Prayers for Mimi

I am a little behind on my posts – blame it on the holiday season! I need to catch up but first I wanted to take a moment and ask for some prayers.

Last night my Mimi was admitted into the hospital. For the past several months she has been dealing with the return of cancer and last night, the ugliness of this dreaded disease sent pain throughout her entire body. Thankfully, they were able to administer some medicine to reduce the torture, but she is still being monitored for pain and excess fluid in her body.

I ask for prayers that Mimi can find comfort. She deserves comfort! She has served as a beautiful example of a Christian woman, wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother always thinking of others before herself – serving at the church; taking food to those in need; rocking babies at the hospital; loving her family. She passed that gift onto my mom who shares her passion for serving and doing for others.

As I have recently posted, she filled my childhood with wonderful memories of laughter and fun. She and Papa gave Susan, Emily, me all that we could have wanted or needed. She spoiled us way too much but that’s just the way she is!

Even though she gave us physical goodies, the most important thing she ever lavished on us was her love and love us she did. Her three angels were her treasures…until her 5 great grand kids came into this world. Joshua, Caleb, Rebekah, Jackson, and Philip provided her with so much joy and daily they (along with the three of us and our husbands!) were brought before the Lord in prayer.

She has lived a beautiful life and though I don’t want to see it end, I don’t want her to be in pain. Please join me in prayer that this special woman of faith and love will find comfort and peace.
