Prayers Appreciated

Time stands still on days like this. Received sad news.

My cousin, Mike, is in a coma. He's been in poor health, but I didn't expect this. I'm holding onto a thread of hope that he could recover, but right now it's not looking good. I haven't seen Mike in many years, but I'm close to his sister, Mary.

My niece's husband's father also fell ill. Not expected to pull through.

So hard on the family. Prayers appreciated.

The Lord brought this Scripture to mind today, and it brought comfort. "Hope deferred makes the heart sick, But desire fulfilled is a tree of life." Prov 13:12 Reminds me that here on earth, our hearts are sick with grief as hope is deferred. But the tree of life awaits in Heaven, for all who believe in Christ...and our desires will be fulfilled there.
