A dear homeschooling mum in Australia (Helen) is having an operation tomorrow, she has had very poor health since the premature birth of her youngest child 6 years ago. Blood pressure problems and kidney troubles. They are doing exploritory surgery in the kidney and could possibly putting a stent in.

This dear lady is in our city by herself (her husband is also very unwell and is looking after the family) and so I can imagine it is very hard to be doing this alone.

She is such a faithful, prayerful lady..praying all will be well.

Oh Anne, I didn't know.
If you talk to Helen please tell her I will be offering up many, many prayers for her.
She is a faith filled and courageous lady and I love her very much.
Please send her my love
Chemai.

Sorry for taking so long to get back...life seems to be racing at present!

Helen had the operation Friday and nothing was found which was excellent news..but it does mean they need to keep testing/investigating for what is causing her problems.

Chemai I actually drove her back to Toowoomba on the Saturday morning and so we had a great time together on the drive up, though she was very tired and kidney were VERY sore. I passed on your greetings to her, we were just saying, these mums with so much suffering..there must be some great purpose for it all and my experience only the very special mums have so much asked of them!

Helen was so touched and grateful for so many prayers from the mums in the states, a big THANK YOU from the bottom of her heart!

Thanks Anne, so glad to hear that she is doing better.

We have had many a good time together too, I'm so glad that you were able to spend some lovely time together. She has been through so much I hope this may be it for a while. We will pray for some good health for them both for the months and hopefully years to come.

God Bless
love
C
