If anyone is out there...

I know we are down to but a few followers of our blog, but if you stumble upon us and are the praying type, I am not too proud to ask for prayers or good vibes or positive thoughts.  Times are challenging for the Madigans and while I know that is the case for so many, I am asking for prayers for us today.  John has been out of work for 8 months.  Áine's seizures returned on November 11th.  She missed a week of school because of the effects, but was able to return for the shortened week last week.  Such is life, I know, but there are bills, doctor visits, house payments, prescriptions, holidays, etc.  Just asking for prayers for a job for John.  Thank you for reading.

Be a lamp, or a lifeboat, or a ladder.
Help someone's soul heal.
Walk out of your house like a shepherd
