A request

Dear friends, I do hope that I am not abusing your kindness and support in any way.  You have all lifted my spirits this week so much with all of your kind words, as you always do, and I cannot tell you how much that means to me.  Again and again you strengthen my faith in friendship.  I know that we don’t all share the same religious faith, but we do share so much, and so I am comfortable asking that those of you who pray, would please, even if only once, pray for my friend Sue’s son Matthew.  After more than two weeks in the ICU (the result of a reaction to a drug he was prescribed from what I understand), he remains in critical condition without improvement.  There is still much room for him to make a full recovery, and as a community, we are believing that he will.  I know that it is prayer that is carrying Sue and her family through this ordeal right now.

This photo is of all of Sue’s children, Matthew at the top left.

We don’t know Matthew personally, but do know Elizabeth, his younger sister pictured here with him.  She was a favorite baby sitter before she left for college.

There is a public group on Facebook that has been created to facilitate support for the Wise family, as well as providing updates to those of us praying.  Any are welcome to join.

Thank you friends, thank you.
