My dad is 80 this last May and my mom is 79 last February. They will celebrate their 60th anniversary in December. What a huge blessing and testimony.

But my dad's mind is slipping away. He has good days and bad. On his good days, all is fine. He enjoys yardwork and it has a therapeutic effect on him. But on his bad days, he couldn't tell you what he had for lunch if you asked him at 1 p.m. All this, from what I can tell of our society, is "normal", whatever that is.

My request is actually for my mom. She has rheumatoid arthritis and my dad does pretty much everything for her. It's on his bad days that he is just not of an understanding mind and my mom loses her temper. She is aware of the wrong of it and has asked me and my wife to be in prayer about it. I would ask the same of you. His name is Leonard, hers is Mary.

Our prayer is that the Great Physician would preserve my dad's mind till the rapture or till he is called home and that my mom would be as patient with her husband as she was for so many years with her 2 sons.

Thank you, Prayer Warriors, for your faithfulness.

To God be the glory...

Amen that it is. In this day when so many people tend to divorce and remarry many times it is a blessing to see those that have maintained.

I will be glad to add my prayers for them.

Len,

I gladly join you in prayer for your family. Nearly everyone has someone in their family who's had a stroke, has Alzheimer's, or some other problem that greatly effects thinking. This should be a prayer for all Christians because we will all be in the same boat sooner or later.

Love in Christ,
Tom

Romans 6:10-14 NASB  For the death that He died, He died to sin once for all; but the life that He lives, He lives to God. Even so consider yourselves to be dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus. Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its lusts, and do not go on presenting the members of your body to sin as instruments of unrighteousness; but present yourselves to God as those alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God. For sin shall not be master over you, for you are not under law but under grace.
