Hi All

I read this thread everyday and remember you all in my prayers. I would like to ask for prayers for my son Simon, (25). He is well, but getting depressed. He has been out of work for some considerable time and has had several possibilities disappear due to the the current economic downturn. At present there are very very few job vacancies in this area. He has heard about a vacancy where a friend works and has sent in his CV. Please remember him in your prayers for me. With grateful thanks Pam

Man Joan sorry to hear about that when they find a spot it never good new I'll keep them in my prays and hopfuly they will be able to stop that bad thing from happing soon Happy

Hi all,
thanks for your prayers and good vibes! Today I found out my colonoscopy was fine, so I just have to worry about the gastritis they found in the gut from the endoscopy. More medicine but maybe this time it will help.
I did hear from a good friend in San Diego, and her husband has many medical problems, one syndrone I can't even explain, MEN or MEM, anyway, they found spots on the lungs and make a long story (which I would get wrong anyway!) short it is stage 3 cancer and atypical. (Those words I remember!) So Jim needs your prayers. They are not sure chemo will work. They have a college age young man, and a 6th grade girl, my little neice as I call her!
So please keep them in your prayers. I told her about my group of praying quilters and let her know she and Jim and the kids would be getting good prayers from you all!
Thank you so much. And the last I heard from my cousin, her brother still does not know what is going to happen with Sarah's heart surgery, so please keep her in prayer too.
You know, I think prayer keeps us more connected even than quilting! God does know how to bring us together to do His work!

HEY HAS ANYONE HEARD FROM ANNE?

Terri, I am of the mind set that they usually don't waste thier time with so many interviews unless he has the job.now they are probably just trying to figure out his worth. You and all of us know he is priceless, BUT....just to be on the safe side we will keep praying
Joan, Keep the faith my friend your dear Mom will be there before you know it.
Sandi, Remember old habits are hard to break and getting Mothers to stop doing everthing they have been doing for years ...well good luck with that one. :shock: My Mom is blind in one eye has no depth perception and still thinks she can thread a needle Oh well it's fun to watch and then help when she finally admits she can't do it. I am glad that she is getting better though.

Teri, I was thinking about this job interview all weekend. I have a good feeling about it. I know, to God's ears, right? Well maybe....

The good news - the first two interviews seemed to go well. Yes, you read that correctly there were two interviews today for the position. There will be another interview next week after the department head returns from vacation. One of the guys who interviewed him had a very lengthy conversation with someone Bob worked with at his previous position, and it was very positive. Bob is calling her tomorrow to thank her as she connected him with the head of HR, who Bob has also worked with over the years.

So we very much appreciate the continued prayerful support.

I pray for you all as well, the moms, dads, kids, medical and emotional situations we all find ourselves in.
Teri

Sandi I hope your mom is ok Happy

Thanks for the prayers and kind thoughts. I just talked to her and she is doing very well. No lasting residual from it. My Dad is gonna have to sit on her and make her behave though. For some reason this lady loves to clean! I keep telling her I really am not her daughter. I hate cleaning. Thanks again and please know I read this thread daily and all of you and your loved ones are in my prayers. Sandi in FL

Thanks Rachel and everyone for your prayers. I think this group is great and I know we help each other by our prayers and having someone to talk to and listen to us.
God bless,
Joan

Sandi, reading this a day later but still praying for a complete recovery for your mom.

Sandi,
My prayers are with you and your parents. Hopefully she will be able to resume her cumadin therapy soon.
Joan,
I am glad to hear that you have activities planned out for your mother that do not include watching 23 hours of TV So many people think that is the answer. How wrong they are. If they only understood that that is what contributes to the wasting away of the brain. It really is sad. I will continue to pray that your Mom arrives to your home soon.
Rachel

Joan
I'm sorry to hear of your fathers passing,I know his memories will be treasured. I hope your mother gets to come live with you soon, I think this would be very nice. It's Nice to hear she can still sew. I Know it will be hard for her to leave Florida. It will be alot to take care of a parent but I think with Gods good will you will all do good. God Bless you everyone.

Sandi
I'm sorry sorry to hear about your Mother having a stroke,I hope she is feeling better and the Dr. treats her well. Wanting to come home to early before all test are done isn't good,though I can understand her wanting to get out of there,you get no rest/sleep.
Will pray that your Mom gets better soon.

Sandi
Your mom and you and family will be in my prayers. I have a special prayer for healing and I always say for all my quilting buddies and think of you all.
Take care
Joan
