I visit a long list of kids most weeks to drop off their Kids Klub worksheets and to catch up with them, their parents and whomever else may want a natter along the way.
One of the friends I've made along my travels is Donna. Some of you know her too. She has a lovely little lad whom I enjoy spending time with and chatting about school and games and his dog and whatever else he cares to chat about. She also has a lot of stuff going on in her family's life. I won't mention most of it. Her sister and kids need your prayer.
All of Donna's family are dealing with one massive heartache at the moment though: Donna's brother was stabbed and torched a couple of weeks ago and is in intensive care with severe burns. This is going to be one long hard slog of a walk and there is more to the situation which makes even more painful for them and specially for Ian. Please pray for Ian by name. He has been moving since saturday when our captain visited him with Donna and prayed for him. That is awesome. Not speaking yet though as he is dosed up on drugs of all sorts against pain and infections. Please pray that he will heal well and rapidly. He is stabble and so far ops and grafts have gone well. Praise God for looking after him in theatre and for keeping him free of infection. The risk of infection is very high and dangerous. Please pray against infections and that God will keep Ian free of infection and speed the healing. Please pray also for Ian's doctors and nurses, that they will know God's divine guidance and inspiration in caring for him and in all they do for him. Ian needs to be looked after by the nursing teams as well as at the hands of God himself. There will be a lot of emotional baggage to deal with in time, both for him and his family. Please pray for Ian, Donna and their family, that they will have Peace and Grace, that they will know freedom from bitterness and anguish, from worry and fear and that ultimately they will step into the freedom and love of Jesus and find healing there as none other can provide. I can ask for more, but these are my prayers right now. I hope many will join me and hold this family in their heart and God's...
In Your mighty name, may those things and more be your blessings on Ian's life, Lord Jesus. Amen.
Also, Claire's still not given birth as far as I know. They were starting to think the babe would arrive on time for the 14th July but we're fast running out of today. I'm quite excited. Thought of phoning today while I was out and about but haven't had a second to stop.
Finally, Danny's escaped from section. The hospital took him on an outing yesterday and he did a bunk. When I spoke to Dad this morning he hadn't heard from them to say they'd found him. Please do pray for his safety and that God will guard his life with his angels. Danny needs hedging around and drawing into God on all levels, spiritually, physically and emotionally. He is so very lost and the places and people he could be hidding with don't bear thinking on.
