I must apologize for my absence, I needed a break and have been spending time with my family and stepchildren, and grandbabies. . And out of nowhere came a horrible diagnosis and health issues for my WIFE. She has been dealing with depression for some time and was drinking very heavy for a while. Her health took a turn for the worst and was diagnosed with cirrhosis of the liver. It is hard for me to imagine this actually happen. She has been a heavier drinker than me long before I met her but I never thought that it was that bad. Anyway she has been in hospice for a few weeks and now not eating or drinking and on pain meds every 2 hours. Very shallow breathing so I am sure it will not be long at all. I am asking for you prayers for her, she said some time age she has never been baptized and I am not sure if she has ever ask for forgiveness. I would gladly take her place so she would not be suffering. I am doing my best but it rips at my heart seeing her the way she is, and I would never wish this on my worst enemy. ANYWAY GOD BLESS YOU ALL. And I hope this message finds all of you well and in good spirits friends, brothers and sisters
TO ALL MY DEAR FRIENDS, BROTHERS, AND SISTERS
🧘Mental/Physical Health 🏋🏼♂️
It is hard to find consolation in grief such as yours. Having been in a similar situation and thinking about God's love, I am reminded that a person that is seemingly sound asleep or has their consciousness affected by medication, can still hear you. Their response to your questions about their relationship Jesus may be answered in their minds, unheard by you. But it will be heard by your wife's loving creator. God bless you both, fren
Came hear to say this...the hearing is still operating before and even after our spirits cross over. If you doubt read or watch the testimonials of anyone who experienced a Near Death Experience (NDE) Tell your beloved wife everything you want her to know.
Praying for your entire family fren! 🙏🤍
J1D... you are A VERY BRIGH LIGHT that I hope never goes out...THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT I DID WITH MY LATE WIFE...I got really close to her ear and said that "I loved her and NOT to be afraid"!!!! I left the room and after that and my father-in-law came and said she had passed...Thank you for your VERY Insightful comment to KnockKnockItsJinx26 ...
That damn name is way too long after a few glasses!!!!
Oh dear eagle, I'm sorry that you had to lose her but you are wise fren. I know she heard you because they wait for our signal to them to cross over. You gave her everything she needed to hear before she left...your love and courage.
I still talk to all of my family that has passed because I believe we are only separated by a vibration, almost like a thin veil or curtain...so very close and they can still hear us. That is the Grace of God...☝️✨🌌
You can call me JD...😉
Joy it is so good to hear from you, how have you been sis? I hope all is well dear. I am so exhausted over all of this. It has really taken a toll on me. Since Brenda's health had gone down I am trying to keep the kids from fighting with each other and keep all the bills straight. Brenda always paid or told me which bills to pay, I just made the money. So it is stressful learning how to keep everything together. Allt this stuff hit fast, my job made a lot of changes about the middle of last year and I lost like 20k because of it so now I am expecting to lose about 40k for an entire year. I would be so much better off if they had not done that, at least financially. Anyway I am just chalking it up as another test and try to look at any day above ground is a good day.
Oh dear fren, I'm so sorry that you are juggling all of these job related challenges during the most important time of your life.
You will learn the household accounting with practice. Just take a deep breath and make a list of your bills that are due Monthly from the 1- 15 & those due from the 16 - 30. A little organization helps take away the stress.
Your first priority is your health, Brenda and your kids. Are there any family members that can help? Grandparents, siblings, Aunts or Uncles?
Thanks for letting your family here know so we can keep you lifted in prayer. Trust God's Plan and Pray Psalm 91 over you family daily. Blessings! 🙏🤍
Psalm 91
1 Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
2 I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.”
3 Surely he will save you from the fowler’s snare and from the deadly pestilence.
4 He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.
5 You will not fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day,
6 nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness, nor the plague that destroys at midday.
7 A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you.
8 You will only observe with your eyes and see the punishment of the wicked.
9 If you say, “The Lord is my refuge,” and you make the Most High your dwelling,
10 no harm will overtake you, no disaster will come near your tent.
11 For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways;
12 they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.
13 You will tread on the lion and the cobra; you will trample the great lion and the serpent.
14 “Because he[b] loves me,” says the Lord, “I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.
15 He will call on me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him.
16 With long life I will satisfy him and show him my salvation.”
Me too. I believe there's healing on the other side.
I am sorry that you are both going through this, but be grateful that you are at her side, so you can tell her that you love her and that you will be together again. Do what you can to help her feel more comfortable. God bless you both.
Dear fren!
Not eating or drinking is a sign of depression, not even feeling enough self-worth that even eating to preserve life is worth it. Sad but true, I understand it, I have trouble eating too.
Baptism can be performed by a bishop, priest, or deacon in normal circumstances, but in emergencies, anyone with the right intention can baptize using the Trinitarian formula. This means that even a non-baptized person can perform a baptism if necessary.
Her health situation is an emergency. Unless she resists, you can baptize her.
May God Bless both of you!
I agree
This
The thief on the cross was not baptized either but he asked Jesus for forgiveness at his last moments on earth and Jesus forgave him. Hopefully she has asked Jesus for forgiveness in her state of suffering. Fear not and put it in God's hands.
I am sorry hear this, friend. I will pray for the both of you. I am convinced that as long as she has breath in her she can hear you so please continue to talk to her about Jesus Christ even if you don’t think she can hear you. She can. And God can. Stay strong brother.
Heavenly Father, we bring this beloved wife to your throne of grace. We can not come to you unless we come through Jesus, and we can not come to Jesus unless you draw us to him. Even if she is unable to hear us, she is able to hear you. Please draw her to Jesus that he may reveal you to her. Let your Holy Spirit work faith in her that she may see, know, understand, & believe that Jesus died for her sins, was raised to life as proof that his sacrifice paid the price for her sins, and that she may have her name written in the Lamb's book of life. Let her be baptized into the name of the Father, Son, & Holy Spirit that her sins are washed away, covered by the blood of the Lamb, and her joy may be complete, knowing that when she leaves this world she will be with you for eternity. I ask this in Jesus' Holy & Mighty name, and to your glory, Father. Amen.
