God works on weekends

Posted in #ALL, #prayer, #teamtags by

Labor Day is a United States public holiday, which is always celebrated on the first Monday in September. Essential for the workings of society, it honors the American labor movement and the power of collective action by laborers. This year is the 125th anniversary, as we celebrate those who have contributed to the strength, prosperity and well-being of our country. Typically, it is a day of rest and relaxation.

For most. But this weekend, God was at work, as always, healing as He promises to do. Your abundant prayers for strength, courage and mercy have been heard. As a collaborative and collective action of prayer warriors, you were essential in the workings of Dave’s progress. We never doubted things would turn around. And they have.

Dave has turned the corner and is making progress. His white blood count spiked, allowing his body to begin the healing process. The mucositis is slowly dissipating, and the expected bone and joint pain is overshadowing his previous side effects. As difficult as it may be to hear that his pain continues, this aching points toward engraftment and eventual recovery.

We are definitely celebrating on this first Monday in September. It not only honors those who labor, but honors those who have found it a labor of love to faithfully pray.

  5. My husband had Hodgkin’s lymphoma close to his groin. The steroids weakened his joints. For some reason they gave Jim mustard gas as a chemo and it did a lot of damage. He understands what David is going thru. Jim beat it. He still has pain but he is here and your husband will beat it!! He is strong and fighting. My husband did too. You are constantly in our prayers and you have all our love💖💖💖
    As a wife I know people swear they will be there and then disappear. If either of you ever need an ear we are here. Especially jim, he helped my sister thru hers.

  6. I am praying for a full recovery for you Dave.
    I am a retired critical care nurse. I had worked 38 years. Weekends and Holidays were daggers for some nurses. Not for me. It was rewarding to care for the ill on Christmas. I made sure that my patients knew I was there for them and not just for the paycheck or because it was mandatory.
    I have witnessed God working on weekends and Holidays. I am thankful for each opportunity and patient that God put in my path.
    God blessed me with a gift for caring for the seriously ill. A gift that cannot be retired. So as I sit here and follow your journey, I am praying that you get the top-notch kind of care you deserve.
    Advocating for my patients, family and friends was my best attribute while I was employed. Whether it was a consoling touch or an ear who listened, I was my patients favorite nurse
    I may not have a hand in your care……however you can be sure that I am praying that God finds favor on you and those who care for you
    God’s will be done.
    Praying faithfully,
    Carie Kuras
