Prayers for my friend Barbara
I know we are powerful pray-ers here. Barbara was Stage IIIB Her2pos. and went through treatment when I did. Her husband Diccon was a rock for her. She is doing well. He has a rare gall bladder cancer. It came out of nowhere in April 2008. According to doc, he has a few weeks. I am praying for a miracle. She is getting small miracles every day, she says. Please pray for them both, that their days together will be blessed.

Prayers
MJo
I am going to pray for your dear friend Barbara and her husband. How heartbreaking for them. I will pray that our Lord grants them blessings as well as peace and comfort through this. (And I will pray for you as well as I know that you are feeling sadness for your friend.)

I, too, ask our Lord to bless Barbara and Diccon. I also believe in miracles and that all things happen for a reason. However, we may not always know the reason, this side of Heaven.
May His peace and love surround them both and may God's Hand be felt by them both.
And to you Mjo....................God Bless your wonderful heart and may you too feel peace.
Love,
Mary Jo

MJo,
I'm going to pray for a miracle for Diccon. May he be cured. And my prayers go out to Barbara too, that she be comforted.
