Upnorth SR needs prayers

[Upnorth]

Anyone who belivies in the power of prayer I have a favor to ask. My dad is in intensive care right now with a severe lung issue and could use any help he can get. We believe in prayer and would love some if possible. God bless,

Done.

Thank you. I have to go back to the hospital now. ICU is right next to the baby unit. One year ago it was a place of joy. Now I don't want to be there.

[ThunderDan]

Good luck going forward. I'll keep your family in my prayers.

Isaiah 58:6-9

"Is this not the kind of fasting I have chosen: to loose the chains of injustice and untie the cords of the yoke, to set the opressed free and break every yoke?
Is it not to share your food with the hungry and to provide the poor wanderer with shelter—when you see the naked, to clothe them, and not to turn away from your own flesh and blood?
Then your light will break forth like the dawn, and your healing will quickly appear; then your righteousness will go before you, and the glory of the Lord will be your rear guard.
Then you will call, and the Lord will answer; you will cry for help, and he will say: 'Here I am.'"

I am with you and your family, lad.

Best Wishes.

UpNorth, you crazy Canuck....so sorry to hear about your dad being in ICU. You can count on prayers and support from your friends south of the border.

Hope and pray he has a speedy recovery.

Still no diagnosis (sp?). They are leaning towards terminal cancer, but may be just a lung infection. Still on ventilator. Thanks everyone.

Squeeze his hand and remind him of all his unfinished business. Those grandkids are going to need spoiling.

I'll go out and look up at ol' Ursa Major and send a prayer your way.

Prayers are with you and your family Upnorth! It's uncomfortable but you being with him is oh so important right now....for both of you! Good thoughts being sent your way.

Let's hope for the best and pray that God's will be done.

"But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I said to you. Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your heart be troubled, nor let it be fearful."

(John 14:26-27)

Continued prayers, Upnorth. Take care of your mom.

A peaceful passing is such a blessing.

A lady I knew died two days ago. With the end near, her husband wrote that she was singing hymns and praise songs from 1:30-5am. By 5:30am, she was gone. She dead at peace, knowing exactly where she was going.

UpNorth...I'm just now seeing this. I'm so sorry about your dad. I'll pray for you and your family.

UpNorth, really sorry for your dad's passing. Blessing that it was quick and relatively pain free. Cherish the times you and your family had with him, like the time he had with your kids that you described. Keep your head up, we're pulling for you, buddy...
