Dear prayer warriors!<BR>Please keep my husband in your prayers. He was told last week that he can work out of town (permanently) or be laid off last week. I think he is picking being laid off. They offered him more $ to go out of town to work. I don't think it is a healthy decision for our marriage - or for our family for him to work out of town - but I still request your prayers for my husband.<BR>Thank you <BR>TnT

Thank you Karenna<BR>He went to work today and told them that his family was more important, and that he couldn't "buy in" with sending husbands out of town to work. PTL!<BR>Now we need to pray for that "open door" close to home! Lord, I know that you know every hair on our heads, and make provisions for even the sparrows. Father, I pray that you will help my husband find meaning in his work, that it glorifies you, and is in harmony with our family and marriage needs. I thank you that you have already taken notice, and provided the door for my husband's work. Bless the fruits of his hands, Lord. And, father I ask you to help his ears hear and his eyes to see the way that you have for him.<BR>Lord I also pray for my job, that you would give me favor - and help me to do a great job to your glory. In Jesus Name,<BR>Amen

Thank you "Samantha" for the beautiful prayers.<P>Our little guy went to visit his grandparents - and he is extremely homesick. Throwing up, the whole 9 yards. Say a little prayer for him - and his grandparents. They feel awful. He isn't due back until the 21st. He's pretty close with my son - and I know he would feel much better if he could be with him. However, H wants to bring him home right now - which will cost arm and a leg. It is a shame he is so homesick! Say a little prayer for him too. Thanks<BR>TNT

Hi TNT,<P><BR>I am so glad the way things are going for you. [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com] It is always nice to hear good news.<P>I pray that your son is able to bond with his grandparents. I know he is homesick now but he will find things that he likes about being there. Try and give him some time.

Thank you Pahakissa<P>I did some searches on homesickness and separation anxiety disorder. Husband doesn't want to read any of the research that I've done! Our little guy is having such a hard time only during certain times of the night. Last night he called at 1:30am and we were up until 3:00am. The research says to not "rescue" him, and to be brief, up-beat and to praise his success in activities. We realize that we didn't do enough with him to prepare for this. <P>My husband and I ended up lovebusting over this - me wanting my husband to not bring my son home right now, to give it some time - and my husband feeling the need to solve my son's homesickness RIGHT NOW.<P>Compounded with job transitions and the unknown, my husband REALLY need prayers....!!! Please!<BR>Thank you very much.<BR>TnT <P>Any prayers you can give will be of great help!

TNT,<BR>My prayers are with you.<P>I just thought I'd share that my counselor suggested that anytime I wake up during the night to pray. And, it isn't because praying usually puts me to sleep [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com]. But, certainly a prayer with your son is a good idea, one I suspect you've done already.<P>Psalms 3: 3-5 "But thou, O Lord, art a shield about me, my glory, and the lifter of my head. I cry alooud to the Lord, and he answers me from his holy hill. I lie down and sleep; I wake again, for the Lord sustains me."

Dear Lord,<P>Give TNT the peace that surpasses all understanding. We know you have everything in control and that we need to just trust in you and show your love which is what wins others to you and gives us your peace and joy. Give her H the wisdom to see what it is that you would have him to do in support of his family and in worshipping of you. In Jesus Name,<P>Amen<P>------------------<BR><B><I>God Bless,<BR>Rob</I></B><BR> regilmor@swbell.net

Thank you prayer warriors!<P>My husband moved our little guy's trip home one week - relieving us all of a lot of concern. Little guy is still saying he wants to come home - but I know he'll be happier when he moves his trips from his grandparents to my other adult son. He'll get more comfortable.<P>We are still waiting to see which door will open for my husband. He's not planning on working out of town despite the money so I think that is great - and I know the Lord will provide a way that is harmonious for our family.<P>Cali - thank you for taking the time to pray for me, despite the difficult time you are having. I've been praying for your husband.<BR>Sheryl - THANKS! Sure hope I didn't bore you to death with the thread about Lutheranism! I thought dogbert really wanted to know how Lutherans believed.<BR>Lor - you found the perfect Bible verse for me to hang on to - thank you so very much, and hope things are well with you?<BR>Rob - My goodness, out of the wires (I'd say woodwork but I know computers are wires.....) Thank you for your prayers! You have always always always been a prayer warrior for me, thank you!<P>I'll let you all know what happens with my husband's job - when we know! He said he wants to find something that is meaningful - is that progress or what?<P>Praise the Lord!<BR>TnT
