Prayers for my son valued
 

my son and other members of the college & career group from our church have left to drive up to Atlanta GA where they will be helping with Operation Christmas Child till saturday

there is very bad weather stretched from florida to georgia and they wont get there till around 1-2am. Please pray for the group leader to be alert and careful driving the van
and for their safe journey and stay in atlanta.

also that my son's health will stay good on the trip. this is the son who has tourette & crohn's and he maintains a very careful diet here but wont be able to be as diligent on this trip:o

thanks:grouphug:

thanks for praying for him and the rest of the team,

I will be praying.

I will also be praying dear friend. :hug:

The weather here has calmed down quite a bit from what it was earlier. I think they're just expecting rain tonight and tomorrow.....no more storms. All the tornado watches and warnings have expired.

Where will they be staying? I'm northeast of Atlanta by about 50 miles.

They're all in my prayers for a safe trip up here and then back home. :)

Thanks Kelly :hug: that is reassuring to know the weather up there has begun to calm. the stormfront is still on it's way to us so they will likely encounter some along the way

they are staying near the airport as that is where the Op Christmas Child warehouse is. they left around 5.30pm

we had 85 degr here today and very very muggy so we are likely in for some bumpy weather....plus my garage door decided to jam :eek: in the 3/4 closed position and I cannot get it to budge and the repair guy dint show. hoping my friends up the road get my message and come help us close it...he is a real handyman person and may find a way just to get it closed for me till repairman shows

Keeping your son and the rest of the group in my prayers, Chemar.

:hug:I'll keep them in my prayers...

They are in my thoughts and prayers.:hug:

Thinking of you and your son Chemar. :hug:
Please let us know when he arrives safely.

thanks so much for the prayers. they arrived safely around 1.15am (he thankfully called me as I had requested ...he may be 19yo but he will always be my baby :o I couldnt sleep till I heard from him )

they will be returning saturday so continued prayers valued for their stay up there and the return journey

thanks:grouphug:

I will be praying that they all get there safe and sound and that your son will have good health.

I have a nephew who has had crohn's since he was 10 he is now 21 so i know the difficulty that they may have.


Sending prayers your way.
Cindy

Dear Chemar....those prayers are on their way up!!:hug:

It doesn't matter how old our kids are they will always be our babies. Now a days our son (31) and daughter (33) are use to me calling them my baby boy/girl.

Keep us update Chemar

Sorry I missed this Chemar, sending up prayers

((Chemar)) so sorry I missed this. Definitely sending prayers up for all. :hug:

Sorry I'm late! Prayers said. Blessings delivered to your son and his group as they blessed the lives of others. What a great thing to do!

Glad your baby made it home safe and sound. :hug:

They arrived home this evening and had a blessed time up there tho he said it was cold!!

thanks again for all the prayers :grouphug:
keep them lifted as the boxes now make their way to kids around the world :)

i just saw this... so glad things went smooth {{{{hugs}}}

Me too!!!

That's a wonderful thing you're all doing. I'm glad they're home safe and sound. I'm sure your son had a really great time away despite the weather.

:hug: to you. Have missed you.

:hug: back atcha Lara! I sure have missed you too and am just so glad to have you back:)

sending positive thoughts...
 

I will send some positive thoughts too.

I sure remember when my son drove ALONE across the country to visit friends in Guelph (? spelling) Canada, and then the next summer he drove to Boston. My heart was in my throat on those trips. A young man crossing the border with bottles of supplements? We even sent a letter with him, because we had heard the customs were detaining young men sometimes.
But it all worked out!

I hope your son has a good time!

Oh, I didn't get from the website where exactly the boxes were heading. That's nice to know. What kid wouldn't be thrilled to receive a shoebox full of goodies? Wish I had known about this sooner.
