Please pray......

Dear friends, I am asking for your prayers. My darling husband John, my One True Love was seriously injured at work this morning. I got a call from the hospital at 6.30am to say that he had been in an accident and that I needed to come right away. John is an Engineer, and was working with some machinery this morning when one the tools he was using kicked back and smashed into his face. He has had to have 6 front teeth removed and part of his jaw bone. He will need many more trips to a Dental Surgeon to repair the damage. At the moment he is home and resting, but in a lot of pain. We need to wait until the swelling and infection have gone down until we can see about having bone and dental work done. I know there are some awesome prayer warriors out there in blogland, so I'm asking that if you feel inclined, could you please remember John in your prayers. He's in for a long and painful recovery, so your prayers would be very much appreciated. I'm not sure when I'll be around to visit, things are crazy here right now, but I wanted to get this prayer request out there because I hate to see him in agony like this. Thank you ladies ......sadly, Amanda.

Keeping John in my prayers, Amanda. And you too!

One of our young electrical Linemen, who worked with J, was working on lines, way out in the country, with his twin brother, one day a few years ago. A large cable snapped and hit him squarely in the face. His injuries were very similar to John's. Mark has made a complete recovery. Hoping John is recovered to full health soon!

Dear Amanda,

I just read about your news and want you to know that I just prayed for him and will continue to pray for him. That is so hard to get a phone call like that and see our hubbys hurt. May God give him a quick recovery and give all of you a sense of peace and comfort.

Bless you honey.
