Freeper prayer request for Ernest_at_the_Beach (Update: His wife has since passed away)

August 28, 2003

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

Dear Freeper prayer warriors, please keep Ernest_at_the_Beach and his wife in your prayers.

From Ernest_at_the_Beach | 08/28/2003:

Just to let you know that my wife (Kathy ) is now in her final days. Her pain in the last few months from the cancer was constant and unrelenting .

The last several months had been very difficult as she was unable to eat well and not able to eat at all for the last several weeks.

God will be merciful soon and relieve her of the misery of the dreaded disease!

Prayers would be appreciated!

"I have only looked at a little of the thread and just find it a bit overwhelming ."

You and your Kathy obviously touched a lot of lives.
Wishing you and your family peaceful nights and days filled with joyful memories.

[NukeMan]

God bless you, Ernest. Keep the faith and stay active.

[Libertina]

My condolences FReeper friend, but I want to comment on your obviously loving marriage - you cared for your wife and helped ease her pain until the end - now she is in God's embrace. My prayers for you and your family's healing.

The Rose
by Bette Midler

Some say love, it is a river
That drowns the tender reed,
Some say love, it is a razor
That leads your soul to bleed,
Some say love, it is a hunger
An endless aching need,
I say love, it is a flower
And you, its only seed.
It's the heart afraid of breaking
That never learns to dance.
It's the dream afraid of waking
That never takes a chance.
It's the one who won't be taken
Who cannot seem to give,
And the soul afraid of dying
That never learns to live.

And the rest of the song:

When the night has been too lonely,
And the road has been too long,
And you think that love is only
For the lucky and the strong,
Just remember in the winter;
Far beneath the bitter snow
Lies the seed that with the Son's love
In the spring becomes the rose.

Thank you for Ernest's message. It must be a difficult time and understandably overwhelming to try and go forward.
Ernest, you and your family are in our thoughts. Hope when the time is right, we will hear from you again.

May the Lord heal your wound and comfort you.

May God console their aching hearts.
