Yesterday was difficult although it was a true blessing to get together for a Birthday Dinner for my Husband.
Our son was in enormous pain before he left here last evening.
I have a prayer request this morning. My friend's husband is having signs of dementia. Very hard on the family and of course him. It is very hard to lose the memories and not be able to communicate with friends and his loved ones. his name is Phil. Thank you!
I would like to request prayer for the son of a very dear friend of mine. He has an injury from participating in a Pike Bike competition recently. He has worked very hard to achieve a high standing in this field. He has achieved so much and it will be very difficult so manage his injuries. Of course his Mom is trying to cope with her son's need to take time to heal and receive proper medical care. Please pray that he will be able to heal and get back into the competition. He has worked very hard and he is still young and anxious to return to the sport that he loves so very much!
Also, my Cousins son had a construction accident and received a very serious head injury. he is unable to work, and had many restrictions in place to keep him from further damage. He will defiantly not be able to work, drive and so on. I know that the accident almost cost him his life as they had to medically induce a coma to save his life. I know that his family would very much appreciate your prayers!

Thank you for your prayers.
My friend Kerri and I had a wonderful time with my friends last Thursday. I made a beautiful bracelet of Picasso jasper, a beautiful black lava stone in the center also some aqua marine stones. I had to get more instructions the next morning because I felt that my design was not all that appealing. It was wonderful that she was able to stay overnight at our home and helped me design it myself with her suggestions. I learned so much! I would like to start beading if possible: as a hobby very good for stimulating the mind. Now I need to pray that I will be able to see all the beauty in the stones so as to create something and have fun at the same time. My eyes are getting older but they are still healthy and that is wonderful. All I need is a new pair of glasses.
I do believe she was and continues to be blessed. She was able to see her grandson his 1st birthday. They celebrated on Easter Sunday!

My father-in-law needs all the prayers he can get. I wish I could tell him about you and I wish I could give him some of my faith to god. We visited him today and it's hard to see him so afraid and angry because he is in pain and he will die. And my mother-in-law is also afraid he could loose him soon and angry, because she feels locked up in her appartment. But one good news, I got my results from the biopsy, I don't have skin cancer.

Today I'm coming to you with a prayer request. My father-in-law has cancer for the third time. He had his operation and he could get better, but he seems to not find the strength to do so.

Caleb is now fully recovered, thank you for your prayers.
From Tiffany:
A couple that I've known for awhile, who are still relatively young (in their 60s), have been really going through some trials, the wife has had Alzheimers now for about 5 years. It's progressed very quickly and they now only give her weeks to live. The husband has been a pillar of strength and continues to care for her alone, still even bringing her to church every Sunday. A few days ago he was pushing her in a wheelchair through their home and something caught the wheel. The sudden stop threw her forward and out onto the floor. She had to have stitches and looks very bad. He is already having much difficulty in facing the fact that she could pass any day but now he is riddled with guilt on top of that. Please keep them both, Gary and Laura, in your prayers.

I can make a moving tribute after the accident because of a Belgian occurred in Switzerland last night, which was the condition of 28 dead including 22 children, of 52 passengers, who was returning from a ski camp. The emotion is so strong in Switzerland and Belgium, that I must inform you this terrible information. I would ask you to pray and have a thought for the families of victims. God helps them in these difficult times. I heart goes out to the families and they are in my prayers. one minute of silence was observed in both countries. Tonight I will light a candle for the victims.
From Jenni:

