Please Pray for my Father-in-Law

...
We could really use your prayers for Franklin, my father-in-law. As many of you know he has been in hospice care at the Tomah VA for about a year now. He went there with pneumonia and wasn't expected to live beyond a month before he passed. His spirits changed and he had will to live again for quite some time. He has pneumonia again now and I just spoke with his nurse. They don't expect him to make it out of this one and he will likely die. He appears to be at peace and is ready to go. To my knowledge, he is not saved. I pray he will come to know Jesus yet and surrender his life. I pray for peace and comfort right now, and as he passes. I pray for Audrey-my mother-in-law, who has been living on her own since he went there. they will be celebrating 49 years of marriage I believe this next month. She is 81 and needing more and more help. She has significant pain in her right arm keeping her from doing much of anything which is really depressing her. She is very much a doer. She is working with a doctor but to no sustained relief at this point. I pray for comfort from her physical pain, peace in her life all the way around and for her faith to remain strong in the Lord. She does believe in God and prays with him often.
As you know my husband is not saved either. I pray for him to see God's love through this and know he is there to comfort him. I pray for his salvation and trust in God. I know he will be hurting terribly and not feel like he can open up. I pray that God will allow him to grieve and share as he needs to with us, rather than keep it bottled up inside. And I pray for our children who will be very sad to see their very much loved grandpa leave us. Jonny and Reese will be most affected I believe, please keep them all in your prayers. I love our River family very much and appreciate you all keeping us in your prayers. I will keep everyone informed as I know.
God Bless,
Karrie
