Today I'd ask you to give prayer of help and relief for two couples I know well .
Eddie and Rose .
Eddie and Rose go to my church . They are both in their late eighty's . They are both suffering from dementia . Eddie was placed in a nursing home about three months ago . Unable to walk or think properly , Rose had taken care of him as long as she could at home . Rose is now living alone , I have personally talked to her at the nursing facility when the 'pandemic' first started . She didn't even remember who I was until after I started talking to her .
These are good people and strong in their belief of our Lord . I'll not go into detail over their various additional health problems . I worry for Rose the most , Eddie is at least monitored at the nursing home . Rose insists on living at home , they have one family member here that is helping her some . They have lived in the same house Eddie and his father built in the 1950's . That neighborhood has degraded into a bad place to live .
I worry for them both with little I can do to help with the pandemic going on . I ask you to pray for them .
Charlie and Betty .
Charlie and Betty also go to my church . Outgoing and a loving couple they have been very active in church and many charitable events . They are both around seventy years old . Betty is basically home bound now due to problems with her hips and legs , Charlie has barely been able to get around for some time with his back and serious migraine headaches . He has been the provider keeping them up .
I received word yesterday that Charlie is in the hospital , he has been having terrible stomach pain . I could go into greater detail about other medical and situational problems they have to go with it but I have said enough .
I ask you to pray for their situation .
As a side note I'll add that I feel helpless . Under normal conditions I and many others would be visiting or providing support . The pandemic has provided a barrier for any kind of giving help or providing intervention for situations like these . It's the first time for me not to be physically able to do anything . But we have prayer . Thank all those that are able to pray for these couples , there are many out there right now that are isolated .
