A QUICK REMINDER ABOUT FASTING--

This is for those of you that

asked for a reminder to

FAST TODAY.

Click HERE to read more.

I know the fast was started for

John (MyHero) and myself

BUT 

please add my friend, Gert, 

to your prayers.

She lost her dear husband, Tom,

 on Saturday

If you are not a pray-er-

please send your best wishes 

for those that are fasting.

Also, please add my friend, Laura,
to your prayers.
She is now seeking some alternate
treatments for her cancer
because the chemo has stopped working.

I believe in miracles!

Thanks to all of you

that participate in 

ANY WAY--

even just by sending good thoughts!

FEBRUARY 1ST- FASTING For Faith and Healing

You know I have never

had any trouble asking for prayers for others.

However, it is not in my nature to ask

for anything for myself.

I just have a hard time doing that.

A wonderful blogger,
who wanted to remain anonymous
until I put the squeeze on her because
of the great post she wrote about fasting,
Deb-Frugal Little Bungalow

put a call out for a day of fasting on 

behalf of my husband and myself

to take place on Monday - February 1st.
She explained all the different ways to fast.
For some it might be as simple as
skipping one meal that day-
or giving up snacks you would usually have.
You can read the wonderful post
she wrote about fasting here.

Now, those that know me well

know that 

FASTING IS NOT 

part of my vocabulary.

I think fasting is waiting 10 minutes

after my meal

to eat a bowl of ice cream.

Yep- that's me!

However, I am going to join

that wonderful blogger and 

those that have agreed to fast for us, too.

I will fast and pray for my hubby's health 

and continued strength as he fights this battle.

Fasting is different things for different people.

I am going to choose a modified fast-

SUN UP to SUN DOWN

on Monday, February 1st!

So glad for these short winter days-whew!

Because I get up very early
I am going to eat an early breakfast
and drink clear fluids all day-
Clear fluids for me are water,
with or without lemon or lime,
and clear chicken broth.

IF you care to join us - please do so.

If it is not something you are comfortable with-
or you have a medical condition or-
you take food with medications...

just wing a little prayer up for us instead.

Bless all of you.

We are so thankful for those that leave us

comments and well-wishes and 

pray on our behalf

and send us their love.

You all are just

THE BEST!

THANK YOU - THANK YOU - THANK YOU-

For those of you that choose to fast on Monday-

I'll send you an apple pie Tuesday.
I mighta lied about the pie......

I will put up a reminder on Sunday sometime.
