Slight Confusion

I must admit there was a slight confusion on my part for establishing this blog. I thought it was to a haven for posting and sharing great God stories and prayers. God, as usual had a different plan. Two days after my 59th birthday I received a call about my BFF (over 50 years) Ginger. Ginger had a stroke and was still in the hospital. We arrived at the hospital and I found that Ginger (58 I`m the old lady of the group) had suddenly become a reflection of my 75 year old mother that suffered the devastating disease, alzheimers. Ginger had a vocabulary of about 8 words. How could this happen to a nurse and caregiver of the entire world! What a reality check. Recovery is continuing at home with 4 days a week of therapy.

The intensity of a prayer circle at our church on Sunday was such a needed blessing. We held a picture of Ginger and prayed for her healing and recovery, I remember that my entire body was trembling as I beckon to God on my friend behalf. Thanks to God for hearing our prayers!

  1. Love you, Friend. Will continue to keep Ginger in prayer.

  2. The prayer circles that we find our way to quite often at church are always a blessing; maybe as much for those praying as for those receiving!
