David is in hospital after several strokes - & expected to die in a day or so.

He is in Southampton 70 miles away, he's never trusted Christ & had a mocking attitude to me - often quoting the school RE teacher who questioned all the basic Bible teaching from a modernist position.

Thanks for prayer - we saw him this afternoon - he looks stable, his left hand was functioning, but the right looked useless. I was able to read & remind him of the Gospel, & pray with him. 

I don't know what to expect in the way of recovery - pray that he will be at peace with God. 

His wife, grandson & our sister were at the hospital. We don't meet very often - a 150 mile round trip is a lot for me. 

I think most of us have families we are concerned about. 

We were scheduled to look after our grandson Michael (2 1/2) today - they've move 120 miles away.They came & we played with him, I cuddled Alexandra (1 month) & quietened her by singing "There's a friend for little children." My son's RC wife Jola is open to such low key witnessing.

May we have a blessed & encouraging Lord's Day.

Ian, I will certainly be in prayer about this situation and ask for church prayer tomorrow, both for your brother's health and especially for his salvation. I am sure that he has had adequate witness in the form of his brother. Let's all just pray that that witness will have sown the seed that will lead him into our Saviors loving arms.

David's son reported a slight improvement in his basic condition - breathing easier & both eyes opening, but now the hospital considers that there is no hope of any normal life. At best he will be bed-ridden & totally dependent for everything. They expect his heart to give out, so will give basic care but not medical treatment.

Please continue to pray for his salvation, as presumably his mind is active. Dying is still living.

Ian,

I will be praying for you and the family as you have suffered this great loss friend. God be with you and strengthen you mightily.

As John encouraged in his post above, hold on to the hope, and as you posted above, God can do wonderful things in a mans mind at the end, when a man sits in silence.

Your life with David might not be over, except maybe here.

Remember, His word will not return void,

Russ

About 100 at the funeral - no Gospel - time for remembering loved ones. Began & ended with prayer, & included Psalm 23 & "All things bright & beautiful." 

Our elderly Aunts weren't able to be there. Lily - 90ish - is in hospital & could be next. We stayed at the guest room of Aunt Mary's retirement flat & prayed with her & Uncle Ray before coming home. While my mother was alive we were very close, but after she died we didn't have occasions to come together. 

Thanks for prayers. 

Sept 20th

Now we have heard Aunt Lily has cancer - lumps in stomach & neck. She is mentally alert, & they will treat her with chemo. Please add her to your prayers. When we have spoken of the Gospel, her attitude was typical CofE - Christian by infant baptism & church attendance.

Update:

David's widow, Trixie, had a stroke a few days before Christmas, but recovered enough in a few days to return home. She's OK at home but needs lots of help as she can't get out.

Aunt Lily is now in a hospice.

My wife Ann suffered severe bleeding early December & was diagnosed with womb cancer. We were at the hospital several times a week through December & January, until hysterectomy at the end of January. She has made a good recovery & they think there is a low chance of recurrence, so she is having 4 sessions of radiotherapy. Started yesterday & will end next Thursday.

Thank you for your prayers.

Thank you for this update Ian, my prayers go out to and for Ann, as well as comfort for you. I have a good resource that deals with coping with the side effects of chemo and radiation if you or Ann would like to have it. My late wife wrote this resource and placed it online and it has been a help to many.
