Prayer for Dee and Her Family

Posted on by November 17, 2023avatar

Dear Readers,

Dee has asked me to inform you that her mother is about to pass away and therefore Dee will not be posting Part 3 of the Waydown Workshop this afternoon. Your prayers for Dee and her family are greatly appreciated in this, their time of sorrow.

Update: It has been about 90 minutes since I posted the above information and Dee has just contacted me to ask that I let everyone know that her mother has passed away.

Thank you,
Todd

    Thank you for letting us know about Dee’s mother, Todd. And we can wait for her post — while I’m looking forward to Dee’s post, she and her family come first.

    I’m praying for Dee and her family….

  8. May the Lord bless and keep you and your family, Dee, in your sorrow. Lord Jesus, please be very near.

  10. So very sorry Dee. May you and your family know His Comfort.

    The LORD is close to the brokenhearted; he rescues those whose spirits are crushed. Ps 34:18

  14. Dee, wishing you and your entire family God’s peace and comfort following the loss of your beloved mom

  17. Bless those who mourn, Eternal God, with the comfort of Your love. May each day arise with hope and peace. Nothing can destroy the good that has been given and the life of goodness lived, by Your grace. May memories be joyful, with days enriched with friendship, and lives encircled by Your love.

  19. Sincerest condolences. May the angels welcome her to Paradise. May the martyrs greet her on her way.

  20. I’m so sorry, too, Dee.
    I hope all of you and your family and friends being comfort to one another. May you and your family find comfort, peace and happiness from the years….. decades…. of wonderful memories that you have to share and treasure.

    May God bless your family, and give you the energy and stamina to do what needs to be done. Take time to rest and reflect. As others have said, we can wait.

  21. Dear Dee,

    May God grant your mother rest in a place of light, and the fullness of his kingdom. Memory eternal.

    Allow yourself as much time as you need for everything, including getting back to the blog.

    Yesterday was the 20th anniversary of my mother’s passing.

    Much love to you & family-
    Dana

    Dana,

    It’s coming up on 20 years since my father’s passing too, and today would be his 102nd birthday. And nearly 3 years since my mother’s. Where did the years go?

    I like the blessing that you have in your tradition: “Memory eternal.” Amen.

    Agreed.

    It’s almost 14 years since my Dad went, and over 16 years since my Mum did so. My Dad would be 109 now and my Mum 102.

    We no longer have ties in the town where they are buried. I’m about to arrange my burial in this town where the family never had ties; the fruit of being enterprising and scattering when young.

    At two of my recent few churches, I’ve been the only over 45 or the only under 85. Who is interested in the time? Each of us bears witness to what God saw.

    Thank you Dee for your inspiration.

  25. So sorry Dee. It’s been a long journey, and you have cared for your precious Mom well. Praying for comfort for you and your family as you miss her, and for an abundance of good memories to flood your hearts and minds.

  26. Heartfelt condolences to Dee and family on the passing of their beloved mother and grandmother.

  28. Sorry for your loss, Dee. May the Lord’s peace be with you and your family during this difficult time.

  29. Dee, this was a song at our church today. I thought of you and your family as I listened to the lyrics of “Center Of It All” …

    There’s a different kind of peace
    In the middle of the storm
    There’s a different kind of strength
    When the weakness makes us strong
    There’s a different kind of healing
    That cures the longing in our soul
    And it’s a different kind of hope
    More than we see it’s who we know

    We will praise You in the center
    Praise You in the center of it all
    The center of it all
    Every valley every victory
    You are with us in the center of it all
    The center of it all

  31. Sorry to hear about your mom Dee. May the God of all comfort encourage you and your family and may He be glorified as you all come together to remember your mom.

  34. I just read this post. It saddens me so much to know you’re going through this, Dee. I know what it’s like.

    Please take care of yourself. I’ll be praying for you and your family, as you asked.

  36. Sorry to hear this news. Will pray for God to give peace and comfort to the hearts of all who mourn.

  37. I’m so sorry for your loss, Dee. You have been the best of daughters. May God comfort and bless you and your family in your time of mourning.
