Countdown: Two Days to Go

Your continued prayers are appreciated.  Please pray for:

1. Travel Safety - Plato & Tim will be taking the bus to MI and will arrive on Friday to pack up the moving truck.  We will all return to MD on Sat. WITH my parents.  Plato will be driving a 16 foot moving truck - please pray for safety in driving this large vehicle over a long distance.

2. Packing - my parents have lived in this house for over 40 years, so there is a lot of stuff to go through.  I do not need to pack everything on this trip, but I do need to decide which items to pack and I will also need to somehow fit everything into our house.

3. Final Details - besides packing physical items, there are a lot of details to take care of like cancelling services, changing services, visiting the bank, etc.  Please pray for wisdom to take care of these items and to know how to handle it all.

4. Emotional Strength - I have found that is is emotionally draining watching my Dad in his state of memory loss; forgetting things that we had discussed and having him ask me about things several times.  It's not that it's frustrating to me, but rather sad.  It's hard to watch my Dad in his state of decline.  He was always able to take care of things and now he needs to be taken care of.

5. Adjustment - it will be an adjustment not only for my parents, but for our family to all live in the same house.  It will change my daily life in many ways.  I am hoping to take my parents to a senior center for exercise & socialization which will take time out of my schedule.  Please pray for me to be able to know how to manage it all.

6. My Parent's Salvation - most importantly, please pray for my parent's salvation, esp. before my Dad's memory declines further.

Thanks so much!
