The Power and Love of Prayer

It has been awhile since I have posted on here. As some of you know, I had to go to the Quad Cities where my mother lives. Back in February she had a heart attack that took her to the hospital and from there cause she was very weak, she ended up going to a nursing home there. Where she has a good friend who is a nurse there. Anyways since Feb she has been to the hospital 5 times. And on mother's day, at 7:52 in the am. I got a phone call that took her back to the hospital, so I decided from that I needed to go up there and I was right. So her visit to the hospital that time was for 3 days then back to the nursing home. A meeting about her care, we had and they made a discharge date for June 11th. Cause for the rules of insurance you are only able to stay for 100 days. Unless you have private care, or the state kicks in. And that is with their John Deere Insurance, and their Medicare. Anyways the Monday before she was to come home she ended up sick and back in the hospital. That made the 5th trip to the hospital since Feb. Well she is home now, she has a deck and a ramp in her bedroom. But she is weak and can't get out of bed with out assistance.
You know while I was visiting my mother in the nursing home and hospital. All I wanted to do is curl up beside her and she hold me or me hold her. That is something I never had when I was a child. And I have always done that to me girls. And still do to this day and my oldest is 34 in a few weeks and my youngest will be 27 in Sept. And when they come and lay on my shoulder or walk up to me and say I need you to hug me. I automatically do that, I mean after all I am their mother. I wanted to feel that love that my girls feel when I hug and love on them. I am here to tell you if you have a sour relationship with one of your parents, or siblings or whom ever it might be. Ask God to help you look at things different, and trust me when you ask God to help you with that situation he will. And things will start happening that will floor you. How do I know cause it has happened to me. Now when I leave her house or hang up with her on the phone, we always say we love each other, and she started saying I love you the mostest. And which ever one says it first, says you got me. See I know my will be called home one day. And I do not want it to be the last word I said to her was cross. I want to remember the last word I said was I love you.
I want to take the time to tell some of you readers, that thank you so very much. For your prayers. See prayers work,no matter what they work. I called home on a Sunday am. And I said Gina I really need you to pray. She text me something Exodus 14:14 And I have not forgotten it. Be calm and let the Father do the fighting. That is not King James version but it means the same.
Well I need to get off here. We have a wedding this weekend. Pray for the peace of God Please. They are already married, she just wanted to have the wedding.
Well God Bless

Love Nan
