Hey guys... my sisters and brothers.

I am trying to move my parents close to me. I found the perfect house. Dad is not wanting to move - he is stubborn.

However, Dad has has 2 strokes, and Mom has Parkinson's.

I have to drive from GA to AL to take Mom to her doctors' appointments. When I get there, her doctors are at least another hour to 1 1/2 hours away.

My siblings have bailed on me. I have no one to help.

I am overwhelmed and heavy laden. Heavy laden is exactly right. Please pray for us.

Every sibling of mine stays stoned or high.

Their names are Dennis, Debby , and Susan. I usually do not type names but this is serious and my family needs your prayers so badly.

Thank you my buddies and friends - true brothers and sisters.



Father God, remember what Your Word says, and make Your Word come alive in my family and in my world. Bless me today and tomorrow and all the tomorrows to come while I still have my parents with me. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.

From the end of the earth I will cry to You, When my heart is overwhelmed; Lead me to the rock that is higher than I. Psalm 61:2

When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, Then You knew my path. In the way in which I walk They have secretly set a snare for me. Psalm 142:6

Have you not known? Have you not heard? The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He does not faint or grow weary; his understanding is unsearchable. Isaiah 40:28

But they who wait for the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint. Isaiah 40:31

I wish I could pray for you right now but my my lips won't open when it comes to prayer at the moment..I myself have just asked for some prayer but I do hope that things will sort them selves out for you soon and get a little easier. It is hard when you love people and only wish the best for them and they seem to just dig their heels in and not let you help or relieve a situation... You also need to look after yourself and not burn yourself out entirely with worry n such otherwise you will be of no use to anyone.... I know a mother will a always worry about her children..and hopefully yours will realise that they don't need whatever it is they are using as a crutch, sometime soon..Take care and God bless you! and ps..Thank you for all those quotes at bottom of your page.. I need to see those and remind myself that I don't need to do it alone.. smiles...

I will be praying for you, your parents, debbie, dennis and susan. I don't know much, but i do know you are are right to pray about this situation. God wants your burdens and heartache so that he may sustain you and give you peace (psalm 55:22, phi 4:4-7). I read something by an anonymous poet today... He who holds the depths of the ocean can surely bear our burdens and the one who powerfully created the universe can meet our needs. God bless you, you're parents are lucky to have you.

Wow, just did the same thing but they don't like their new place and they are debating on weather they will even sell their house! Thank God my two sisters have been a big help. May the Lord give your brothers and sisters the grace to chip in and help out.

Lord, I pray You will work in the hearts of Dennis, Debby, and Susan to wake up to the responsibility of caring for their parents. Thank You that Singpeace is a good example of Christ's love to her parents. I pray You would give rest to Singpeace. In Christ's Name, Amen.

bless yer heart, praying that God intervenes as only He can and moooooves on your behalf. In the meantime, praying that in these seemingly impossible, stressful circumstances that HE ministers to you and that His peace is yours through all of it, and that you place your loved ones in HIS hands as you follow His promptings in all of it. Father may it be so, in Jesus name, amen. (((hug)))

Bless you song for trying to take care of your
Folks. Is like you to remember there are
Resources that can help lighten the load
A little. There are meals on wheels. Many
Places have bus/taxi service for seniors.
Also there are home health agency
thru health dept or hospital that could
Help with housekeeping, personal care,
When you are out of time. There is also restbit
Care if needed.
Also modern technology can help. The new
Generation medical alert will go off automatically,
In case your folks fall down and knocked out
It will call. Also new pill suspenders that if your folks
Don't take the pill out, it will call or email you.
Also there is a device now that works on elect
Oven, that if things get too hot it will turn off
Preventing a fire if someone turns on the stove
And goes off and forget it.

I'll remember you in my prayers
