    Oh thank you,, you guys. I should probably email this but here is a story my friend send me. The power of prayer is so strong and prayers DO work. Love to you all! God bless!

    >> GROCERY LIST
    Louise Redden, a poorly dressed lady with a look of
    defeat on her face, walked into a grocery store. She approached the owner of the store in a most humble manner and asked if he would let her charge a few groceries.

    She softly explained that her husband was very ill and
    unable to work, they had seven ch ildren and they needed food.

    John Longhouse, the grocer, scoffed at her and requested
    that she leave his store at once. Visualizing the family needs, she said: 'Please, sir! I will bring you the money just as soon as I can.'

    John told her he could not give her credit, since she
    did not have a charge account at his store.

    Standing beside the counter was a customer who overheard
    the conversation between the two. The customer walked forward and told the grocer that he would stand good for whatever she needed for her family.

    The grocer said in a very reluctant voice, 'Do you have
    a grocery list?'

    Louise replied, 'Yes sir.' 'O.K' he said, 'put your
    grocery list on the scales and whatever your grocery list weighs, I will give you that amount in groceries.'

    Louise, hesitated a moment with a bowed head, then she
    reached into her purse and took out a piece of paper and scribbled something on it. She then laid the piece of paper on the scale carefully with her head still bowed.
    The eyes of the grocer and the customer showed amazement
    when the scales went down and stayed down.
    The grocer, staring at the scales, turned slowly to the
    customer and said begrudgingly, 'I can't believe it.'
    The customer smiled and the grocer started putting the
    groceries on the other side of the scales. The scale did not balance so he continued to put more and more groceries on them until the scales would hold no more.

    The grocer stood there in utter disgust. Finally, he
    grabbed the piece of paper from the scales and looked at it with greater amazement.
    It was not a grocery list, it was a prayer, which said:
    'Dear Lord , you know my needs and I am leaving this in
    your hands.'

    The grocer gave her the groceries that he had gathered
    and stood in stunned silence.

    Louise thanked him and left the store.
    The other customer handed a fifty-dollar bill to the
    grocer and said; 'It was worth every penny of it . Only God Knows how much a prayer weighs'

    THE POWER OF PRAYER: When you read this, say a
    prayer. That's all you have to do.

    Just stop right now, and say a prayer of thanks for your
    own good fortune

    So dear hearts, trust God to heal the sick, provide food
    for the hungry, clothes and shelter for those that don't have as much we do.
    Amen & Amen

    Poor, guy, Started again last night like it did last week after his first chemo...hiccups started wracking his body at 3 this morning. We believe it is related to the Gemzar, since he had that 1st time last week, then again this week with another chemo med, Carboplatin. Last week they were constant all the way to Sunday evening. Right now he is sleeping without hiccups...he's exhausted. We're hoping to hear from the doc to see if there is something we can do to control them. I did a lot of online referencing and it seems persistent hiccups are common with some chemo meds and with people with bladder or kidney issues. Sad news is there seems to be not much info on what gets rid of them. Thanks again for your thoughts!
