We also pray for Lisa Beamer of the 90% Knitting podcast, specifically for her daughter Emma's struggle with Crohns Disease. We pray for Sheila of Knit1HeartToo podcast, specifically for her son's hearth challenges. We also pray for my Aunt Zila and her family as she nears the end of this life. And we prayed for those affected by the recent rash of tornados in the United States.
