Day of Prayer and Upcoming Wordless Week

Some of you may remember my friend, a mom of 8, who has a young son with leukemia and a young daughter with kidney failure. This week a different daughter was diagnosed with diabetes.

She is asking for prayer, and since today the 'National Day of Prayer' is coming up, I'd like to ask you to join me. As you can imagine, it's a big burden mentally, physically, financially, and emotionally for them.

Since my recent health issues, the bombing in Boston, the loss of my friend's mother (my hospice patient), and the news above, I have had my fill of worry and negativity. I am pretty sure I am not alone in this.

Next week I will be posting WORDLESS all week! I will be sharing happy and uplifting photos that will speak for themselves. I need to go to my 'happy place' and I want to take you there with me.

Want to join me? We can ALL do a wordless week!!  If you will be joining be sure to comment below so all can visit.

Thank you for sharing an update on your friend's kids. I have been praying for them since you first mentioned them. I will continue renewed vigor!

Not sure if I'll be able to participate in WORDLESS week, but I think it's a great idea.

The weather forecast for here is for warmer temps next week - maybe even 70! We haven't had any warm spring days yet, and with all the flooding still in our area, we really need nice weather.

You're in my prayers!

I said a prayer under last night's pink moon for all those suffering, their families and for cures.
I have an idea for your friend and will email you.

Hello Parsley!

I promise to keep You my sweet friend from Oklahoma,USA,in my prayers ans remember the family You mentioned too !

You wished to know more about our Puppy Project....
As You know my DD has been very poorly cause her health problems and she has been in a eating disorder clinic for eight months-Yes 4 months !!!!
Oh how she and we the rest of the family have had hard times...

Now thanks to Our God Lord Jesus and all her who had prayed for her she is much better..
I write this from Lapland where we are having our Snowboarding Seasons Ending Holiday ...she is here with us and we are having super fun together :)

We have dreamed about a dog that should be:

-a low energy character and suitable for walking slowly with me or DD
short walks but still enjoying to be outdoors(:
- a fluffy coat

My DH has get "in love " with his friends Chow Chows and now we have a Puppy waiting to be old enough.
She is Fawn Coloured Baby Puppy and have a Puppy Sister...We are not 100% sure which one of the sister we get..
The another puppy is called "Nuppu"
it means "A Blossom" and her sister is called "Nukke "= ( a Baby Doll)

The Puppy we will move to our house at last days of next month...
I am so happy as well as my DD ,we just cant wait to meet her !!
