Prayer Requests for the Anonymous

At Christmastime, two college-age siblings from our church asked what they could do to help.  I told them they could visit bethematch.org and register to be bone marrow donors.  I challenged them to ask five friends each to do the same.  Their mother sent a card this week in which she told us that Jim and Sarah are each organizing “Be the Match” campaigns at their respective schools!  Let’s pray that their campaigns are successful and that many people are helped by their efforts.  God bless Jim, Sarah, and all donors everywhere!

Our patient-care class on Thursday was to have been attended by two other patients.  Please pray for the one who could not attend because he/she had to be hospitalized.  And, even more sadly, for the one who was not permitted to attend the class because he/she did not have a support person to accompany and support him/her.  That anonymous person is haunting my thoughts.  Thank God our family feels extremely supported through this ordeal.  Many prayers are needed for those who do not have the blessing of loving care.

Pray that Jeff’s mystery woman stays well and safe, that she knows we are thinking of her and appreciating her generosity, and that one day next year we will meet her so that we can embrace her and tell her these things face to face.
