Well gals, I am off to catch a flight to San Diego….my Dad has been in and out of the hospital this past week, so I am going to go see him. I would be ever so grateful if you would say a little prayer for him. His name is Armand. As I am sure all of you know, it’s a hard thing when someone you love is having a difficult time. Thankfully, we serve a mighty God who loves us lavishly, and He cares about everything that concerns us and He has a plan to bring about good. When we face hard things, I remind myself that God is in control. What a comfort.
“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” Jeremiah 29:11
Hugs and Blessings,
RuthAnn

I'm new to your blog & absolutely love it.
RuthAnn,
May our Lord hold you and your family in His loving hands during
these difficult times and always.

heavy for you and I will lift you and your family up in my prayers.
May God bless..

Praying that God will give you a safe journey and that He will strengthen not only your Dad, but you as well. Caring for our parents is a stressful time both physically and emotionally. Hope that he gets better soon.
Blessings to each member of your family.
You and your family will be in my prayers. I am so glad that you have the opportunity to go and be with your dad at this time. “Loves us lavishly” and most especially…what a great word for this morning. Take care…
I already said a prayer for your Dad and I will keep praying for him and your family!!!
Hugs~Kelly
I will certainly add your dear father to my prayer list and also safe travel to you.
Blessings

I will be praying for your dad as well as you and your time with him. Before I got to the end of your post, Jer. 29:11 was exactly the verse that came to my mind!! Having walked many roads like this very one, I can tell you God IS in control, all the time, every time and right on time……thank you for all you share here on your blog, you are very inspiring and a blessing to me.
Praying for safe travels and that you find peace and comfort in God’s love. I pray your dad recovers from his illness and you enjoy many more years together. I lost my dad and what I wouldn’t give just to see him one more time. God bless you and your family.
Prayers for your Family and your dad. Have a safe trip. May you have peace and comfort. Nicole TX

Dearest RuthAnn, I believe no matter how old one gets, in our hearts we will always feel like “Daddy’s little girl.” There is just something so heartwarming and tender about the relationship between Father and daughter. Praying for your dear Dad that the Lord will wrap his loving arms around him and bring him comfort and peace during this time of sickness. Praying for God’s blessings for your precious family.
Many prayers for you and your sweet daddy.
Have a safe trip!
Dear Ruthann,
I said a prayer for your dear Dad today. May he be returned to good health very soon. You and your sweet family are in my thoughts.
Hugs,

Prayers for you and your dad and family! xxx
Your family is in our prayers…have a safe trip.
I will pray for your Dad…my Dad was in and out of the hospital this past year, and he went home to be with the Lord this past May. It’s been some 4 months for my family and I. I will continue to keep you in prayer as well, knowing how hard it can be for you, too!
God IS always in control!!! :) How right you are! I hope you have a safe trip and my prayers are with your father!
Please know that all my thoughts are with you and your whole family. Be sure to take care of yourself and talk to each other including dad. I know that sounds funny but he is the same strong man as he was just a little while ago and you want to share all the good as well as the bad. All my best wishes.
Sandyj
You and your dad are in my prayers, Ruthann. Hope you have a safe trip and a warm visit.

My father just come home from the hospital and our miracle was that the cancer shown on the tests prior to surgery simply was no longer there! A bit was removed and that was it…no treatments needed! We had about 40 people I counted who were praying with me for my Dad and I felt surrounded by angels at the hospital.
Prayer is so very powerful, God bless you Ruth Ann and your Dad also,
Love,
Sunny Bower
My prayers are with you and your dad.

Ruth ann, I love reading your blog and seeing all your household decor. Did you make your plaid jumper that you are wearing with your blue jeans on your front porch. If so, would you mind sharing the pattern and what color it is. I thought you might have made it you are so creative. I pray that your dad is feeling better. Our God is a mighty God…Stand firm in your faith. Blessings, Sherry
Bless your heart…it is so hurtful when a dad or mom isn’t doing well. A piece of our heart just skips beating until all is well…then our heart is whole again.
My prayers to you!

You’re absolutly right-and we have to let him do His will and not force ours. Prayers for you and your family.
Sending prayers your way for your Dad to be feeling better. It is very hard when we have to take care of our loved ones, especially when we do not live as close to them as we would like. I pray that ministering angels fill in the gaps. Blessings to you!

Hi RuthAnn My name is Row. and I came to find your blog though another, and I am so happy I did,
you have such a warm blog, and i love the words and inspiration, it gave me the little push I needed yesterday when I was really did not feel like cleaning up, I woke up today and couldnt wait for my little coffee break so I could come on here and read some more.

theres a saying or I’ve heard it somewhere “surround yourself with good people” and it’s such a good feeling when you do.
I do hope your father Armand
