Prayer List

I am not much of a theologian, but somehow it seems to me that God's greatest desire is for us to experience joy in this life. Not just once or twice, but every day God wants us to experience the joy of existence: a sunset, a snowflake, a dewdrop on a flower's petal.

Too often we feel we are here to experience pain, because it is with pain that we have become more familiar. However, time and again, one of us learns that to give to others, even when bombarded by our own pain, brings us joy, pure, divine joy. When we think of others, care for others, our own pains are diminished, as are diminished the pains of the person for whom we care. Joy breeds joy. Come and visit often, say a prayer, see if a new name has been added, send your love to them through your Creator. Your hearts will be full, joy will conquer suffering, and you will be blessed.

There is one Presence,
one Power in the universe:
a Creator of
Unconditional Love & Healing.
Amen

This is an emergency prayer request.  My grandson is 14 months old and needs a miracle from God.  His vocal cord flap is not closing completely and he aspirates all his food into his lungs.  He had surgery in July and he had a feeding tube put in and Nissen surgery (they wrap the esophagus around the stomach).  Well, his Nissen is not working and they do not think he is strong enough to withstand surgery again right now; however, should he aspirate, he will die.  Pray for God to mend his vocal cord flap and heal this child completely.  I have all faith in God.  I will let you know the outcome - I believe in miracles.  His name is Briggs Chambers.
