Prayers for My Cousin
This vibrant, colorful painting is Dance of Life. My heart is very heavy about my cousin … prayers are still very much appreciated. I hope you will hang in there as a reader of this blog during this tough time. Life is so strong and alive and yet so fragile … love is so strong yet so sad when it looks someone looks like they may transition to the other side. Thank you for caring!! I promise I will write about other things … I just can’t today. Thank you for stopping by!

Blessing my dear friend, to you and yours.
Sorry to hear about the tragedy in your life. This piece is miraculous thought. God bless.
I must have missed something about your cousin. Sorry you are suffering so.
Do you believe in the power of prayer, Diane? It’s an honest question. I lost my son to cancer and no amount of praying could save him. Medical science was not far enough advanced to safe him, it was a s simple as that. Sometimes people leave us even when we aren’t prepared to let them go. It’s the tough part of life and I don’t know anything about the power of prayer.
On Facebook there was also a comment:
Christine Bennett said: Please keep us updated about your cousin. My best wishes and prayers are with you and your family.
Thank you, Jean, Jordan, Carole, Christine and Gossamer!
I do really believe in the power of prayer. I have been at the edge of death several times and when some people did some healing work on me, I came back from there. There were several times when the doctor told me that I had one hour before I needed to go into the hospital to see if things could turned around. These person did distant healing on me … and I managed to stay out those times.
I do think prayer is very powerful – I do think it has the power to help heal. It is not a sure thing that someone will not die – that is for sure!!! I think there is a lot unknown about life, death, healing and spirit. But the thing I feel sure that prayer can help … is take help all involved came from a healthy, more balanced place.
There are some distant family members who feel like their prayers did some amazing healing. Perhaps so … but I know for sure that those prayers were important for everyone involved.
I know it is very possible my cousin will die soon … I also believe that if there is time for a new alternative medicine to work on him, he may live. When we were there, we talked with him about a project that he has started and not finished.
I think the power of the spirit and mind is very powerful to INFLUENCE things … but NOT CONTROL them. That is where so many people get confused. I have delved deep into what this issue means to me … as I have had an illness for many decades … and especially early on, been blamed that if I just did X (mind, emotions, body, spirit, whatever), then I would be well … and if I didn’t, then I was choosing to be sick. That is something I have had to grapple with at a very deep level to come to peace with what I do and do not control and influence,
It certainly helps me to hear that others are sending prayers, healing, positive thoughts, whatever someone chooses, toward my cousin and me. AND I also TOTALLY RESPECT that you have come to terms with things in the way that works for you!!! Hugs, Diane
