Families are Christians’ Exercise Equipment

Two prayer requests.

First, reader thebends says:

Would you mind keeping my Mother in your prayers? She’s waged a
life-long battle with rheumatoid arthritis and severe psoriasis. She
is to start dialysis today to help her kidneys rebound from no doubt
the cumulative effect of years of medication. She’s in pretty rough
shape and things aren’t looking too good.

She lives in Los Angeles with her brother, but my brother and I (we’re
the only kids) live in Texas. My brother and I are in the process of
moving her back home to Texas, however, her health has not cooperated.
This has been very frustrating – to say the least.

Prayers for her health and for guidance and strength for my brother
and I would be greatly appreciated.

Since then, he reports that she has managed to avoid dialysis, so God is obviously listening.

Ed Bonderenka passes this on. The writer is a lady named Judy:

My niece, Sharon, has two small sons whose father has been arrested for use of cocaine, he has set himself on fire, engaged in shoplifting (with the boys) and is involved in a lot of other illegal things. She will soon be going to court to try to make sure that he does not have un-supervised visitation. It is a long story but if you would please say a prayer of protection over Jacob and Joseph it would be greatly appreciated. Also would you please pray that the court will find favor with Sharon and that ultimately that their father will get the help he needs?

Thank You and Happy Easter/Passover!

Maybe Ed can fill in some details.

Incidentally, Ed has a great blog. If you enjoy reading about life from a Christian perspective, you’ll love it.
