Prayerful Thursday

Have you ever in your life heard of so many people sick? It's just unreal the things that are going around, surgeries, aches and pains that so many people are suffering from right now!!! For a few months, I've been sending out the prayer requests for our church. I guess being so close to the situation just makes me realize how many people are suffering and in need of prayer. It also makes me realize how very blessed I am that our family is all healthy and nothing major is going on right now (hope I haven't spoken too soon!!!).

Anyway....here are the prayer requests for this week:

1. Mr. W. R. and Ms. Ruth Thompson

Mr. W.R. is in the hospital because of some heart problems. They've changed his medications and hopefully this will put him on the right track. Ms. Ruth is a diabetic and she had to undergo surgery on Wednesday due to complications from the diabetes. Please keep this couple in your thoughts and prayers and also their daughters, as they take care of them.
