Prayer time

I have three different kinds of

prayer/bookmarks projects to 

show today.  The first is a prayer box.

You can write a prayer, slip it inside

and wait on the Lord to answer it

because He certainly will. 

Box opened

Mini prayer journal.  Isn't it cute?!

Bible bookmark.  It's got

a little raised gem in the 

center of the flower, but I don't

think that's going to make a

mark in your Bible.  Here is

a shot of the way it works.

You just slip it inside, on either

side of the page and it will keep

your place nicely.

My mom was in the hospital again

yesterday (and very agitated).  She

was disoriented and forgetting 

her words.  I know my dad doesn't

 want to put her in a nursing home

and I don't know what their financial

situation is, but I don't know how long

he can care for her at home.  He is 80

(she is as well) and has COPD.  His 

heart goes into A-fib every so often,

too, although I think the defbrillation

he had a few months ago has

gotten his heart back into rhythm.

It's stressful for him.  She is scared

and rightfully so.  It must be horrifying

to just lose yourself.  I can't

even imagine nor do I want to.  I'm

more worried about him right now

than her, though.   I try to be as

supportive as I can, but there's not

a lot I can do.  The nurse is coming

to visit today, so He will talk to her.

The hospital wants her to be evaluated

which will take anywhere between one

and two weeks.  Inpatient. That's not 

going to go over well with her and

he doesn't want that either .  It will

give him some respite, though.  I

don't know what the right thing

is to do except pray a lot.  I would

appreciate any prayers that you

might want to offer on our behalf.

 Thanks.

Happy Tuesday!
