  • My uncle is dying.  If you pray, don’t pray that he lives, pray that God’s will be done. Pray for my Aunt, and his sisters and brothers and his children who will be left behind to mourn his death.  Pray for a peaceful passing.  Last night he was taken to hospice care.  His lungs are filling with fluid and his kidneys are shutting down.  He has congestive heart failure.  He’s tired and ready to go, we’re just not ready to let him go.  Isn’t that always the way with the ones we love.  I sit here over 6000 miles away wishing I could make it better, wishing I could be there, but all I can do is pray.  This is the sound of loneliness.  He is in God’s hands now and truly what safer place can you be?
