The Treasure Hunt

Saturday March 9, 2013 11:00 am

First I would just like to say that I know sometimes I write or say something and I just don't convey what it is I am actually wanting to say... and because of that I can be misunderstood. I think it is because, like everyone else I have so many competing thoughts in my head that as I am writing I probably think I have expressed myself better or more fully than I really have?

So for those I love and who also care about me... and for the select few that I don't ever mind being an “open book” as far as my thoughts and my heart, if I ever say anything or write something that causes you to doubt me? Please, just overlook that in me because it was certainly unintentional on my part.

About an hour ago I had Virgil on a long morning walk. Apparently it was too long for him and with his weakened heart there were two different places I had to pick him up in my arms and carry him so we could get back home. I lay on the bed with him and let him sleep in my arms for about 30 minutes until he had regained his strength and he awoke and got down off the bed by himself. I have a new prayer request for any one who cares about me and who would also pray for Virgil.

Would you please pray for both of us that the Lord might allow him to just go to sleep peacefully and not awake? Please. If I have to I will take him to Benny's but I don't want to be the one who has to do this if I can be spared having to request that Virgil, who has been so close to me for the last 12 years, be put to sleep. I will do this before I allow him to suffer much more physically... but I pray the Good Lord would just not force me to have to do this.