From Leola:
Please remember our PIF Facebook friend Leola Dawn. Leola is in the hospital recuperating from a mild heart attack. She also has leukemia and says it is what has triggered the heart attack. Please keep her in your prayers as the doctors say the leukemia is terminal.
From Carrie:
Please pray for my son John, who
is 22 and has been in a downward spiral for a few
months now. He quit his job, spent all his
money he has saved, attempted suicide twice, one
time involving the police and citations,
misdemeanors, etc., which resulted in jail time
after his hospital stay. As he is an adult,
I have no control over his decisions in regards to
therapy and in-patient treatment. He is
taking medication to control his behavior, which
is either bi-polar or manic, and although it has
helped a little, it has rendered him incapable of
being alone without constant supervision. My
husband lost his job due to covid, so most of the
burden falls on him. It is tearing my family
apart. I pray that God will lay his loving
hands on my son and heal his brain, cast out all
mental illness and manic behavior and suicidal
thoughts. I pray our son will someday be the
son we used to have. Amen.
With much love, gratitude and thanks to this amazing group, and my infinite love to John, our Angel, who I absolutely adore and pray I will meet in heaven. If love can transcend Heaven and Earth, he surely knows I love him.
God Bless,
Linda

My fiancé was admitted to hospital about one month ago with acute pneumonia.
A few weeks ago,his heart stopped and they were able to bring him back with oxygen.
Day before Thanksgiving he was informed he needs open heart surgery. They won't know how many bypasses until they see the severity of the blockages. He is scheduled for surgery tomorrow Dec. 14th. Surgery can be from 3-6 hours.
We are both Christians, praying for the doctors, team and instruments. For his family, that all will feel God's mantle of peace and wellness. I am in California and he is in Montana. Praying I can join him before the New Year.

Of course his Mom is trying to cope with her son's need to take time to heal and receive proper medical care. Please pray that he will be able to heal and get back into the competition. He has worked very hard and he is still young and anxious to return to the sport that he loves so very much!
Also, my Cousins son had a construction accident and received a very serious head injury. he is unable to work, and had many restrictions in place to keep him from further damage. He will defiantly not be able to work, drive and so on. I know that the accident almost cost him his life as they had to medically induce a coma to save his life. I know that his family would very much appreciate your prayers!

Thank you for your prayers.
My friend Kerri and I had a wonderful time with my friends last Thursday. I made a beautiful bracelet of Picasso jasper, a beautiful black lava stone in the center also some aqua marine stones. I had to get more instructions the next morning because I felt that my design was not all that appealing. It was wonderful that she was able to stay overnight at our home and helped me design it myself with her suggestions. I learned so much! I would like to start beading if possible: as a hobby very good for stimulating the mind. Now I need to pray that I will be able to see all the beauty in the stones so as to create something and have fun at the same time. My eyes are getting older but they are still healthy and that is wonderful. All I need is a new pair of glasses.
I do believe she was and continues to be blessed. She was able to see her grandson his 1st birthday. They celebrated on Easter Sunday!

From Tiffany:
A couple that I've known for awhile, who are still relatively young (in their 60s), have been really going through some trials, the wife has had Alzheimers now for about 5 years. It's progressed very quickly and they now only give her weeks to live. The husband has been a pillar of strength and continues to care for her alone, still even bringing her to church every Sunday. A few days ago he was pushing her in a wheelchair through their home and something caught the wheel. The sudden stop threw her forward and out onto the floor. She had to have stitches and looks very bad. He is already having much difficulty in facing the fact that she could pass any day but now he is riddled with guilt on top of that. Please keep them both, Gary and Laura, in your prayers.

From Tracey
As we prepare to
celebrate Christmas, can we all remember those families who
grieve for loved ones no longer with us. I think especially
of Karen and her two young sons as they deal with the second
anniversary of the loss of their husband and father Marcel
on 26th December. Please hold the Dye family in your prayers
too as they face their first Christmas without John. Lets us
also remember the men and women of our Armed Forces who must
spend this festive season away from their families and
homes.
From Jenni:
"Please pray for Zachary, a baby boy
facing a dire medical situation, and for all those who care
for him during this difficult time. Thank you."
From Tracey:
For my brother in law who is having
major knee surgery tomorrow. Prayers for a swift recovery
time for Gary and for my sister, Samantha and the children
as they support him in the days and weeks ahead.
From Jenni:
Today, December 1st, is World AIDS
Day. Please pray that a cure will soon be found for
HIV/AIDS and that, in the meantime, effective treatment
and prevention be available to all who need it regardless
of socio-economic status. Thank you.
Update from Rebecca: I can't believe I am telling you this but my friend Gigi came off the vent today and she has recognized people and even talked a little. God's miracles never cease to amaze me. She has a long road ahead but I am so glad for this. Thanks for all of the prayers.
Hi,I would like to request prayers for my close friend Gigi who has been fighting a courageous battle with cancer for the last 5 years. She became suddenly very ill Mon and is in intensive care on a ventilator. I pray for her healing as well as peace and healing for her mother, and husband.
Thanks,

