Thanks for the insights, Bernie. It's hard to imagine Tom as anything but vibrant, fiesty and filled with vim and vigor.
Lord, I come to you knowing that your love is awesome and you forgive us for all that we do to disappoint you. We've seen your glorious miracles played out here over and over. We ask Lord, according to Your Will, that you reach out to Tom, Dina and their family in this time of need. You know these people and their heart. We ask your full healing blessings on Tom and his family.
Fill them with the peace of your Holy Spirit and lead his doctors to a successful heart valve replacement operation. Heal this man that he may truly witness to your power and glory, knowing that it is by Your strips that he is healed and returned to full vigor and health. Bring him back to his full strength that he might continue his good works here on earth. Bless those who stand by him and love him.
Bless Dina as she deals with the death of her mother. Provide for them each in their own special needs. We ask in Jesus' name. Amen.
