News from both sides

It is going to be a busy weekend. We had plans to 'do up' our little garden at home. Bought bags of imported pebbles and drawn up some design but looks like that is going to have to wait. We had received several news from both sides of our famlies.



My sister-in-law is in labour now as the doctor induced her since her blood pressure was high and getting dangerous to leave the baby in her. I feel this should be straight forward, if the drugs don't work, the doctors will perform C section on her. So I think I should hear of the birth by the end of the day. God bless her and the little baby who will soon be born.



This morning, I also received heart breaking news. A young member of our extended family has fallen ill. We can only offer prayer and moral support. Please join me in this prayer.



Prayer for the Sick


Dear Jesus, Divine Physician and Healer of the sick, we turn to yo in this time of illness. O dearest compforter of the troubled, alleviate our worry and sorrow with your gentle love, and grant us the grace and strength to accept this burden. Dear God, we place our worries in your hands. We place our sick under your care and humbly ask that you restore your servant to health again. Aboc=ve all, grant us the grace to acknowledge your will that whatever you do, you do for the love of us. Amen.