Heavenly Father, please strengthen u/Kilowatt2066, and all who love his wife, with your presence, draw them to faith in Christ Jesus as the hope for their salvation, fill them with your Holy Spirit, love, & peace. Let them see you at work in their lives in the coming days, weeks, & months, knowing that you will neither leave them or forsake them, trusting in your love that endures forever. Comfort them in your mercy. I ask this in Jesus' Holy & Mighty name, and to your gliry, Father. Amen.
Prayers for wife, you, and family.
Remember, one of the thieves crucified at the same time as Jesus was not baptized and Jesus said he would be with Him in Heaven.
Prayers for you during such difficult times. Peace be with you.
best wishes to your wife fern........
May you and your family have strength, resilience and understanding when you need it.
Will pray for you and your wife my friend. Please see if a priest can see her, God bless.
prayers for your family at this difficult time…peace be with you all…
Sending Prayers good Fren. Thoughts are with at this moment.
Praying for you, fren, If you would like, I can bring this to the group @Christianity on Tuesday, and will pray now too. Sometimes when people go through this they have a lucid moment or more where you can communicate to them what you need to communicate, this is one of the things I will pray for her.
Heavenly Father, You spoke through the Apostle Paul to remind us to weep with those who weep. We cry out to you along with our friend, Kilowatt2066, that you would have mercy and extend grace to his wife and his whole family. Give the opportunity, even at this late hour, for her to profess faith in what You have done for us in sending Jesus to die and rise again.
We ask in Jesus name, knowing that You are able to do abundantly above what we could ask or think,
Amen
Thank you and yes to your question fren
Amen to your heartfelt prayer PRP! ✨🙌
Prayers sent for her salvation. I'm pretty sure she doesn't need to be baptized, just to believe. I've been reading and watching some NDE stories recently and some of them weren't believers but still went to heaven and saw Jesus and/or the Father.
You can pray beside her and ask the Lord Jesus to forgive her sins and to look into her heart and see the goodness there. He will hear your prayer on her behalf and bless her and bestow his graciousness upon her. Thank you Jesus for loving us and forgiving us our sins. Amen.
You can pray for the person but each of us must accept salvation for ourselves.
Must they accept salvation verbally or can they do it mentally if they unable to speak?
We don’t have pray aloud for God to hear us. If a person is unable to speak, praying silently is okay because God hears your heart and mind.
Dear God give this family strength.
In your sons name Jesus Christ.
Amen.
God Bless you and your wife and family! Prayers fren u/#God
Love and peace to you and your dear wife.
I'm so sorry my fren, I will keep you in my prayers...I remember reading in the Bible long ago, that if one spouse is a Christian and one is not, the Marriage is Holy. Just doing a quick search I found this.... 1 Corinthians 7:14 For the unbelieving husband has been sanctified through his wife, and the unbelieving wife has been sanctified through her believing husband. Otherwise, your children would be unclean, but as it is, they are holy.
"Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends"
Intention is everything. You've already done that for her...
I will say this. Nothing is over until God says so. Death was the first lie of the cabal. Christ overcame death and outright said He overcame the world
You need to find that mustard seed and will it to be. I can't guarantee it but you have to believe otherwise who else will?
Regardless of what happens..the new Kingdom is near and I don't think you have to worry about where she'll be based on your love for her
So sorry for your health encounters with your loved one. It is hard to help those who don’t see or understand the need for help. I pray that God understands the demons that have gotten a hold of her and takes her under his protection. God is merciful and never gives us more to face than we can possibly endure. I wish you and your family peace.
Aw that’s hard. Prayers up for you and your family.
I am so sorry to hear this, Fren. Make sure she is at peace spiritually, and pray for her. Hepatic failure is a terrible way to go. 😥
Prayers to you and your family fren. I am truly sorry your going thru this. Please reach out if we can do anything for you. You are always welcome to dm me and I will listen, pray with you or whatever. 🩷
Thanks fren
Of course
Very sorry about your family situation. Prayers for all of you.
You needn't apologize. It's good to spend time with family, time with family is generally better than time online.
Condolences for how your wife is suffering, and you suffering for her. 🙏 Prayers for you, her, and the whole family.
God bless friend.
Prayers on the way fren.
Death is a new beginning. Your sorrow will heal. Just look towards the future and how God can bring comfort to you. Dying sux!
Take comfort in the knowledge that you will be together again. This life ends but your soul is eternal.
The only way to the Father is thru the Son,May God be with you both .
How much was she drinking? I've been downing about a liter of 40% vodka for per week for a while now and I didn't think it's that much.
SHE could easily drink a case of Coors light a night, but she had gotten to where she was drinking fireball whiskey
Prayers for you and your family.
Praying for your wife, you and your family.
Will pray for you both. It's never too late to ask God for forgiveness. Stay strong and don't forget to take care of yourself too. Caretakers tend to forget about themselves
I am very sorry to hear this. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your wife.
Religious/spiritual epiphanies are real, sublime and transformative. The two experiences I have been fortunate enough to undergo of this nature were both precipitated by break ups of long term and cherished partners. This is the only consolation I can offer you.
That in our times of most suffering we are somehow not only closer to God but also, afforded an opportunity to experience a massive expansion of consciousness. The experience can fill you with so much love that feelings of separation, loss, grief can be transmuted into joy, gratitude and grace living within.
I pray you are afforded the grace that instantly heals all pain in your worst moment and that it stays with you.
