Mom's good friend from her church gave her these wonderful prayer cards with Bibles verses and prayers. Tonight the four of us each read one aloud to her and we talked about what words and ideas jumped out at us.
We enjoyed doing it very much. Mom really loved it. We said we should do it again and select new blessings. I thought it might be nice if Mom's friends and family sent Mom their favorite blessing, prayer, Bible verse, or poetry to share with her and us. You can send it to dsoares5@cox.net.
Mom had a great weekend, but is having a really tough time tonight, struggling not to spit up bile. I'm counting the minutes to the gastric tube is placed today.
One of the prayers enjoyed tonight from St. Thomas Aquinas:
Grant us o Lord the minds to know you, hearts to seek you, wisdom to find you, conduct to please you, faithful perseverance in waiting for you and a hope of finally embracing you. amen

Christiana,
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for your updates. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.
Hey Denise -
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking of you and your family. I'm at a library in NYC doing job research and it reminds me of the library at CNR (though you went there a lot more than me). When I think of you and Ed, I remember those rather carefree days. I think we will always be thankful of what we had there.
