***Monday Prayer and Gratitude***

Good Morning Everyone, Today I am praying for Nan on the PA board. Her daughter took her life last week. I am also praying for a woman on the Mental Health board who is struggling with alcohol and not sure if she is alcoholic. Her husband is deployed for a year to the Middle East. I also need to pray for myself, as my food consumption has gone haywire in the last 24 hours, and I need divine intervention. Finally, I am praying for my daughter and her husband as they drive through the night to Michigan with my granddaughter. They should arrive home by 9 a.m. EDT. Gratitude: I am grateful I had three weeks to visit and enjoy seeing my granddaughter. I am grateful that I do not have to deal with my problems alone, but that I have a loving heavenly Father who will guide me through any and all problems. I am grateful for my family, and friends. I am grateful for my summer job, and the people I work with there. I am grateful for Obesity Help, and the friends I have here at the Christianity Forum, and on the PA forum and the Mental Health forum. Have a blessed Monday. Hugs, Trish

My Monday prayers are: ~My family, particularly my granddaughter (1 yr) who goes to the pediatric orthopedist today for a check up on her hip dysplasia. She's has started walking (at 10 months) so we are hopeful that all is well. ~My husband....when I am away, it seems he is at a "loss". However, he is an unselfish person and allows me these occasional solo travels. My trip to Peru is his gift to me. Actually, one of many gifts he gives that you can't put a price on. ~The people in the two villages of Peru that we will be ministering too on our mission trip. Also, the health of our team members. (One nurse is just getting over the shingles.) ~Last, but not least, I pray for our safety. I am grateful for God's blessings and His provision through the difficult times of life. I'm keeping your prayers on my list as well...
