All About Pocket Knives

In the past I have asked for prayers for my brother's healing. We pray with faith knowing that God can do miracles. Often I have seen those miracles but there are times when God chooses what he deems best and not what we would prefer.

My brother Dan is a Christian and has been actively involved and working in his church for most of his adult life. He has a rare form of a blood cancer which is now in his brain. It's difficult to watch someone who was so smart struggle to find answers to simple questions.

Pray that Dan might finish well, and pray for his family.

Dale, prayers for your brother's comfort during difficult times, prayers for the family that each of you will finish well as this unfolds.

Dale I can't know how difficult this must be for Dan, you and the family and friends that know and love him. Because he knows Jesus as Lord and Savior there is that blessed assurance that he will be in his Heavenly home with Jesus when the time comes.

Because of his salvation he has finished well my friend and we will all sit down together with our Lord in Heaven one day.

Holy Father, in the name of Jesus we ask that Your will be done. Please grant Dan comfort and that the whole family will
feel Your love and grace. Father we ask for Your blessed mercy and that You will be glorified in all things. Amen.

Thank you Phillip and David.
Good bless you guys.

Hate to hear of your brother's situation. I know, all too well, the familial disruption cancer can be. Your brother, and his family, will be in my prayers. Praying for that miracle you were looking for, but remembering that is His will, not ours.

Thank you Bill.

Dale, I'll pray for Dan, his family including you as you all face this. It's hard. I've faced this twice with siblings, so I have a feel for your pain.____Dave

Prayers for Dan are underway, I’m sorry you are faced with another trial Dale, prayers for you continue.

So sorry to read this, Dale. Prayers for Dan's comfort and peace, prayers for you and your loved ones for strength and peace.

Praying for your brother and you and your family .

Thank you Tom, and everyone else.
I think we always face trials. If we have no trials, we have no growth. A weight lifter who wants to gain strength must challenge himself regularly with heavier and heavier weights. Without that regular challenge he does not increase his strength. As Christians, without challenges our faith is not strengthened. Without the stretching of our faith to meet each new challenge, our faith would not grow stronger.
Yes, these trials can be painful and may bring us heartaches and tears, but without them we would grow soft and lazy. Without the trials our faith becomes an intellectual exercise and not the glue from God that holds our lives together.

Prayers for your whole family.

Praying!

Prayers going out, Dale.

Dale I will be lifting all of you in prayer.

Sorry to read about this, Dale. I will be thinking about your brother, and praying for him as well.

Thank you all for your prayers! I called my sister-in-law yesterday and she said he is not doing well. He's not eating and he's not drinking. That is usually an indicator that the end is near. Thanks again for all your prayers.

My words may offer momentary comfort but soon fade away.
The words that come from God created the universe and all that there is.
Look to His words of love, peace and comfort.

I'm praying for you and the family Dale.

Dale, you, your brother, and all the family are in my prayers and will remain so.

I missed this somehow, will add your brother to our prayer list.

Thank you all for your prayers. Yesterday, my brother Dan went home to be with Jesus, our parents and our brother Paul. I was unable to be there with him because I am still in the hospital from a shoulder surgery. He passed peacefully yesterday morning after a peaceful night's sleep. He had lived in great pain for the last 20 years and even greater pain the last 2 years. He is finally out of pain and at peace in our Savior's arms. He is more alive now than all of us in this
world today.

Thank you all for your prayers which have been a great comfort to me. Please keep our family in your prayers. May God bless you all.

Dale,
Praying the Lord will comfort your family during this time.
Our comfort comes from the scriptures, those that tell us what happens when a believer is called home.

I’m sorry Dale, while it leaves a hole in your life and heart, I know you’ll find comfort knowing he’s pain-free and with The Lord. Prayers to you and everyone he touched, Godspeed.

A Blessing all be it a small one, but being able to go home to spend his final time in his own home with family.

Dale, sorry to hear of your loss. Praying you, and your family can find comfort in your faith. Will be praying for you all.
