I ask you all to pray for the family of Little Riley... Little Riley is no longer little... He's a grown man, hard working, married and he has 1 son... He is also a volunteer fireman... and he was injured last night at the scene of an accident... The news is bleak... the family has been told that the chances are slim to none... He has always been known as Little Riley in the family because his dad's name is Riley also... kind of like my grandson although he will soon be 14 is still T'Ben to me because his dad's name is Ben and my husband Woody (deceased) started it all by hanging T'Ben on the boy... Its an affectionate kind of feeling inside a family... the sharing of names to show the love and closeness within the family... Little Riley is my son in law Ben's cousin... son of Ben's Aunt Pamela and Uncle Riley... This family has had a lot of pain. My heart is breaking for them... Pamela's mom Ms Merci died just a few weeks ago... I just ask for you to pray for them... I copied this from today's forward from Joel and Victoria..."He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak” (Isaiah 40:29) I was moved by a topic in the I Am Thankful Group I belong to... Vteacher suggested we write about someone we admired....  Just thinking about this and reading the other members responses truly moves me...  In spite of the pain in our lives I realize that there are blessings in this world...  I really appreciate the groups that I have joined that are helping me be more positive...  <> With all that is bad in the world how lucky we are to have people we can look up to and to try to be more like...  Faith, love of family and friends...  so much to be thankful for...  We are blessed...    Hugs Elissa  Yall one more thing I'd like to give thanks for... If I ever figure out how to make the type bigger...  I have a hard time reading this little print Grrrrrrr... LOL
