My co-worker, Maya, has started blogging and I thought I would share her latest blog with you. It is about the importance of telling adults in our lives that we are proud of them. We tell our children and grandchildren all the time, but when was the last time you told an adult you are proud of him/her? When did you last have someone tell you they are proud of you? Check her out here: A Boarding Pass To Life Maya loves to read and is a member of a book club. She also has one of those cute little free libraries in her yard that everyone in her neighborhood enjoys using. She is a wife and mom of two teens and coordinates the Museum's annual Mayfaire art festival. She is pretty amazing, actually! I'm proud of HER!!
My blogging friend, Linda Eller (Me and Mine) lost her blog and had to start over this week. She lost most of her connections too. Some of my friends are also hers (or should be!), so if you are missing Linda, you can find her HERE! Linda is a retired nurse with children and very talented grandchildren. She is a Christian and loves her church and church family. Please give her a visit and connect/re-connect!
Karen is a blogger and you can find her very creative posts HERE at Flamingo Ks Blogabout. She is a seamstress, a crafter, a gardener and a photographer, as well as one of the sweetest souls you would ever want to know.
All that to ask for prayers today, for Karen. She is having surgery for esophageal cancer. The surgery will be long (4-6 hours). She will be in ICU afterwards for 3-4 days, then in a regular hospital room for another 5-7 days. Recuperation will be painful and long. She told me she is ready for it and with God's help will fight through it. Her husband, Lee, will call me when she is out of surgery today. I'll have a report for tomorrow's Prayer & Praise Friday. Offer a prayer for Lee, their kids and the surgical team, too, please. It will be a very long day for all of them. Thanks so much! She believes (as I do) in the power of prayer.
Thank you for your visit today! Wishing you a good Thursday (Friday Eve!). Peace & hugs.
Keeping Karen in prayer. I am glad you posted Linda's new blog and I will check out your friend Maya's site. Have a Blessed day, Terri.
ReplyDeleteYo I are so very kind and thoughtful, Ms. Terri. Prayers for your friend and her family. HOPE you have a great day!
ReplyDeleteThanks Terri for introducing us to your friends' blogs. What a nice gesture on your part. I will be heading over to read some of their work this afternoon. Looking forward to hearing about the lovely ladies in your life.
ReplyDeleteI know Linda because I 'see' her on your page, and I think I remember her from Multiply. You have often mentioned your good friend Karen. I'll be thinking and praying for her today. I'm proud to consider myself one of your friends. I try to let people know I appreciate them but I sometimes forget. Thanks for sharing your special friends and their qualities.
ReplyDeleteI'm adding your friend to my prayers right now. Thanks for all the blog connections...it will be fun to check out some new links. I'm trying to get back to commenting this month. Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteIt's so nice of you to spotlight these three! I've found Linda back, and will be praying for Karen. I like what Maya has to say. Positive affirmation is so important. I try to praise my nurses aides and tell them 'm proud of them. :)
ReplyDeleteSaying a prayer for Karen. Going to visit your friends! Happy October.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing details of your friends and the post about being proud of people. I definitely make sure my kids know I'm proud of them but am probably not as good at doing it for other close friends and family so thanks for reminding me to do that. Sorry to hear about your friend Karen. Have said a prayer for her. I'm also praying for my MIL today as she undergoes surgery for breast cancer and ongoing prayers for my sister-in-law as she continues her journery through chemo etc, also for breast cancer. They both have lots of people praying for them so please God they will get through these difficult times.
