Hi all,

I heard last night that our closest friend here in our church is in hospital 
following an accident, when he came off his bike.  He has broken his hip and 
his wife is not sure about his thigh.

This may not sound too drastic, but Steve apparently, is absolutely 
traumatised by the whole episode and, although the accident occurred on 
Thursday, he just hasn't even been able to let the nurses get him up out of 
bed.

Our church started house groups up again a few months ago and he is our 
leader.  Already our group has suffered a number of setbacks.

There sure are many things in my life right now which make not a bit of 
sense as my closest friends seem to be suffering very much and I'm unable to 
reach them.

I would certainly be glad of your prayers for Steve and also that someone, 
somewhere, somehow, will let me in on visiting him.  (They seem to think us 
blind folk don't need to go to see loved ones in hospital etc and crowd out 
the visiting times so that you feel quite unable to push in.)

Remember everyone, "The Lord is at hand", ever present, with us right now, 
so go on crying out to Him for all in your hearts and see what He does!
