A PRAYER REQUEST FOR A BLOGGER'S HUSBAND

 I haven't done a 

Prayer Request 

in a long time.

My friend, Gay Van Beek,

has a blog called 

Canterbury Cottage Designs

Gay recently reached out

to ask for prayers for her

handsome husband,

John Van Beek.


             John has Stage 4 Bladder Cancer

that has metastasized.

Surgery and chemo are part

of the plan of attack.

I think the worst part is how helpless

you feel with that type of diagnosis.

However, I am a firm believer in

miracles and healing.

Please lift John and Gay

and their family in prayer

as they walk this path.

If you are not a pray-er,

please send them well-wishes

and positive thoughts for healing.

Thank you all so much,

and I know how grateful

Gay & John are for any

prayers and well wishes.

  28. I said a prayer for them. I am sorry to see this so late. I have experienced some medical problems and was in hospital for 5 days--dehydration, too low in potassium and magnesium, and anemic. Got out and 3 cays later tested positive for covid! Thank god I had all the shots! The coughing was bad and I slept forever. Feeling better but lost 12 pounds of muscle. Ugh!

  29. I will be praying for this family! HUGS and PRAYERS coming your way!

  30. Hi Diana, I am late to this post but I have prayed for John and Gay today. How tragic and discouraging a diagnosis. I pray that the Lord will give the doctors wisdom. My sister is battling gastric lymphoma and when I pray for her each day, I will pray for John. Hope you're doing well. xoxo
