Three prayer requests

Received this evening from Scott.

Hello friends,

Three requests here, if I may burden you. Each is a bit unusual and together they may sound bizarre, but they are needs nonetheless.

The first is for an elderly lady named Jewel who has decided to stop dialysis. She has fought and overcome lots of health issues but is tired of fighting and ready to let go. Please intercede for Jewel and her family, most of whom are not believers, as far as I know. This will be especially hard for one son, Jim, who has shouldered the burden of her care. Also I could use some divine support as her son asked me to conduct her service, but that has not been decided for sure. Jewel is a believer, though I'm not sure how firm her faith is. I will speak to her about that. 

The second request is for peace in Tanya's family, particularly between Tanya and her mom. A number of issues in the time since Tanya's father died have created a heavy strain on Tanya's relationship with her mother. Another sibling is feeling some of the same strain. 

The third may seem trivial but it has bearing on the second request. Tanya's dad "adopted" a stray dog before he died and we've been praying for the best home possible for him. He needs to be in the country where he can run and play. I won't bore you with the details but it would be a blessing to find a family who would love and welcome this energetic fellow. 

Thanks for your time and prayers. May our Lord bless you today with a strong sense of His presence in your life. 

E.W./Scott Paulette
