Please Pray

My husband, Leo is admitted today for possible surgery. He developed symptoms of obstruction. He can not hold down food, lost a lot of weight, in pain and is weak. He is praising God, he said his suffering is nothing compared to what our Lord had gone through to save him.

Grace

I have prayed.

I will be praying for our dear brother Leo and for you to. Please do come back as you have time and let us know how things are going.

God Bless you both and keep you

Father,
Please touch Leo, and be with his dear Wife.
This is so tramatic on all concerned, but we have the assurance that You care, and You hold each of us in the Palm of Your Hand.
In Jesus Name

Thank you so much for praying.

Tests are being done. He is feeling better- although a little bloated. He says HI :) to you, SI brothers and sisters.

Please continue to uphold him in your prayers.

Dear Grace

How is Leo doing? I just wanted to let you know that we miss him here on the forum and look forward to his coming back real soon. Your family is in our prayers and thoughts.

God Bless and keep you both :)

I will pray for Leo and your family.

Was just thinking about our brother Leo, wondering where he has been. I'm praying and will continue to pray for you dear brother and your family.

May our Lord Jesus heal and keep you in His strength.

The surgeon found cancer in the abdomen. Leo will be on Total Parenteral Nutrition for a long time. He will be re-started on chemo as soon as he is physically able.

I read him your messages (he laughed) and he thanked all of you for your prayers.

He is now able to sit. He continues to praise God and trust His Wisdom. He said, the basis of God's action is perfect love, we need not fear.

In Him,
Grace

With you Leo. Praying for your my friend.

Dear Grace

Thank you for letting us know how Leo is doing. Please know that we here are praying for him still and will continue to seek the Lord on his behalf. I pray you will both just draw on the strength of our Lord, remember He loves you both so very much.

God bless you and your family

We are continuing in prayer, sister.

Leo is now able to sit longer without getting tired. He is also able to walk to the restroom, his bag was removed. He told me, he feels stronger today than yesterday. I praise God for everything.

God's comfort is real. He gives our family peace beyond our ability to comprehend. Leo reminds me everyday to trust in the wisdom of God, because His thoughts are higher than our thoughts and His ways are higher than our ways. It helps me a lot (helps me cope) to know that he continues to trust God completely, he is not anxious about anything, he never complains about his sufferings.

Thank you SI brothers and sisters for praying.

Precious Grace

Several years ago a woman shared with me that her son had studied to be a meteorologist. In the course of that study he had to go up in one of the airplanes that flew into hurricanes. He told her when he got on the plane they buckled him in with something like a six-point harness and made sure he was securely fastened.

The plane took off and the flight was smooth until they began to enter the edges of the storm. The closer they got to the center the more the turbulence increased until he felt as if the very fabric of the plane would come apart. Had he not been securely buckled he would have been seriously injured.

But when they entered the center ... the turbulence stopped and there was incredible peace and beauty. He told her it was like a child's kaleidoscope constantly changing each scene more beautiful than the last. And oh what peace!

I have often thought of this as the storms of life crash around threatening the very fabric of my life and faith. Yet when we stay close to the Lord there is that incredible, unfathomable, unexplainable peace that you are experiencing. The storm is still there but what peace!

I continue to pray for you, Leo and your family. May you continue to know His peace as you are the fragrance of Him to those around in the midst of this momentary trial.
REJOICE! =)
Mary

Greetings Grace

How is Leo doing? You and your family continue to be on my heart. I am praying for you all. Keep trusting in the Lord, let Him be your strength always.

God Bless

Leo is still at the hospital. His NGT was removed yesterday, he was vomiting today. He said he is feeling better though without the NGT, because he can breathe better. He told me this afternoon that he spends his time, thinking about God, leaning on His bossom and enjoying His presence, not asking for anything else. He is too weak to read the Bible, so my son recorded the book of Psalms and the NT on MP3 so he can listen to the Word daily.

I thank you all for your prayers.

Grace

Thanks MJ for asking.
