Heavenly Father, thank You for the many positive and encouraging reports awaiting my return to this thread; thank You for taltos' discharge and the progress in recovery which led to this point, I ask Your mercy to continue to wrap him in Your love, fill him with Your Holy Spirit, heal him and return him to his family and friends to be the man You have prepared him to be in the footsteps of Your Son, Jesus Christ; thank You for Babalu's progress and the return of his voice, thank You for the caregivers for Babs and taltos, thank You for the family and friends who continue to work for his recovery with their support and love, I ask Your mercy to enfold him in Your love, fill him with Your healing and teaching Holy Spirit, speed his recovery and bring him home in resumed health to cherish his family and friends as You would have each of us cherish ours; thank You for Your blessing of patriotswin4me, returning him to us with adventure tales rather than further health woes, I ask Your mercy continue to work in his life, filling and surrounding him with Your Holy Spirit to strengthen him in his love for You and his mission in Christ as a witness to Your love; thank You for the many people in this forum who have bonded together in friendship which extends beyond the simple love of football and reaches into our daily lives with support and genuine affection, may we all be sustained in Your Word, filled with Your Holy Spirit for guidance and endurance in life, may we all become Your children through Your great gift of love, Christ Jesus, in whose Name I pray. Amen.
