Hello dear friends. I wish to apologize for being away from the site for such a time.
I have some prayer requests if I may.
1. My wife :hug: has been diagnosed with alzheimers disease and doesn't seem to be aware of her surroundings or remember her family and friends by face or name. This is a very sad situation for our family.
2. I was diagnosed with lung cancer but I'm now in remission after a lot of prayer and some treatment but I'm physically weak due to the medications and am unable to help my wife as I wish I could. Our finances have been very low and my son helps out when he isn't at work. Other times I am forced to hire a patient's aid to help her in her daily necessities.
I have missed everyone while I was absent. I hope to get caught up on the latest and get back to posting. Unfortunately in my absence I lost my websites. I'll probably have my son start a blog for me. It might be easier to maintain that way.
God bless all of you,
Stephen :read:
Hi Bro,
A prayer for your family goes from me. God is watching over us. He knows what you are going through and is concerned. Even your hairs are numbered. He is carrying you through all these difficult times. I am sure that you have noticed the rays of light even in the bad situations. Praise God.
May the angels watch over you. I ask our Heavenly Father in the name of Jesus to remove sickness from your family. May He girdle you with strength.

Dear brother

I know your wife with out saying it, would love your taking her hand gently and saying a prayer with her each day or even often. You may not realize it but deep down she will feel that emotion of your careing and appreciate it dearly.

Dear Stephen,
You are greatly loved by Christ. If we could only be like him in all we see and do. I fortunately have my physical health but have friends who are dying.
Having a wife with alzheimers is tragic for both of you. She especially when in a confused state. I can only imagine. My many prayers to you, bro.
Love,

Dear bro,
So sad to hear of your troubles. I know how vital it is to have the caring and prayers of others at such a time. There is a dear friend of mine who is dying of advanced cancer. And, although I haven't the power to change things for him and his family, I pray to the one who can. All I can do is pray.
Prayer is more powerful than we know and it is so important to know that petitions are going to our heavenly Father who can ease the way for us.
Please know that prayers for you and your wife and family are going up from me too.
Love and hugs,
Rez:hug:
PS....please stay as close to us as you can and keep us posted.:grouphug:
Hi brother Stephen,
So sorry to hear of your pain. This is the tragedy of Alzheimer's (the 'goodbye' disease) as we lose the person we love. The One we can count on to remember us always is our loving Father.
Prayers for your strength Stephen to go on each day come what may.
:heartbeat: Christian Love,
Tessa
Llee, Rez and Tessa, thank you so much for your prayers and kind words.
May God bless you,
Stephen
