Prayers for MIL, please
Posted: Sep 30, 2013
It is me again. You may remember, she lost her purse quite some time ago now, and you-all prayed and it was found quickly. She does have a diagnosis of Alzheimer's, and hubby and I have moved from one coast to the other to be with her. She is still quite functional, very independent, maintains her own bank account, drives her own car, etc. etc. etc. BUT, she loses her purse often! We think she is hiding it because she is getting paranoid that someone may be stealing from her. When it turns up missing, we all perform a search and it is usually found somewhere in her bedroom or in a closet or in a kitchen cupboard or in a tiny space between her bed and dresser; I am good at finding most of the hiding places by now. The latest, though: Her wallet is missing from her purse!!!!! We have had to take her various places to get a duplicate driver's license and different ID-type cards. She has gone to the dollar store to purchase 2 different replacement wallets, and at this time both are missing. Wallets are far more difficult to find and it takes longer for them to turn up, but they eventually do. She is so in denial about her diagnosis. Anyway, prayers please. Fortunately, she keeps her checkbooks in the purse and not the wallet, so she does have access to her money. I guess if we do reconstruct all of her ID cards again, we need to have extra ones made for us to lock away for "emergencies." Thanks for listening.
PS. Hubby ordered a "key finder" device that beeps if one whistles, thinking this would be an easy solution. MIL would have no part of that. She wanted no one to be able to easily find her purse. So there goes that idea!!!

Prayers for your MIL - sm
[ In Reply To ..]She must be very scared. It's so hard for the family, too. Sending up prayers for all of you so you have peace and can cope with what is to come.
As far as the wallet, have you considered a slim fanny pack/wallet belt that she can wear wherever she goes? That might help a bit if she is willing to wear one.
God bless all of you.
That would not work. - me again
[ In Reply To ..]She would want to hide it, same as she hides everything else. But, thank you for caring. Today is a wonderful day here. We had company all last week. MIL is cleaning up a guest room upstairs, throwing open all the windows. Sun is shining, fresh wair is streaming all through the house, 80+ degrees outside, great day. God is good.
FOUND THE WALLET!!! - me again
[ In Reply To ..]Today, I was typing upstairs in one of the bedrooms I use as my office, and MIL was across the hall in her bedroom, poking around, "straightening up." I took a break and sat down on the bed with her and noted that she was changing out purses. She has a number of them. On looking closer, I noted a wallet in the purse I had not seen for a long time and lo and behold it contained a driver's license, military ID (which she uses when she needs to go to a hospital or doctor's appointment), and social security card, as well as numerous important stuff. I am not sure if this is the original missing one or which replacement wallet this is, but hallelujah, she now has what she needs once again. I knew it would turn up eventually. I have no idea where she found it, as I searched her room quite thoroughly when she was away and found nothing. Thanks for your prayers. I know better than to think this is the last of the problems she will have, but today has been a great day. thanks all for the prayers.

Well ladies, I had my first mammogram a couple of weeks ago, then I had to go back for more views, then biopsies were scheduled, and I had the biopsies 2 days ago. Today I found out that I have breast cancer in 2 areas in my right breast. I'm only 42 and this was just a routine screening mammogram - I had felt no lumps or anything - so this has all been a complete surprise. Please pray that this cancer has not spread and that I will experience comp ...

My 82-year-old father has been diagnosed with lung cancer which is now in his lymph nodes and bones. He was always the one who stood with me no matter what dumb choices I made or what happened in my life. I knew he loved me, and he's just the best person in the world, would give you the shirt off his back. I don't know what to do. I feel so helpless and sad. I truly feel that I don't want to live without him in my life. It all seemed to happen ...

Need Prayers...Jun 10, 2010
I sure could use a few prayers. I'm single, was doing okay on my full time (goverment) job, and my part-time transcription job until last year. I built a townhome, and in the process the contractor walked out and only left a "framed" house. I had to use my downpayment from the sale of my other home to "pay again" to have the townhome finished, plus borrow an additional $37,000 to pay off the 2 of the 5 leins and attorney fees. One year later I was able to move in.&nb ...

I've never asked anyone to pray for me, but I really need some. I need extra work. I've just come across a situation and I really need to find some extra work. I've looked throughout the day and I'm so sick (literally, headache, nauseous and tired). I hate to pray for money, though that is what I'm really needing, but I'll do anything (well almost). I've felt the love of the Lord since I moved here. I wake up and feel He is w ...

Just asking for prayers. I was in a very bad marriage and finally left about 2 months ago literally with just a few suitcases, my animals and 2 pieces of furniture along with my computer.

If You Would Please Keep Ben In Your Prayers.Jan 13, 2014
He has been in the hospital every month at least a couple of times. He is very ill and I know that he will not be here much longer. Our youngest, 33, is having our first grandson in May or June. I am hoping that the Lord will help us get him to that point but, I know too that sometimes, the answer is no. I am selfish for wanting this because I do not want him to suffer any more. It really messes with my heart versus head. The whole family needs your pray ...

I have posted on this board requesting prayer due to emotional abuse by my sister. This, to this day, is ongoing. The main problem is that I have no family of my own. She has two daughters, both of whom I loved very much. My sister has abused me for as long as I can remember. She pulls the silent act, sometimes for many months on end. Eventually she crawls back (usually at holidays, etc.) As many of you know, in an abusive situation the victim has feelings of guilt. My sister is a master ...
