ashleylovesceline Posted March 1, 2011 at 06:33 AM Posted March 1, 2011 at 06:33 AM I don't think there's a thread for this yet, but there should be. No matter what religion we are, or how religious we are - we all have our moments of feeling helpless. Right now, I am feeling helpless as a mama to my nearly 17 year old cat Biff. He has arthritis among other elderly problems. He's doing well for the most part, but I know his health is deteriorating. I just lost my grandma and uncle to cancer in September of last year, while I‘m also having health problems myself. So, the prospect of losing my beloved Biff, whom I've had since I was 8 years old is an impossible thought. So, I am requesting positive thoughts, prayers, and love for my sweet Biff to be healthy and happy for however long he has left on this Earth. And prayers for his mama that she will be strong and make all of the right decisions. Thank you. Quote
Jacqui Posted March 1, 2011 at 10:34 AM Posted March 1, 2011 at 10:34 AM This thread is such a nice idea, Ashley You know I'm already praying for you and Biff, and I'm here if you need to talk. I truly believe that God cares about animals- they're his creatures just like we are! I've been in the position you're in a few times, and I see people go through it all the time, doing what I do... it's never easy. But I'm sure you'll find the strength to do what's best for him, whatever that may be Quote
Samstertje Posted March 1, 2011 at 12:59 PM Posted March 1, 2011 at 12:59 PM Will be praying!!Might even post things along the way! Great initiative Quote http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll5/Samstertje1985/CDFban3.jpg
celinedream Posted March 1, 2011 at 10:36 PM Posted March 1, 2011 at 10:36 PM Great topic Regarding Biff, i'm with you Ashley my dog has been with me 16 years. He has arthritis problems and my mom wants to put him to sleep. It's a very tough decision, and I am not brave enough to take it. But on the other hand I hate seeing my baby suffer like that You and Biff will be in my prayers Quote An angel was looking through,It was you,Yeah you...it'sYou are the REASON.
ashleylovesceline Posted March 2, 2011 at 11:12 PM Author Posted March 2, 2011 at 11:12 PM Thanks, everyone! Great topic Regarding Biff, i'm with you Ashley my dog has been with me 16 years. He has arthritis problems and my mom wants to put him to sleep. It's a very tough decision, and I am not brave enough to take it. But on the other hand I hate seeing my baby suffer like that You and Biff will be in my prayersAww, Jimena. I can so relate. No one knows your dog better than you do, and he will tell you when he's ready. My dog Chelsea had epilepsy, arthritis, etc. and her health deteriorated for a while - but she still had the will to live. Then one day she took a turn for the worse, and I knew what I had to do for her. I'd never felt right about putting animals down... because if we don't do it for humans, then maybe we shouldn't for pets. I didn't think I could ever be brave enough either. But in Chelsea's case, I knew it was right, and at most I was cutting her life short by a matter of hours - and she would have only suffered. It's the toughest decision... For arthrtitis, keeping warm when it's cold does work wonders. Biff has a lot of arthritis in his back hips - and napping in front of the fireplace really helps him a lot. You and your baby will be in my prayers, too. I'm here if you ever want to talk! Quote
ladylindsey Posted March 3, 2011 at 02:10 AM Posted March 3, 2011 at 02:10 AM Awww Ashley and Jimena- I'm thinking and praying for you as well. I wouldn't know what to do if I were in your shoes and had to make these decisions about my Roxy. I can't even imagine it! I think about it sometimes and it breaks my heart, and there's nothing wrong with her right now! haha I know what it's like to love our animals with all of our hearts though and I will keep you close to my heart in prayer Quote
ashleylovesceline Posted March 18, 2011 at 02:00 PM Author Posted March 18, 2011 at 02:00 PM Thanks, lovely! Biff update: He's doing well, but the cyst is still growing... I'm praying it stops. Quote

Samstertje Posted March 22, 2011 at 05:36 PM Posted March 22, 2011 at 05:36 PM Ok....I thought about this...and I am gonna post it.. Please pray for my friend Janike who is in a coma since yesterday..Her husband woke up and found her not breathing, so he did the whole CPR thing and called an ambulance...She is in the hospital right now.... this is the email our church sent out yesterday evening: We need your prayers Janike van Dijk, our dear sister, longtime Crossroads member, Coordinator of Worship, wife of Erik who serves on the Elder Board, mother of Hanna and Lydia, was rushed to the hospital this morning with respiratory failure. She is now stable, but in the hospital in Alkmaar where there are available beds in Intensive Care. Tests are being done, she is being heavily sedated, and her body temperature is being lowered for several days to de-stress her system. We won't have an accurate read on her medical condition until she is brought back to normal temperature in a few days. This could be potentially serious. We are trusting God for His protection and for His comfort and hope for Janike and her family and for all of us as we wait for further news. When we have more information, we will let you know. please stand with me/us in prayer! Quote http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll5/Samstertje1985/CDFban3.jpg
ddmone99 Posted March 23, 2011 at 12:47 AM Posted March 23, 2011 at 12:47 AM (edited) I pray that everything with Biff and Janike is okay. Edited March 23, 2011 at 12:49 AM by ddmone99 Quote You'll never see the courage i know. It's colours richness won't appear within your view. I'll never glow the way that you glow. Your presence dominates the judgements made on you. But as the scenery grows, I see in different lights. The shades and shadow undulate in my perception. My feelings swell and strech, I see from greater heights. I understand what I am still too proud to mention to you. You'll say you understand. But you don't understand. You'll say you'd never give up seeing eye to eye. But never is a promise and you can't afford to lie. You'll never touch the things that I hold. The skin of my emotions lies beneath my own. You'll never feel the heat of this soul. My fever burns me deeper than I've ever shown. But as the scenery grows, I see in different lights. The shades and shadows undulate in my perception. My feelings swell and strech, I see from greater heights. I realize what i am now too smart to mention to you. You'll say you understand. You'll never understand. I'll say I'll never wake up knowing how or why. I don't know what to believe in. You don't know who I am. You'll say I need appeasing when i start to cry. But never is a promise and I'll never need a lie. Never Is A Promise-Fiona Apple
