Prayers..

I think leaving this thread open is better. It brings the realization to all of us no matter how proud how rich how much we have hunted or how arrogant our lives, plans and directions can be changed in an instant. Keep the faith brother.

Thank you for your opinion.

I will keep posting my thoughts for you and your wife and there is no reason for you to feel guilty about this thread. Faith is not something that we are meant to keep to ourselves - it is to be shared. A big reason I love this forum is the feeling of community. I've never met you in person, but I want to give you everything I can through prayers and showing my faith. Maybe, just maybe, all the folks on here can spark your faith once more.

I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. Ephesians 3:16-19

No need to apologize for this thread or stop it because you think it’s getting anybody else down. It is actually uplifting to me to see the response from hundreds of like minded people who have never actually met. Great community on this site.
However the thread is meant to be uplifting to you and your wife, so your vote is what counts. Just don’t do it because you feel like you’re bringing anyone else down.

You hit the nail on the head. As I’ve said many times, the amount of love and support that we received has been astounding from strangers to a stranger.

I also would vote to keep this thread open. I for one want to know how your wife is doing. I want to hear how you are doing. Its a dark path down which you walk. Perhaps we as a group can help lighten your path just a little. As fellow disciples of Christ we mourn those with that mourn. We help and uplift those around us. We provide service when possible. Many of us don't know you, but we still pray and have faith that the Lords will is done.
Its part of the plan for us to come to earth and learn from our experiences here. Sometimes we learn things we'd rather not have to.......... Sometimes we can learn through others. Some things we have to do ourselves. The Lord promises us that we won't be tested beyond what we can bare. Be strong and remember that you are known to God and that he loves you. Be strong and pray with strength and conviction. We're here with you.

Thank you Bruce.

I agree with the others that would like to see this thread continue. I disagree with your thinking that this is a "downer." It is probably the only way that most of us can help up-lift you and Rosalie during these trying times. There is an old saying "that when the going gets tough, the tough get going." In the meantime I will continue praying for both of you.

 

[johnnyblues]

Thank you for your opinion. I’m going to have to depend on members for prayers. As I’ve said I have given up hope on prayer. Just can’t bring myself right now back.

Our prayers are with you and your wife.
God bless

Johnnyblues: I just wrote a long post that I deleted as it didn't have the message that I wanted to give you. I lost my wife on 06/06/2015 to prostate cancer which had metastasized to her lungs and liver. It had been detected in 2012, but ignored by the doctor at Nellis AFB. When it was finally detected and acted upon in 2014, it was Stage IV. We had a 24-36 month prognosis. We got 13.

There are days that I choke on my own bitterness. I am much angrier than I used to be. I wonder often if I did enough to keep her fighting. I wonder also if she knew I loved her every day. I hope that I did enough of both. I started to write that "all I have left is,...." but that isn't how I want to sound. I have an amazing daughter, a beautiful grand daughter (that Caeli never got to see), two Golden Retrievers, a boring cop job and Africa.

I hope for a positive outcome to this for your wife. Having said that, take every opportunity to tell her that you love her. Take every opportunity to hold her. I can shut my eyes and almost feel Caeli. Sadly, it's only a memory, but it's what I have.

My first PH's wife was recently diagnosed with Stage III breast cancer. I pray for anyone going into this vicious fight and I am so happy for anyone who comes out the other side victorious. I pray for your wife. I pray for you. Fight with all that you can. Keep your wife fighting. Never give up, even when things are dark.

Thank you sir. I will PM you this evening. John

Watching a loved one struggle with that damned cancer is something that we all have in common, sadly. I hate it. So much goodness in this thread...I wish that I could share a campfire with all of you.

Ya me too bro. I could use a quiet place in the bush with a good glass of wine and liked minded hunters.

Thank you for your opinion. I’m going to have to depend on members for prayers. As I’ve said I have given up hope on prayer. Just can’t bring myself right now back.

You and your wife need to keep your faith and both pray. Speak life and pray and condemn this. Remember that this onslaught is not a test from God but an attack by the devil.

My son was diagnosed with thyroid problems end of last year(he is 13 years old). He is a healthy boy who swims for the school team and he is a double provincial champion in wrestling and also achieved a silver and bronze medal at the South African National championships in Oct of last year. So we have a active boy with serious thyroid problems. How does this come about?

In Sept of last year we joined a group which had brought us a lot closer to God. My whole families lives changes and everything had become so clear to us and we had a whole new outlook on life. Then suddenly my son was diagnosed. We knew that this was from the devil as he had lost my son as he was now a child of God, so he had to make an onslaught.

His TSH levels where 22(normal is 4). The Dr. immediately sent us to the best Specialist in the country. We had to wait for over a month to get an appointment. When he was diagnosed we all did not accept this. We condemned this attack and prayed everyday 1 Peter 2v24 and Psalm 91. We kept telling everybody he was healed and that we are only keeping the appointment with the specialist to confirm this.

On the 19th of Dec we saw the specialist. He needed to do more blood test to determine the level of treatment(either hormone treatment and/or radiation). Furthermore he needed to do a Cholesterol test as with his high score and the sonar, he said that my sons cholesterol would also be too high. My wife insisted that he check the TSH levels again and that they would be normal. He then explained that there is no cure for the virus that attacks the T4(made from the TSH) and that his score could not be normal. 4 is normal, 10 is very high and 22 is extreme. We did not accept it and said he needs to test again to confirm he is fine.

He did do all his additional tests as well as the TSH. Next day he phoned and said he cannot give us an explanation but my sons tests all came out normal!! I said I can explain it-Faith and prayers!

I don't want to preach to you, this is a hunting forum and I also believe that each person is entitled to his own religion. However since we changed our ways things just work so much better.
I would in the past always have taken such miracles that happen with a pinch of salt but not after what has happened to us over the last few months.

Keep the faith and pray.

I will also be praying for you and your family.
God bless you and your wife.

Amazing story indeed. I’m thrilled you son is well. Thank you for sharing. I’m trying to stay strong but it’s difficult to be honest.

Johnnyblues, you may not see it that way but AH is your quiet place in the bush with a glass of wine and like minded hunters. The only difference is that we use a keyboard to communicate.

 

[johnnyblues]

Well said. Your right. But as I mentioned I feel as though I’m abusing the hunting site. If you know what I mean.

 

[Shootist43]

Don't concern yourself about abusing the site. If we think you are, we'll let you know!!

Its the weekend, CELEBRATE by buying her a doughnut for breakfast, she'll love you.
