This week the trial of Derek Chauvin started. I live in the twin cities and am worried about how many jurors who said when asked ‘all lives matter’. Please keep justice and George Floyd and frankly this country in your prayers.
I want to send thanks to all who said prayers or sent healing energy. It was greatly appreciated. I've gotten things squared away with the NTSB, so now we only need for my son to work things out with his employer.
Sending prayers to all above who have asked for support. ?
Your post reminded me to also say thanks to those who prayed for my friend Brian. I believe he transitioned last Friday (from what I can deduce from social media posts by close friends of his. No official death notice that I can see yet.) I truly appreciate the support that you all help to provide when each of us needs a boost. Continued prayers for his mother, Barbara, whom I know will be a bit lost without him.
Prayers for Elias and Rose who have tested positive for Covid-19. They live in Bethlehem in the West Bank and are at high risk. There are no available ICU beds, the hospitals are at over 100% capacity and there are not enough vaccines even for hospital staff. May they know how much their family members love them from across the ocean and may they feel the presence of angels watching over them,
@lovendures, oh my how horrid;-( Prayers for them and all the people who live there and weather Covid in these circumstances.
Once again, I have come to this forum to ask for prayers for someone I know who has been impacted after a mass shooting.
2 1/2 years ago I came here asking for prayers for my friend Jackie who lost her cousin in the Pittsburg Synagogue mass shooting. Within that same week my husband had a childhood friend lose his son in the Ventura nightclub/bar mass shooting.
Well tonight, my same friend Jackie who lost her cousin in Pittsburg just sent out an email to alert us that her granddaughter and son-in-law were in the parking lot about to enter the King Soopers market in Boulder when the shooting began today. Her 13 year old granddaughter saw everything unfold including the swat team descending into the store and people running outside with their hands on their heads so police would not shoot them.
They are safe and uninjured but traumatized.
Please keep Jackie who is very upset (but grateful) and her family in your prayers tonight as well as everyone impacted by this horrible event.
This just deeply pains me to know we are still dealing with this insanity.
One nice thing of all the lockdowns was the absence of all the mass shootings.
They most definitely are back. The past week has been bad for sure.
@lovendures so sorry to read. What an awful thing to go through. We do not have much of them here in Europe, but I can imagine the fear and pain of going through these so many times a year. Blessings for you and Jackie. ❤️
@lovendures, will send prayers friend. It is such a sad state we find ourselves in that there is such a repetative history to such tragedies in this country.
@lovendures Oh, that is horrible to hear. Prayers for their peace after witnessing this event.
@lovendures I will keep them in my prayers. My heart breaks for all affected. My constant prayer for peace everywhere will continue. ❤️☮️
Praying ????? Also praying that the new measures proposed and passed by the House make it thru the Senate- both of the 20 something male shooters bought their weapons mere days before carrying out their assaults. We have GOT to enact these laws!!! " prayers and condolences" are not enough?
Gang, I have a very honest prayer request for you right now. Our community spread has reached a point where our hospitals are filling. A very, very dear person to me is now in the larger hospital a few towns over, completely unresponsive, on a ventilator, her organs shutting down. She is one of the nicest people you could ever meet, and I've worked with one of her wonderful sons (and her daughter) in several community theater projects. They're the first to arrive and lend a hand at any community event. They're the last to leave and help clean up and tear down at the end. They'd give you the shirts off their backs, the food on their shelves, and money in their wallets if you truly needed it. The town she hails from is a deeply conservative, deeply religious, deeply Dutch community that has essentially taken a "Jesus will protect us" attitude toward this whole thing. In the last week alone they've lost several prominent community members. My heart was breaking for them then, but now that it's this woman, this family, this human in particular I don't know that the pieces of that broken heart left can reassemble. I just keep seeing the sweet smile of her kids, their positive "can-do" attitudes... I am devastated for them.
May your friend know she is deeply loved. May she be held in love and feel that love as she is being cared for in the hospital. May her children and family feel that love as well.
No matter what the outcome, I know you will help heal their family through the arts and other supportive ways. Just as this beautiful family has given to you when in need, you have and will continue to do so for them. It is who you are. You started by coming here right?
A big hug to you, I feel you sorrow and pain. We can't forget that while some states, some countries are seeing less cases, others are on a dramatic rise. It is a lot to hold in our hearts. Our world continues to grieve even as the rays of light are emerging.
@dannyboy I’m so very sorry. The family is fortunate to have your friendship and they are going to need you. As does your sweet friend who is so ill. Many prayers and healing blessings coming their way.
Thank you everyone for the prayers for this family. Unfortunately we just received word that she passed away. If you could lift the rest of the family in light and love with me, it would be greatly appreciated. This thing is the worst.
Shortly after I wrote my message to you, I closed my eyes and thought again of your friend. I saw an angel from the shoulders down with large wings. It was in the style of how a Byzantine icon would depict an angel. The wings flapped forward with a swoosh and although I couldn't see your friend, I felt the wings cover her. I sensed she had passed or was about to pass. I felt the message was to give you comfort, that she was with angels and they were taking her home.
I am so sorry Dannyboy. I believe everything I wrote earlier. You will help this family you care about to heal. She knows this as well. I don't know how you will do it, but your actions will make a difference.
Wow! Alabama has gotten hammered with tornadoes today, one which was on the ground for 100 straight miles. Now Georgia is getting into the act with schools and even the airport isn the path. Prayers for all of our Alabama and Georgia friends.
