Prayers for Our Uncle Charles

Hey Everyone. . . all is well on the homefront with dad and mom. Dad is doing pretty well. He hasn't gotten out much this week, other than the shower & bathroom because he has a small sore spot on his "bum" that we are treating and watching closely. That makes it a little uncomfortable to stay in his chair for long period of time. But overall, he is doing well. The past week has been especially hard on dad emotionally because his brother - n - law, Charles Porterfield is very sick. Uncle Charles has cancer and its really taking a toll on his body. Dad is having a really difficult time knowing this - Uncle Charles came to dad & mom's anniversary party this summer, but dad hasn't seen him since. We ask all of our other family and friends to join with ours in praying for this very special man. He is such an awesome man and I pray that God will give him the strength he needs to fight this latest attack on his body. I pray that you give his family - Aunt Nora, Becky, Kelly, Doug & Mark the strength they need to get thru this very difficult time. We serve an awesome God and I know that he hears our prayers. We love you Uncle Charles!
