Elenor a dear friend wants to know love.
That may sound a bit odd, but she has gone through two marriages. One a divorce, but the other was through death. Both men, tried to kill her several times.
Elenor is an amazing woman. She nursed her last husband, who was a surgical nurse, through drug addiction and on into serious health issues where she had to give him total care. This was even though he had tried to kill her, cheated on her, and abused her verbaly and physically.
On the front lines of the abortion clinics - well Elenor was the one Catholic who broke through the Protestant lines - she is a stallwart out there. She will walk right up to a young girl and without wincing say something like - do you know you are really going to kill your baby. She can be just that point blank. She is of Spanish heritage, and has turned many women around from going for an abortion.
Also, she is a woman of amazing faith. Her great-grandaughter while in her mothers womb - was totally retarded and mal-formed, I don't know how else to say it. The doctors wanted the baby aborted.
Elenor told her daughter and grand-daugher no. To get her to a priest to be annointed and prayed for, then to get her to prayer meeting for prayer. We prayed here, all over B'ham prayer went up.
You see, the babies heart was full of holes. The diapharm was out of the body, allowing the intestines to be out, which through everything else out of place. Fingers were missing and toes. The baby was floating in it's own wastes. There was no hope. BUT ELENOR BELIEVED!
As the months went on, the pictures began to change while the baby was in the womb. When they saw the diaphram in place where it belonged, they could not understand  When she went for delivery, there were 27 doctors(seriously) ready for the baby to do whatever was needed.
You know what was wrong with her when she was born?
She was johndice!
The doctors said well there must have been something wrong with the machines and the x-rays
When President Bush was out in California the first time. This little one who is now 16, played the piano for him, a classic peice at that.
I tell you all of this, because this awesome woman of God, wants to know the love of God.
I know, I know, but folks, she is a living saint. She wants to understand and feel for once in her life the love of God.
So please pray!

| Father God, I pray that by your Holy Spirit you will open Elenor's heart to be exquistely aware of your unbounded love for her. Infuse her with a vision of how You see her - Your beloved child, whom You have imbued with Your own character, to love others selflessly as You do. Impart to her the certainty that she is worthy of love, and that she is a vessel of Your love, which is poured out to her without measure. May the remainder of her days here on earth be marked by that profound contentment that comes from knowing she is loved by You.

| This is indeed remarkable and a testimony to perseverence. It sounds like Elenor understands the fear of God which is a major step on the path to loving God and a having a desire to obey His commandments. May almighty God embrace Elenor and give to her the peace that surpasses all understanding.
