Yesterday was a “hairy scary” day with Mom. She got extremely upset as she “thought” something had happened to my sister, and once again in her mind, my sister was a “little girl.” She had to “go and get her.” “My sister was in trouble.” Mom begin to change clothes and anxiety was not even the word for it!
We tried to explain to her the “truth” of the matter, which only angered her greatly. When she got mad at my Dad and me, she refused to take her medication for the anxiety for almost two hours. So this went on for a while.
All I could do was in silent prayer over and over say, “God please help us?” “God please help her?” While doing this, my mind begin to flow back to my blog and the post I did asking for “Prayer for my Mom.”
All I could see were all the “like” hits, and the “comments” letting me know we were being prayed for. The words begin to flood my soul, “I am praying for you and your family.” All of a sudden “peace” begin to come, as I knew through your many prayers I was “not alone.” I had people loving and praying for me and my family, and “we” were not alone. I also realised, “God was hearing those prayers, and would answer them.” Within thirty minutes of these thoughts, Mom begin to “calm” and we were able to give to her the medication she needed. She went to working her puzzle and reading her magazines.
I can do “nothing” without God. He is the answer to all “problems.” He is compassionate and knows when the “breaking point” is being reached. I also could do “nothing” without your “prayers” and “compassion.”
A lot of the time we think the words, “I will pray for you,” mean nothing. Yesterday these “words” were my very “calm in my storm.” They were my “strength in my weakness.” They were my “joy in my sorrow.” They were my “love in my Mom’s anger.”
The wonderful thing about being God’s children, is how “we give God to others in their time of need.” All of you gave God to me in five little words. “I will pray for you.”
Have a great weekend and God Bless, SR
God bless you and your family, SR. You and your dad are Simon of Cyrene and Veronica helping your mom with her very heavy cross and we continue to pray for you.
Hey 8 Kids,
Thank you so much! You do not know how many times I saw your face on this blog yesterday! Your smile coming across your picture. I am going to try and get out and mow today and enjoy some of the beautiful weather we are having in Texas. Thank you also for the “Simon of Cyrene” and “Veronica.” I will remember this our next “episode.” Again thank you so much, have a great weekend, and God Bless! SR
♥♥♥ What a beautiful word picture 8!
SR—I have a theory about prayer, not sure if it’s true, but the thought has comforted me in a time of need, and I hope and pray it’s true, lol. When we pray, we are communicating with God in the hearing of the angels and saints, and those prayers have entered the spiritual realm where there are no time constraints or barriers. The prayers my Mother prayed for me while she was alive are still being heard in heaven, and answered. The prayer I prayed for you the other day is still wafting around in the hearing of all the angels and saints, and is still being heard by an all-knowing Father who hears and answers our prayers. I like to think that the saints and angels may hear a prayer and witness our struggle, and add their own prayer to the one already prayed, thus agreeing in prayer with us in the heavens.
I’ll say another one for you today, one of thanks and praise for your selfless gift to your Momma, and one of prayer for comfort and peace to her mind, body, and spirit.

Hey Lyn,
Thank you so much for prayers! I do not know if it is “true” or “not,” but I would like to think it is. It is a lovely and comforting thought. I think the Saints probably pray for us for a specific thing until God answers our prayers. I do believe prayers in heaven never cease:>) Again thanks for much for prayers and comment. God Bless, SR
Offering my prayer hour before the blessed sacrament for your Mom and you and your Dad tonight. Peace and love and God’s blessing on you all!
Hey Biltrix,
Thank you so much! What a wonderful feeling that gives to my heart! I just had to shut my eyes, and imagine it in my soul! Thanks again dear friend. God Bless, SR
God is indeed the answer to all problems. May the peace of Christ come upon your mom, dad, and you. All of you are in my thoughts and prayers. I will say a special prayer for your mom to be calm, that she easily takes her medicine, and for both you and your dad as you take care of your mom. God Bless.
Hey Teresa,
Thank you so much for your prayers. I now have Dad sick with an abscess in a sweat gland. He is in a lot of pain and look to be taking him to the ER either tonight or tomorrow. I pray he will go as I am so afraid that thing will burst and then we have a whole other issue on our hands. He wants to wait until Monday to go to the doctor’s office. I am really tired Teresa. I am about to shut it down for the day! Again thanks so much for prayers, sweet comment and God Bless, SR
