My sister Christine needs your prayers

She's been experiencing black floaters in her eye for some time now. Because she's a small business owner, she doesn't have health insurance due to the high cost.

One of Chris' customers was concerned about her. She brought an optometrist into Chris' consignment shop. He became quite alarmed and gave her the name of an opthamologist that he recommended. He insisted it was an emergency.
My sister found out that her retina is almost completely detached and because she didn't seek help earlier there's much scar tissue. So her future vision in this eye most probably will be impaired.

The surgery is quite costly but thankfully the Lion's Club has been so kind to her. After completing the forms, they agreed to pay for Christine's surgery. Praise the Lord! Chris is so grateful and hopes to arrange a fashion show to benefit the Lion's Club in return for their kindness.

Chris is asking for prayer. The surgery will be this Thursday, September 17. I assured her that I would write a post and ask my blogging friends to join in and pray for her too. Since it's vital for her to work and drive in the future, she's praying that her sight would not be permanently affected.

She also needs coverage for her consignment store called Clothes Line Two in Clearwater, Florida. Since she's the sole owner, she doesn't have employees. However, she has wonderful giving friends who have offered to work for her while she's recuperating at home. BTW, if you live in the Clearwater area of Florida maybe one day you can stop in and say hello to Christine. Tell her you're a friend of her sister Debbie of Heart Choices. She's very friendly and lovable. After all, she's my baby sister. Thank you in advance for your prayers.

Η αδελφή μου Christine έχει ανάγκη από την προσευχή σας.

Αντιμετωπίζει ιατρικά προβλήματα στο μάτι της για αρκετό καιρό. Η αδελφή μου ανακάλυψε ότι αμφιβληστροειδής χιτώνας του ματιού της είναι σχεδόν ξεκολλημένος. Έτσι, η όραση της σε αυτό το μάτι κατά πάσα πιθανότητα θα είναι μειωμένη.

Η χειρουργική επέμβαση είναι αρκετά δαπανηρή, αλλά ευτυχώς Λέσχη των Λάιονς έχει την καλοσύνη να τη βοηθήσει. Η χειρουργική επέμβαση θα γίνει αυτή την Πέμπτη, 17 του Σεπτεμβρίου. Με παρακάλεσε να ζητήσω τους φίλους μου να προσευχηθούν γι’ αυτή.

Αν ζείτε στην περιοχή Clearwater της Φλόριντα ίσως κάποια μέρα να σταματήσετε στο μαγαζί της και να μιλήσετε με την Κριστίν. Πείτε της ότι είσθε φίλοι με την αδελφής της Debbie. Είναι πολύ φιλική και αξιαγάπητη. Μα, αφού είναι η μικρή μου αδελφή. Σας ευχαριστώ εκ των προτέρων για τις προσευχές σας.

You are in our thoughts,

and we're all

hoping that you will be

enjoying better health again soon.

Hope this happy get-well note

Adds sunshine to your day-

And shows you that you're thought of

In a warm and special way!

Lots of thoughts and love form all your friends in Greece and Cyprus
