad pains in his stomach. When the pain became unbearable, he when to the emergency room to have it checked out. The next thing he knew, he was transferred and admitted to another hospital with talk of needed surgery.

As of now, he doesn’t need the surgery but they are keeping an eye on him. Without giving out too much info, he has issues in his intestines and possibly his liver. As a previous transplant recipient, this situation can potentially be serious; however, right now he is stable and doing okay.

The rough part is him being so far away in Texas. I just thank God for FaceTime because at least Andrew and I can “see” him several times a day!

Also, the mother of a friend of mine had a stroke. She is currently in an acute rehab and doing okay. It is rough on my friend because her mother is elderly and she has to take on a lot of extra responsibility.

And, yesterday morning, I found out that the grandson of a woman I am friends with through church has been in a serious motorcycle accident.

Of course, we can’t forget the victims of the earthquake in Japan. My goodness, the many prayer needs are almost overwhelming.

So, If you can, please pray for all these intentions. And and all prayers would be much appreciated. On a happier note, my dad’s birthday is tomorrow (April 19), so if you could say a prayer for him that would be nice, too. 🙂

THANK YOU!
