Sending love and prayers for the great creator to lift him and heal him soon.
Prayers up, tobacco down.
❤🙏❤🙏❤🙏❤
Creater, think of our friend who is ill, whom we now commend to Your compassionate regard.
Comfort him upon his sickbed, and ease his suffering. We beg for deliverance, and submit that no healing is too hard for the Creator, if it be thy will.
We therefore pray that You bless our friend with Your loving care, renew his strength, and heal what ails him. May the healing spirit come to his heart and help all healing begin.

It's World Elder Abuse Awareness Day
June 15, 2017
Today, events are being held all over the world to highlight the growing tragic issue of elder abuse. As many as 1 in 10 older Americans are abused or neglected each year. Older adults are contributing members of American society and their abuse or neglect diminishes all of us. Elder abuse can be prevented if everyone would treat older Americans with respect and care. Let us use today as a call-to-action to raise awareness about abuse, neglect, and exploitation of elders.
Be a part of WEAAD today by participating in an event near you or taking part in the "Finish this Sentence" social media campaign with this template and using #WEAAD
