Spiritual Blessings

Last Wednesday mom received her third chemo treatment. She now has to get a shot after every treatment to help with her white blood count. Chemo has taken a toll on her body, the pasted few days her bones have been aching, almost like she needs to get them oiled. It has been difficult to move. I thought it would help for her to get some fresh air so we brought her to feed the ducks yesterday. She really liked that! We’ve had a lot of company, Mike, Shanna, Randy and Charmaine came to visit on Thursday.

Please keep mom in your prayers…she needs us to be intercessors on her behalf.

Back in July of 2007 our Pastor preached a message on a life that pleases God. I have a desire to live a life that pleases God, really pleases God and I understand now that I need to pray daily for spiritual blessings. I believe my mom wants that too but we need to be in prayer about these things:

•Pray For Spiritual Hunger Psalm 119:103 3 How sweet are your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth!

•Pray For A Burden Jeremiah 20:9 But if I say, "I will not mention him or speak any more in his name," his word is in my heart like a fire,a fire shut up in my bones. I am weary of holding it in; indeed, I cannot.

•Pray For Opportunities 1 Corinthians 4:9-10 For it seems to me that God has put us apostles on display at the end of the procession, like men condemned to die in the arena. We have been made a spectacle to the whole universe, to angels as well as to men. We are fools for Christ, but you are so wise in Christ! We are weak, but you are strong! You are honored, we are dishonored!

•Pray For Courage Acts 4:29 Now, Lord, consider their threats and enable your servants to speak your word with great boldness.

•Pray For Vision 2 Kings 6:17 And Elisha prayed, "O LORD, open his eyes so he may see." Then the LORD opened the servant's eyes, and he looked and saw the hills full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha.

Thank you for uniting with me to pray for my mother, may God show His favor on you.
