Prayers for a Host Whose Son Has Died

[quiverfull7]

I have a past host whose son died last night as a result of injuries he suffered last week in the roadside bombing in Iraq. I am so sad for her... she's the bubbliest, most encouraging woman and she has just oozed love for her children forever... I've known her for lots of years... not friends but aquaintances .. my heart hurts for her... swells with pride at his willing sacrifice for me and my family to stay free... He LOVED his military!!! Please lift Glenda and her family up before God's throne.

Her and her family will be in my prayers

My nephew is in the Marines and station in Okinawa, Japan and is to be sent to Iraq soon, just don't know when.

God will surround her and her family and give them peace

I will be praying for her and her family! Thank God there are people out there willing to serve this amazing country, but I am saddened by all of their sacrifices...especially when they lose someone like that.

This was over a year ago, but I'm sure the families can use prayers even a year later as they move on after the loss.

Diane, prayers continue to come for this family, a year later. Any update on how Glenda and the rest of the family are doing?

Sadly, contact with her is difficult and I don't think she goes out very often. I'll check again with her neighbor. We have lost 2 more servicemen since then in our county.

Well, this was probably accidentally bumped for a reason then!

 

[quiverfull7]

I believe that too!

It is so nice when "accidents" happen for a reason!

When I was 11, my next door neighbor was shot down in Vietnam. He was 19. He was a lifeguard and taught so many of us kids in the neighborhood to swim. His mom was the secretary at our church and I remember so well 2 men in uniform coming to her house - then realizing she was at work and headed to church to tell her the news. I remember my mom crying - we all knew. It was summer when they drove up and we were outside and we just knew.

I carry this verse in my wallet in remembrance of him - his name was Steve and I think it was with him that I first understood death and war and the sacrifice these brave men and women give to our country. He was just a baby - 19 seemed so old to me then but it seems so young now.

"Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go." JOSHUA 1:9

Diane - I didnt know about your host and Im so sorry - I did a double take at first then realized the date. I'm so sorry.

 

[raebates]

The family and friends of this brave soldier will be in my prayers.

 

[pampchefrhondab]

I am so sorry and will be praying for her and the family.