From Tracey:
Please can I ask that you keep the Dye family in your prayers as they prepare for their first Christmas without their beloved son John. May they take comfort from knowing that John touched so many lives and as a result, we carry out our Random Acts of Kindness and continue to Pay It Forward in his name.

As we approach the Thanksgiving holidays, please keep in your prayers all those families who will be missing loved ones at this time.
From Kimberly:
For my husband's father, Allen, who recently had a cancerous mass removed. Though they believe they got it all, they want to do chemo but Allen has lost 24 pounds since surgery and they won't do chemo unless he puts some weight on.
My husband's brother, Gareth, who is diabetic and has been battling a foot ulcer. They are contemplating amputation.
For my sister in law, Gina, who is trying to care for both of them and work. My husband's family lives in England and we are in the States.
A local pastor committed suicide this past week. Please pray for his wife, Lisa and young daughters, Christina and Betsy as well as for the congregation of Trinity Lutheran Church
And finally, my friend Deyse will be undergoing back surgery in a few weeks. She has been in a lot of pain and is very nervous about the surgery. Please pray God's peace upon her.
From Tracey:
We would welcome your prayers and thanks for the safe arrival of Tracey's Great Nephew who came into the world at 5.27am this morning. As yet unnamed, he is a brother to Evie Rose and first grandson for my brother Ian. Congratulations to his mommy and daddy, Laura and Jason. Please keep the family in your prayers.
From LouAnn:
Update: Patrick is suffering from too much fluid around his lungs and heart. Was admitted to the hospital over Thanksgiving weekend due to pain in his chest. They were able to draw off the fluid and relieve the pain but that was just treating the symptoms. Please pray that his kidney doctor can adjust his dialysis so that this problem is eliminated in the future.
My husband is waiting for a kidney transplant. We have had several surgeries this year several infections in different port sites for his dialysis. Some congestive heart failure due to the clinic not pulling enough fluid off him. New port site put in getting ready to start home dialysis again but only this time Hemo-Dialysis which they have recently started to let patients do at home it tends to be less stress on the body and do it 6 days a week instead of just 3 days which means on weekends really have to watch how much fluid he takes in and having a hard time controlling his potassium level. Our youngest daughter was expecting but about 3 1/2 weeks ago lost the baby but she and her husband are doing well with this along with us. Believe it or not my precious grandson turns 3 years old. Enjoy having the other grandkids around. It is never a dull moment when they are all here.
Please pray for Shelby and her family as she begins cancer treatment. She's the daughter of one of my mom's co-workers. Thank you.
We at the Pay It Forward in Memory of John Dye site pray that God's protection and love surrounds those serving their country and defending freedom. May they and their families know how much their sacrifices are appreciated.
"He will cover you with his
feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his
faithfulness will be your shield and rampart." ~~Psalm
91:4, NIV

Update: PET scan shows Cindy's dad is in Full Remission from the cancer! He will have one more chemo treatment after Christmas and continue to be monitored throughout the next year.
Pray that the chemo works for my dad and he is able to go into remission for Mantle Cell Lymphoma. Cancer has affected so many members of our family-my mom's and my dad's side...we have several members in remission and several in Heaven as a result of cancer. And, pray that I keep my priorities straight through all of this.
