We have not...

because we ask not. That's what we're told in James 4:2.

So, bearing that in mind, I'm going to be very specific in asking for your prayers for my Mom.

She is not eating or drinking much at all. She especially needs protein at this time, but as I said, her intake is minimal. She has been home from the hospital for 15 days now and she has made little to no progress. She is still bedbound and is getting weaker rather than stronger. She does not seem motivated to want to "do the work" it will take to regain the level (or near to) of independence that she had prior to her hospitalization.

I have had a couple of "talks" with her over the last two days. I asked her if she was content to be in bed. No. I asked her if she wanted to resume the life she had before she got sick. Yes, definitely. I explained that if that is the case, it is up to her to get there. Other people (my Dad, the physical therapist, me) can only do but so much...I told her that it means doing things she may not want to do - eat, drink, participate in her therapy; that those are the things that will get her better.

She says she understands. I think she needs some Divine intervention and motivation. And that's where your prayers come in. Will you take this to the Throne with me? My Mom's name is Josie. I am grateful...
