Comments: Dear Nancy, I will be praying for Ben and for you and your family. My heart goes out to you as I know how devastating it can be. We KNOW how we are SUPPOSED to feel, but it is sometimes easier said than done to not worry and remain calm and faithful. I can only tell you from years of my own devastation that I am a slow learner, but I am learning to trust Heavenly Father and look to him for love and support. He loves our boys and he will hear the prayers of loved ones. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Love, Sandy

Comments: Nancy and Clark, I hope things work out for you and Ben. It is very difficult to watch and experience all these things that life hands all of us. Be strong and pray. That is the most powerful thing we have here on earth to turn to. I will definitely keep all of you in my prayers. It isn't necessary for you to explain anything that's going on. All that is important is that everyone can help all of you with their thoughts and prayers. We never know what is around the corner; perhaps, things will take a turn for the better. Hope so. Have to go for now. Take care. Your Friend, Beth

Comments: Nancy, I was talking to David about Ben and he thought that it was a good idea for Ben to come and visit with him. I think that it would be good Nancy. David has really grown and matured and learned much, including how to rely on the Lord. If you ever want to talk before Ice Cream day, please call. If I am not here, I will call you back as soon as I can. It is funny, you see me as the strong one and I see you as the strong one :) You are doing the best thing that a Mother can do. You have asked your friends to fast and pray for Ben. In my book, that is the best help and gift that we can give to anyone. Love you, Sandy

Comments: Dear Nancy, When I received this message my heart was so sad for all of your family. These kids (young adults) don't realize what they are doing to everyone not just themselves. This was the second time in three days that I had heard the same story from a good teacher mother. There is no way to respond to the heartbreak that troubles like this cause. I am deeply saddened by your news. Please know that I will remember all of you. Take care of yourself. You have to go on - there is no other choice. When you feel that it is time to share - I am here in the box of plastic and wires. Your friend and cousin. Twila

Comments: Nancy, Ever since I got your email about Ben I can't stop thinking about him. This year at the reunion, he and I had really connected. If he is having some heavy issues, he might need as many family members as he can. I would love to offer him my support directly if I can. Could you please let him know that I am here for him and let him know how to get ahold of me. If there is anything I can do for you please let me know. I love you very much and hope everything turns out positively. Love, Angie

I can well sympathize with your plight- I put my father through hell for about the first 26 years of my life and I hope he lives long enough now that I can make reparations. God's blessings on you all in your time of need.

"Lord, right now I pray for Ben. I don't know Ben or anything about him or the situation but you do and I bring him before you. I ask Father that You intervene as only You can. We hold to the promise that "all things work for the good of those who love you," and we ask that you would make good come from whatever the situation may be. We pray this is the name of the only One who can do anything about this situation, the mighty name of Jesus - Amen!"

Some time ago, a few ladies met in a certain city to study the scriptures. While reading the third chapter of Malachi, they came upon a remarkable expression in the third verse: "And He shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver" (Malachi 3:3) One lady proposed to visit a silversmith, and report to them on what he said about the subject. She went accordingly, and without telling the object of her errand, begged the silversmith to tell her about the process of refining silver. After he had fully described it to her, she asked, "But Sir, do you sit while the work of refining is going on?" "Oh, yes madam," replied the silversmith. "I must sit with my eyes steadily fixed on the furnace, for if the time necessary for refining be exceeded in the slightest degree, the silver will be injured."

The lady at once saw the beauty, and comfort too, of the expression, "He shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver." God sees it needful to put His children into a furnace; these tests are what refine us, like the silver. His eye is steadily intent on the work of purifying, and His wisdom and love are both engaged in the best manner for us. Our trials do not come at random, and He will not let us be tested beyond what we can endure.

Before she left, the lady asked one final question, "When do you know the process is complete?" "Why, that is quite simple," replied the silversmith. "When I can see my own image in the silver, the refining process is finished."

The Twenty-dollar Bill A well known speaker started off his seminar by holding up a $20 bill. In the room of 200, he asked, "Who would like this $20 bill?" Hands started going up. He said, "I am going to give this $20 to one of you but first, let me do this." He proceeded to crumple the dollar bill up. He then asked, "Who still wants it?" Still the hands were up in the air. "Well," he replied, "What if I do this?" And he dropped it on the ground and started to grind it into the floor with his shoe. He picked it up, now crumpled and dirty. "Now who still wants it?" Still the hands went into the air.

"My friends, you have all learned a very valuable lesson. No matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not decrease in value. It was still worth $20." "Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled, and ground into the dirt by the decisions we make and the circumstances that come our way. We feel as though we are worthless." "But no matter what has happened or what will happen, you will never lose your value: dirty or clean, crumpled or finely creased, you are still priceless to those who love you." "The worth of our lives comes not in what we do or who we know, but by WHO WE ARE. You are special - Don't ever forget it. Count your blessings, not your problems."

I was so touched with the comforting words of Faith by drdan, Nancy and Clark and family are also in our prayers for Ben. Nancy is my relative through the Watson McIntyre branch. She came to my house this summer for research, what a lovely, wonderful lady. The Hymn, God will take care of you, in every way is so true. Thank you, drdan, for your knowledge, and the ability to express such strong Belief in reaching out to others of all faiths. Joining with you and all in the prayer He taught us to pray -----

Our Father;
which art in heaven,
hallowed be Thy name.
Thy kingdom come,
Thy will be done
in earth as it is in heaven.

Give us this day
our daily bread,
and forgive us our trespasses
as we for give those
who trespass against us.

And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil,
for Thine is the Kingdom and the power
and the glory for ever.
Amen

Comments: Announcment: We would appreciate it if our Jewish relatives remember Ben and pray for him this Sabbath begining this evening. We would appreciate it if our Seventh Day Adventist relatives remember Ben and pray for him at worship on Saturday. We would appreciate it f our other relatives spend Sunday in prayer for Ben and his family. We know very little about Ben's situation, but we do know it is one of the worst things that a parent could see his or her child experience. It's serious.

Comments: Almighty God, as each person involved in Ben's problem prepares to worship this weekend, we ask that you will speak to them. We ask that in all that they hear and do this sabbath that you will move them to show Ben all of the consideration, kindness and mercy that is possible. Whether in a synagogue, church of home, we ask that you will be guiding and preparing them for the next contact with Ben and that they will be ministers of your will. Amen
