Many of you know and love Deni. She and her family have endured many struggles since we have met her here. They are facing another one and she needs our support. I have been informed they are dealing with a medical scare for her youngest child, Boo. To share any additional information I would be potentially releasing information she is not comfortable sharing at this time. I do know they need our support and prayers. I ask you to please keep them in your thoughts and prayers. You might also want to just visit Deni here and let her know she is in your thoughts and/or prayers.
Deni, may this bring you and your family comfort during the coming days.
The Serenity Prayer
God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.
Living one day at a time;
enjoying one moment at a time;
accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
taking, as He did, this sinful world
as it is, not as I would have it;
trusting that He will make all things right
if I surrender to His Will;
that I may be reasonably happy in this life
and supremely happy with Him
forever in the next.
Amen.
Reinhold Niebuhr (1892-1971)
Deni, you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

Hi Vickie ~~ My thoughts and prayers are with your friend Deni and I hope everything turns out well for her and her family.
Thank you so much for your very kind words in my comments. Let me assure you, I am far from an angel Vickie - I just try to live my life well and be a friend to all. Take care my friend, Love, Merle.

My prayers are added. I know Boo will be fine and I’m holding on to that and my prayers for Deni as well…I know the wait for news is one of the hardest times of a parent’s life.

Hi Vickie
I started to read some of Deni’s posts earlier and that poor lady is certainly being tested. I will pop back now and hopefully offer something that will help in some small way.
You are one of the truly “good ones” Vickie. Take care of you.

Deni is in my thoughts as she helps to see Boo through these next couple of weeks. Praying it turns out to be nothing serious.
And Bless you Vickie for always being there in support of our blog buddies, especially when life hasnt been easy for you and your own family recently.

You always know just what to say, Ms. Vickie. God bless.

Hi, Vickie, my prayers are with Deni and her daughter. I have a hunch it’s a fibroadenoma, which is benign. Please keep us posted.
July 21st, 2007 at 3:29 am
Amen to that Vickie. Deni and her family are in my thoughts and prayers.

Good words to live by! How life can test us, if it’s about our children, it’s the worst! We’d gladly take the pain for them. I guess that’s what Jesus offers us, to be our friend and healer, give us comfort and rest. I’ll certainly pray for Deni and Boo, the whole family.
Bless you, Vickie, for showing so much love to others!

You are such a good friend and a very caring one. My heart goes out to Deni and to Boo. I am praying for good results for Boo`s test in Aug. I also would love it if Deni and her hubbycould have an easier life as they both have worked hard enough to deserve. So, I`m adding that to the prayers for Boo.

My prayers go out to you and your friends. You’re such an awesome person.
I love your poetry!
