Prayer request

dheffley
Being around on this planet for some 58 years or so I have met many people. Of all these people I can only claim to have 3 friends over the years who I could count on through thick and thin. The guy to bail you out of jail or give you his last beer or cigarette without even flinching. The friend who would loan you $100 and not ask why. The friend who tells your wife yah he was at my house last night. A friend that every time he'd come over would bring beer and when you went to his house he handed you one before even saying hi. If your car broke down and you called him he'd ask where can I pick you up. These friends are few and far between. One I buried 15 years ago, the second I will bury tomorrow. If any of you have ever had a friend like this please say a prayer for them and for mine. Bob, you'll be sorrowfully missed by me but even more so by your family.


I want to thank all of you that offered their thoughts and prayers.
Bob hired me at the auto parts store that he managed back in June of 1969. I was fresh out of high school and had been sworn into the Army. Because I wouldn't be 18 for a few more months and the fact that my AIT didn't have an opening until early the following year I had some time to kill. Bob was buried this morning witch included a beautiful service and a an amazing eulogy from his 3 children.
The one thing though that I will probably never know or understand was how did he ever get the Budweiser truck to deliver to his house.


Thanks again to all.

    My wife is having her right knee replaced at 1:30 this afternoon. She had the left one done in Feb.and got along great. I truly believe the prayers and good thought had a lot to do with that. Thanks Jay

    I don't do this often but please offer up one for my best friend and his family. His mother was watching her grandkids this afternoon . She got up to go to the restroom when she fell over and died from a stroke. Please say one for the kids who watched their grandma die in front of them. I know that has to tear them up inside.

    I've never asked for a prayer request, but I could use a few prayers sent this way.

    My wife found 3 lumps in her breast last week.
    I've been working too many hours out of town to post lately.

    Thanks everyone.

    Some close family friends lost there daughter today less than a mile from my home. Rebecca was with her church youth group along the Washougal river Sunday afternoon when she told her Friends she was going to inter-tube by herself a little ways down the seemingly calm river and would return in 45 minutes. After a hour her Friends became concerned and started searching and then called 911 for assistance. The sheriffs departments search and rescue unit searched into the early morning and then resumed searching after the sunrise this morning (I joined the search after learning about the missing girl unaware who she was until I saw her mother at the rivers bank)We searched all along the banks while divers searched under rocks and in the deep eddies that are prevalent along that portion of the river. We prayed that she was safe and possibly only lost. Her body was found almost 24 hours after disappearing less then a hundred yards from where she was last seen.

    Rebecca who was only 17, was involved in auto accident just a year ago and was in a coma for two weeks and was hospitalized for months during her recovery.
    The last words I had with her a few weeks past were how fragile life was and how I felt her life had been spared for great things in her future. She was a very sweet Innocent young lady and now she is gone.

    If you could please say a prayer for her, and her family.

    Yesterday, (01-10-2011), at about 1800 hours my 17 year old daughter and a friend had a bad wreck just outside of Commerce, Texas. They were going to eat and hit a slick bridge. There was a Txdot truck and a sanding truck stopped on the bridge with the right lane open. She hit the bridge and started sliding. Like most inexperienced drivers she hit the brakes because she was headed toward the bridge rail. The car spun around and hit the back of the Txdot truck right in the passenger door. The girls were lucky. My daughter ended up with a couple stitches in her forehead and the other girl ended up with a chip on each side of her hip. Not a serious injury requiring surgery but said to be a very painful injury with a long painful recovery and rehab. My last words to her before she left were, "Drive slow and watch the bridges especially after it gets dark".

    Both girls will spend the night in hospital tonight. My daughter was transferred to Parkland in Dallas with a subdural hematoma. They wanted a Neurosurgeon to look at her just as a precaution.

    We had such high hopes for 2011 especially after loosing my son in March of 2010 and now already ten days into 2011 and this. I don't know how much more we can endure. Please pray for us and for Ally, (my daughter), and Jeanette, (Ally's friend).

    The car is totalled and with only liability insurance we are perty much screwed. Oh well. Life goes on.

    Thanks for any and all prayers.

    I don't care what your religious persuasion is, or even if you pray, all I ask is if you do pray please say a prayer for my hubbie. If you don't pray, just think positive thoughts for him.

    Since his two surgeries last year he has had a lingering, raspy voice. At first we thought it was from having major surgery in February and then having another the next month (March for those of you who are calendar challenged). We thought at first that having a tube down his throat had irritated it and it would just take time to recover.

    As time passed he didn't improve, but had sinus issues, bronchitis, etc. so still no large alarm bells sounding. Went to have the bronchitis taken care of a few weeks ago and the GP sent him to an ENT.

    He saw the ENT yesterday. He has a growth on his vocal cords. He is scheduled for out patient surgery on the 16th to have it removed. They will biopsy the growth and go from there.

    Some of you may recall he had prostate surgery last February. His PSA has not dropped to 0 yet and now we have this growth. We need prayers and well wishes, lots of them.

    Thanks folks.

    Please pray for my dear friends Greg and Tammy. They lost their daughter to cancer two years ago, and it has taken over their lives. They separated a week ago, but still love each other very much. They are both lost in grief and need to get back together. They have agreed to see a marriage counselor, but they need prayers that it will work. As one who knows what the loss of a child can do to a marriage, my heart goes out to both of them.

    How you doin'!wolf_evil_smile_md_wht.gif

    Not something I would usually ask for. My wife's little sister is going in for open heart surgery on the 23rd. She is six years old and a precious little girl.

    Please pray for my son Josh. He is in danger of harming himself and I've done all I can do, but he is going over the edge.

    I know he has problems, and I know he has brought most of them on himself, but he is my son, and I love him.

    Thank you in advance,

    Danny and Sandy

    My grandma is going in for a total knee replacement in the morning. At 87 surgery and recovery are going to be a challenge. Please keep Mildred in your thoughts and prayers. This woman means more to me than i could ever express. She has had a huge impact on me being the man I am today.

    My wife's grandmother passed away yesterday. Dear sweet lady, full of spirit. Ended her battle with cancer after 6 long years. Lived to the ripe old age of 98.

    My wife's mother had been her care giver the last six years. It's been really hard on her to do that, and now to not have that in her life is going to be a big switch.

    I don't usually ask for prayers from this group, but I am now. My youngest daughter is adopted and we just got word that her birth mother passed away a couple of days ago. This alone is bad enough, but she just lost her birth father about six weeks ago. She was blessed by having four parents, by being adopted, but now she has lost three of them and is having a hard time. Your prayers for her would be appreciated.

    Thanks.
