I posted this in another forum and they suggested I post it here too. I know them there, but I'll take prayers from anyone that is willing to give them.<P>I feel ashamed for letting this slip my mind and ask forgiveness.<BR>Alot of people here knows what's been going on with me, I know I've pestered you enough about it! But the reason I'm posting now is not for me.<P>I'm requesting prayer for my mother. I was speaking to her the other night. She had watched my kids so my W and I could go have dinner together. She is the sweetest person in the world and very supportive. Over the last few months I have seen my mother health decline. She fell down the stairs at church and has fallen at work (she's a hair-dresser) Her legs are swollen and she can hardly walk.<P>I did not realize she was in this bad of shape when she came over to watch the kids, I told her when she got there that we could postpone or find another sitter, she said no, that she would be fine. I love her to death!<P>Anyway as I was taking her home we started talking and I began asking about her health. She told me about the things that had happened. This saddened me a great deal, I told her about the church service a couple of weeks ago that she had left early to go to a seminar for hair dressers. During the service out Pastor stoppped and said that he felt that everyone sick or afflicted should come to the front and be annointed with oil and prayed for by the elders. My heart went out to my mother, I had a strong feeling for her, yet she did not come. I even went and looked for her. I found out she had left and wandered why the feeling had been so strong.<P>While telling her about this on the way to her house, she told me it was around that same time that she was having a hard time fighting thoughts of suicide! As I type this my hands are shaking. I think back over the last few months and can't help but wander if part of it was my fault, or most of it. I remember many times now her going to the alter at church and praying, many times I felt a need for her.<P>I know this is off-topic for this forum and I ask forgiveness for that, but I also know there are many strong and faithful people here, so I ask, beg, for prayer for this woman. This woman I call Mother. Thank you all.<P><BR><P>------------------<BR>1Co:2:4: And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:<BR>1Co:2:5: That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.
