So instead I am asking for prayers, if you feel so inclined. It’s been a rough week.
Aunt Lucille, who I’ve told you about many times, is in the hospital after suffering two heart attacks last week. She is 92 years young, but I am afraid that even she has a finite life. Please include her in your prayers.
A very good friend is suffering in the last stages of cancer. Please keep him in your prayers.
Someone else in my life just received a diagnosis of an autoimmune disease and is having trouble accepting it. Please keep her in your prayers.
And a friend back in New York faces a double mastectomy for breast cancer next week; please keep her in your prayers too.
I didn’t include names for several people as I am not sure how they would feel about my writing their requests here. Just keep them in your thoughts, these anonymous friends of mine, who need your charity and prayers now more than ever.
As for me, I am blessed beyond measure, and I thank God daily for health, happiness, a career I love, and the cozy warmth of my office where I spin threads of words that turn into things people actually want to read.
Blessings to you all!

May all those you care about feel loved.
Take care.

You and yours will be in my thoughts. *hug* There are a lot of great autoimmune resources and groups online out there for your one friend if she is open to looking. Don’t forget to take care of yourself during this time of stress!

Seems like things come in bunches and their are so many who need prayers. Makes us feel so selfish and yet thankful sometimes for the blessings we do receive.Prayers for your friends and family.
