Abby T-shirts Photos, Pray for Me... Pray for Others... April 15, 2009

Abby T-shirts

We love seeing pictures of people wearing Abby's t-shirts, and we especially love seeing them outside somewhere giving us a feeling of the location or lifestyle you live (like on a farm, or at Disney, or by the lake, at the races, near a landmark, etc).

If you have pictures of anyone wearing Abby's t-shirt, will you send them to us so we can start a photo gallery of them? Even if you've sent them before, will you resend them so we don't miss anyone? If you have a t-shirt, would you take a picture wearing it? In the house is fine, but out somewhere visually interesting is even better.

I'll create a nice a photo gallery page of the pics as they come in. You folks are such a blessing to us!

The Britt Family: "Just wanted to share with you our Pray
for Abby t-shirts. We love them and we love wearing them...
We are still praying and please take a look at my three
boys in the picture. They Pray for Abby every single night
during prayer time with out fail..They truly do...."

Pray for Me... Pray for Others

Landis prays so sweetly for everyone in our entire family.


Pray for Me... Pray for Others is where we all get to pray for each other. It is obvious, and we don't pretend otherwise, that we cannot give full attention to every request and comment we receive. This feature on Wednesdays is a time we ask YOU for help praying for others, as they pray for you.

Pray for Me... Pray for Others is pretty simple:

  1. List a short prayer request for YOU, and a link for more detail if needed.

  2. Then submit a prayer request for someone else, or some other situation that you know about. Include a link for them if available. Be specific.

Be specific... provide a link for more information if available. I'm sure that other people will be VERY blessed to have you request prayer for them, and include a link to their blog so that those praying can visit them.

Questions? If you have suggestions or feedback to make this work better, don't hesitate to email me: brent@brentriggs.com

Our Requests:

Please pray for Abby to continue to improve and get stronger. Pray that we will quickly get to a point where we can take out her G-tube.

Pray for these folks:

Please pray for Brent's Dad who continues to have problems with blood clots and internal bleeding from several complications. He is a very active person, and months of dealing with medical complications has kept him indoors and it really is sapping his spirit.

Pray for Me... Pray for Others - Instructions:

  1. Use the form below to enter your prayer requests. You must enter an "identity", and put something in at least one of the "pray for me" or "pray for others" in order to be included (links to blogs are not required).
  2. If you link to YOUR blog, please include the following HTML in a post on your blog so that we can create a linked network of prayers (your link will allow others to find us, and be able to participate; make sure you are in HTML mode when pasting this code).

  3. Put out an email or post on your blog and encourage everyone you know to come and join us in prayer.
  4. Look over the list and pray as God leads. Come back and visit the list two or three times today as it will grow all day long.

Remember... if you don't take the time to pray for others, then on what basis can you really expect God to lead others to pray for you? I created this with "community" in mind - pray for you, pray for me, pray for others - so that we are both giving and receiving as a community which is far more spiritually productive than simply wanting everyone to pray on our behalf.

Truth is, many people do not have a community they can ask for prayer. We hope to become that community for them.









Let me know if you have suggestions or questions about Pray for Me... Pray for Others. If this is a blessing to you, please leave a comment and let us all know.

I never really SAW Abby's countdown till today and it just broke my heart......715 days seems like so much for her to endure.... But in the longrun, 715 days in nothing compared to a life long time of happiness!!

God Bless!!
