For your Christmas Eve...

Two things for your Christmas Eve....

Jonathan's mom's best friend, the other Susan- my other mother-in-law, had surgery on the 23rd. She same through the surgery ok but now seems to have an infection. Its scary. Please pray.

On a lighter note, go read this post my Uncle Tim put up on our extended family/other random people blog. I cried. I laughed so hard. I hope you find it as hysterical as I did.

Merry Christmas!

Saying the Blessing

Usually we say the blessing "God is great, God is good...." before our meals. Kiran prays along with us getting some of the words right. Today I let her say her own blessing before lunch. She said,

God is great.
God is great.
God is great.
God is great.
God is great.
God is great.
God is great
Amen.

I think that God probably enjoyed that prayer.

Request

My sister and brother-in-law's friend, Shane, was in a motorcycle accident this week. They have asked for prayer for Shane- it doesn't look good. He has massive brain trauma and if he pulls through will likely have brain damage. The next 12 to 24 hours are critical as this is the time when his brain should swell the most. Shane is 25 years old and engaged to Beth. They are planning a wedding for February. A car turned left in front of Shane- the driver never saw him and now Shane is barely hanging on to life.

Erin asks for prayer for healing for Shane because at this point they know that only God can heal him. But she also asks for peace in this storm. Please take a moment and lift up Shane and his loved ones.
