Prayer request--

Dear all,
One of my mother's most close and dear friends is suffering from severe congestive heart failure. This is a condition where her heart is just not strong emough to pump all the blood out to the body. The blood & fluid backs up & congests the lungs & also collects in other parts of the body. She really needs a heart transplant but is not a candidate because she also has multiple sclerosis. Sister Cheri Wolfe is 47 years old & has 3 small children. Please pray for her & her family. Please pray that the Lord will strengthen her heart if it is his will. The family's and her goal is to be home for Christmas. The Lord is already been answering prayers and she is hopefully getting to go with her family to her mother-in-laws this afternoon. Please pray that she will be strong enough to be able to go. Sister Cheri, to be so sick, is one of the strongest people I know. I know that God has blessed her with that strength. Please pray that she can continue to be a part of her wonderful family. Please announce this in your churches and ask your families to be praying for them as well. I know she will be so excited to hear that she has so many people around the country praying for her. Thank you all so so much.
God bless you all and I hope you have a blessed Christmas!

hey y'all!

OK, I have no plan for this post so I'm just gonna smoothly let my fingers guide me. :-)
Our meeting which was like two or three weeks ago was fabulously fabulous, and Thanksgiving was wonderful as usual. We went to my Grandmothers house and after it was pretty much over, me, Graham, Caleb, Whitney, and Chelsea all had an acorn fight which was really fun. Whitney managed to steal their (Caleb and Grahams)acorns and dumped them out so Caleb drenched her with water. All was fun fun fun.
I also got to see the new Pride and Predjudice which was AWESOME!!!!!!!! Don't worry though. I won't force you to read through one more post about how awesome Mr. Darcy was. Although he was pretty awesome!
I'll try to post sometime soon when I can figure out how to use the scanner...for some reason I've been having a lot of trouble with that lately.
Anyway, good night sleep tight and don't let the bed bugs bite.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY CLAIRE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
God bless-
