So several years back our sweet cousin was savagely attacked while he was working as a correctional officer. The attack was absolutely horrific. But by God’s grace and mercy our cousin survived and has thrived. Back then we didn’t know what the future would look like for him, or his beautiful wife. But God! He now has his beautiful wife, and two amazing kiddos. All that to say, that sometimes in the midst of a terribly tragic situation it is hard to see that there could be sunshine after the rain, that there will be beauty to follow all the hardship. After the attack on our cousin, I have become more keenly aware of the dangers that CO’s deal with, something that isn’t well publicized at all. That being said, a friend’s brother has been brutally attacked at the same prison where my cousin was attack. Can you please pray for him? And for the other CO’s that were attacked as well? God knows exactly what has occurred and what healings need to take place. Would you please believe with me for complete healing? That each of these CO’s that were injured and their families/friends walk away from this incident realizing the power and greatness of our God?
In other news my sweet daughter who has been feeling sick for a month is finally feeling better! Praise the Lord! This year has been brutal so far for illness for her. I am definitely starting to wonder about her immune system. But prayerfully this has just been a rough patch for her and it is just the adjustment to the middle school germs. She will be having her tonsils and adenoids out next month. And we are hoping that that will eliminate the frequent strep throat infections.
If you so feel led, please just pray for those that are sick or injured. There is so much severe illness and injuries lately. The RSV and flu season has been brutal so far. The little tiny babies and children we are seeing are so so sick. And I have heard that the adults with flu this year are so sick as well. Pray for health please!
And PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE pray for our military! I can’t even fathom what they are experiencing right now. I can’t imagine being their parents…… coming from a military family, I experienced my dad and my brother deploy numerous times, as well as cousins and uncles. They need all of your prayers. Please lift them in your prayers as often as you can. My brother in law hasn’t been called to deploy yet, but we are thinking that he will. Please be praying for him, and my sister, and their two small kiddos, age 2 and 5.
Beautifully Blessed
