Caring for the Spiros

Welcome to the Spiro Family Blog. After talking about how to best care for John and Kathy and their family, a group of us have thought keeping this blog would be the easiest way for friends and family to keep up with their needs (prayer and practical). I will be updating the blog as needs arise as well as to inform everyone of present prayer requests that I hear from John or Kathy. Please feel free to leave comments and encouragement for John and Kathy in the comment section.

Prayer Requests:
  • that the insurance company would cover the cost of John's new power wheel chair
  • God's continue provision and insurance coverage through Kathy's job
  • wisdom and guidance about how to make their house more accessible for John
  • slow the progression of limited mobility for John
  • Kathy's work schedule is up for re-structuring - pray for a schedule that would best serve her family
  • pray for increased faith and grace as John and Kathy walk this road
Practical Needs:
  • Meals - Rita has offered to organize meals for their family. If you are available to serve them in this way, please click the link to the left.
  • Rides - Terry is organizing rides for Amanda. If this is an area you could help with at some point, please click on the link to the left.

  2. John you are on my mind and in my prayers constantly. Rest assured your situation is being broadcast to the heavens and also into cyberspace. I hope that this will become a place to log God's miracles in your life.
