Update on Bonnie



"When sisters stand shoulder to shoulder
who stands a chance against us?"
Pam Brown


This is my favorite “Sisters” photo.  Bonnie is the blonde hugging me, Judy is the redhead next to me, and brunette Tammie behind her.  How’s that for variety?

Thank you, friends, for helping me  pray for Bonnie whom I mentioned in my post just a month ago, June 11.  She was vacationing in Las Vegas and was rushed to Sunrise Hospital for immediate surgery for a brain aneurysm.  It was such a dangerous time, but your loving prayers got us through.  She began to respond and yesterday, she was airlifted back to Chicago where she is in rehab in a hospital close to home.  She is beginning to talk!  She responded accurately to the nurse who asked her to say her birth date.  

My family and I thank you and we appreciate  every prayer for Bonnie!  

Mark 16:18 “And these signs will accompany those who believe: in my name they will cast out demons; they will speak in new tongues; they will pick up serpents with their hands; and if they drink any deadly poison, it will not hurt them; they will lay their hands on the sick, and they will recover.”

    Oh Mary what a lovely photo of you and your sisters! I'm so happy to hear that Bonnie is on the mend now, and what a comfort it is to know that our Father is in control of every situation, working in it and through it.
    Love , hugs & prayers coming your way and for Bonnie and your family.

    In His love,

    Such wonderful news! Like you, I have 3 sisters. I know what a joy they are; and how worrisome it would be should even one of them have so great a struggle as Bonnie.

    Praying God's continued mercies & healing.

A Memorial Day Reflection

  Memorial Day is always noteworthy for me and my girls.  Next Thursday marks the third year of missing their father, my husband. So many thoughts  run through my mind.  The journey of loss takes on various emotions.  The strongest feeling, at first, was emptiness.  In a split second, I would forget he departed forever.  I imagined things I needed to talk to him about when he got back home.  My mind is realistic now.  He's not coming back.  There will be no more times of sitting on the porch swing together on the front deck staring at the moon and the stars.  He would tell me all he knew about the majestic night sky. I have so much I wish I could tell him, like the excitement of seeing our oldest grandchild make a decision to follow Jesus and get baptized on Mother's Day!  And our little Amy, 11 years old, I wish he could have seen her on stage receiving her induction to the National Honor Society. Our daughters have their own ...

Massive Wave; Need Prayer!

A few days ago, I dreamt that I was on the beach and a massive wave was approaching the shore but I didn’t move. I wondered why? It’s hard to write now on my blog. I’m going to focus on the Lord in prayer and His Word for a few weeks so please don’t worry about me. I need your prayers and encouragement. Your blogs lift me up when I visit you; I’m blessed to know so many bloggers who love Jesus and I will continue to read your posts and be inspired! Know that I hold your prayer requests near and dear to my heart and will continue to pray faithfully for you. That is a promise! The spiritual battle against my family rages. One precious sister commented to me that the warfare is not so much about all the issues that the enemy is falsely accusing our family members about as it is about the Name of God! This battle belongs to Him. I praise Him for His faithfulness. The name of the LORD is a strong tower; the righteous run to it and are safe. Proverbs 18:10 Please pray for the upcoming court ...

It's Not Always About the Tomatoes

I like to travel with buddies and rename them.  I vacationed in Costa Rica with Lupe who loves margaritas   and gets a little loopy.   I don’t drink but I’m a fun gal.  Just ask my co-worker, Frank.  I nicknamed him Jellyfish.  I packed my underwater camera.  Jellyfish can hold his breath really long.  He modeled for my underwater photo shoot in the colossal pool at the resort our company chose for us. I am fascinated with rain forests so my favorite thing to do in Costa Rica is to take walks in them.  I signed up for the tour of an organic cacao working farm.  Lupe chose it too.  A group of us piled into tractors to view crops of watermelon, mango, rice and cattle while we chewed on natural sugar cane, their largest product.  We observed monkeys, Toucans, and sloths. The best part of the tour for me taught about climate change and harvest time as we walked single file among papaya trees, cacao trees, as we...
