One couple I know is having a rough time. The wife broke her
leg and is finally out of the hospital and in rehab. But her husband was so
distraught over her situation, he had a heart attack. I hesitate to call it
minor - there's really no such thing, in my eyes, as a minor heart attack.
Anyhow, I saw him today. He, too, is finally out of the hospital where they had
him under observation, and he is looking a bit more upbeat now that she is in
rehab. What a mess for them.
Also, a friend of mine needs prayers big time because of a
recent passing of a family member. The situation at that time was tricky.
Family members were overwhelmed with caregiving strain. Because of a
misunderstanding during that final day, two family members no longer talk to
each other. This is when they need each other more than ever.
Yet another friend was released from the hospital only to
face needing to travel to her mom's funeral the next day. It was a rough month
for that couple, too.
The thing is, all these people, or most of them, are all
seniors. In one way, we are stronger emotionally and can deal with issues. But
in another way, it is also harder, the older we get, to heal from medical and
emotional issues.
Prayers would greatly be appreciated for these folks, if you
can spare a moment.
Lord Jesus, you healed and comforted the sick. Please look
upon these folks and see their pain and their heartache. Please lift their
spirits and burdens, and heal wherever possible, according to the Father's
will. We need you now even more than ever.
