I got this e-mail from Beth a couple of days ago.   Beth has been my youngest daughter, Cyndy's, friend since they were in kindergarten and they're both almost 37 now.  I want to share it with you all.

Good morning, Rita!!

I have a list of friends and family I would like added to your prayer list please!!!  I know and fully believe that God hears and heals!!!
1. My Aunt Donna--she was just released from the hospital, she has COPD and Pneumonia.  She has been too sick for too long, I pray for her strength and healing.
2. My Mom, she is suffering from "shakiness" that concerns me.  And you know, good ol trooper Ida,she doesn't seek medical care as she should because she's always "fine".  Money is A LOT of the reason she doesn't go, she's struggles finacially due to our lovely government and the wonderful "social security" they provide. I pray for her to "let go and let God", for financial peace of mind, and also, her strength.  (Even though Mom's probably the strongest person I know…)
3.  A friend, single mother of 2 girls, Kathy--she is 44 yrs old and very healthy.  A month or so ago, she had what she thought was the flu, unfortunately it is cancer.  She is undergoing major surgery today to determine what she's up against.  I pray for her full recovery and her daughters.
4.  My children: Kody, he is 14 1/2 has ADHD and has been diagnosed with tics recently, this is now starting to trigger ODD.  He is dealing with bouts of depression that are heart wrenching, he is on an emotional roller coaster and it breaks my heart to watch him deal with this, teenagers have ENOUGH to go through just being teenagers, then to throw a "nervous condition" in on top of it that other kids don't understand and make fun of.  I praise God, that the last week has been a great week, and I know that with each day he will continue to improve.  My daughter Kacy, she is beginning another year of competitive cheerleading, I pray for her health and strength.
5. My sister, Krissy.  I woke up with Krissy on my mind this morning, I pray everyday for the Lord to lead someone into her life, that will love her for her, and see the heart of gold she has.  I pray that whoever God brings to her, will understand and help Krissy with her girls.  Her daughter, Alexis has severe ADHD and behavioral disorders and needs special assistance and Jackie, the oldest, sometimes feels slighted.  Krissy has a full plate and I pray for her peace of mind, a job, and doctor's who can help with Alexis. Also, please say a special prayer for Krissy, she has a growth in her vocal cords that doctor's won't remove and she needs special medicine (of which she can't afford and her insurance won't cover).
6. My oldest brother, Johnny, he lost his job a month of so a go, the lovely world of corporate downsizing.  He's 50 and has to start all over again.  His youngest is getting married in November, so the concerns of that along with just trying to find a job is taking an emotional toll.
7. My other brothers, Joey, I pray for his health, he's been sick a lot lately and it scares me! Danny, just opened his own business. 
Rita, Thank you for being such an inspiration…! I pray the Lord continue to bless you too!!
Hugs!
Beth
