The Wedding~~ Jason and Rachel

Matthew 19:6~~ Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.


Jason H. was wed to Rachel L. on Saturday, October 27. It was a lovely outdoor wedding on the Bay. Here is a picture of Jason and Rachel with the family. L-R: Joey (Wayne's and Rita's son), Wayne, and Rita (Nita's sister), Terry holding Sara-Grace (Beau's and Michelle's daughter), Bride Rachel, Annika (Jason's daughter), Groom Jason, Nita, Jaeden (Beau's and Michelle's son), Michelle (sister of the groom), Beau (Michelle's husband), and Bruce (Rita's son) with his wife and their two young children.

Prayer Request for Nita's Granddaughter, Annika

"Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us." Ps 62:8

This morning, my dear friend Nita shared a prayer request for her granddaughter, Annika. I asked Nita if I could post it on my blog knowing that those who visit here would be willing to pray for Annika. Here is Nita's request for her precious little one...

Annika will have a kidney arteriogram tomorrow morning at UAB. They will try to put a stint in the renal artery where it is narrow. If they can’t get the stint in they will try to balloon it. If neither of these are successful, they will probably schedule her for something more aggressive in the coming months—an auto transplant (removing her kidney, “splicing” the artery with either a cadaver or some sort of artificial, man-made artery replacement) or something else. Please pray for her safety and protection as they do the procedure and that they would be successful. The narrowing is in the bend where the artery branches off to the kidney. There is a significant danger of them puncturing that artery, which would be very serious.

Thank you for your faithful prayers.

Love,

Nita

PS—I am attaching a picture of Poppy, Annika, and Nanny made at a friends wedding a few weeks ago.

Then and Now...

If you look at the birthday pic on the right, you will see Nita is the girl on the far right. That pic was made 9 years ago on the occasion of our 25th wedding anniversary surprise party. Here is a recent picture of Nita with her husband Terry (couple on the left) with Bill and Darlene who are explained in the picture to follow. They are all best friends and beach bum together a couple of times per year.
