46919My prayers go out to you and your family. The bible speaks that the love of many will "wax cold" and it is. Some people are so cold and cruel in this world. I am also reminded that "whatsoever a man sow that shall he also reap". Those involved will get there just reward. I pray you and your family much strength. Much hugs sent your way *2U
63110Update on my daughters dad(my x-husband) He passed away this morning at 10:55. The attack by these barbarians was so brutal that he died of the injuries sustained. Michell, my youngest is in such a state cause she was 5 min too late. Thanks to every Cutie who posted a message for me.

Words seem inadequate to express the sadness felt on your ex-husbands death. Thoughts and prayers are with you and your daughter.
18960Marthie have sent you a email. Hope your daughters father is starting to improve
114488I am so sorry to hear about this.Mozambique is not as bad as SA but during Xmas things get a little bad. Ithing this is the only negative of living in Africa.Take care.
5753Marthie, I've just come on to personals, (it's been a few days for me)... I'm shocked to see this news! This past Sunday we had missionaries from SA home on furlough raising money to return. He was informing us about the attacks that have been going on there. And while he was telling us this, your daughter and her father were victims of such attacks. I'm glad they both were able to get to hospital when they were found. I'm really without words, to think people are such beast, but God requires us to pray for those that don't know Him. My prayer is that your family will draw strength from God to overcome the devastation that has fallen upon them. I KNOW He is able to do this, if we let Him... Will keep you all in prayer. Hugs, Terre

Thank you so much Terre. And it is ever increasing. All of these attacks have ripple effects
36693I'm so sorry. How scary this must be for your. My prayers are with you.
10494how you all holding up - hugs and prayers and some flowers for you
6339Marthie, Our prayers are with your daughter and her father! It is sad that it had to happen to them, when it should never have occured! It is sad that there is bad people out there!
9141Marthie I don't know what to say, it must be so frightening to live like that, I had a bad experience many years ago with a home intrusion, but fortunately it is not so common place in Australia, My prayers are with you and your family.

19430Just an update - my duaghter's father is on life support. Terrible to see anyone connected to so many machines and fighting for his life. And the culprits are still walking free.
18960Marthie I am so sorry to hear of this. Thank goodness your daughter is all right. I hope her father is going to be OK. We certainly live in terrible times here in SA. Love Sarah.

Thanks Sarah. Thats the main reason that I dont want to live in Gauteng although the crime in CT is catching up at a fast pace
253107Hi Marthie,
I am so so sorry to hear this. It is just awful. I hope that they are both doing much better. I will be praying for all of you. Stay safe!
12821This is so sad! It is an awful way to have to live! I do hope both recover and will not give into fear for the rest of time. My prayers are with all of you! Were they looking for something of value are just doing it to scare and/or harm others? This is an awful way to have to live , being afraid of what is going to happen next. I do hope that they can find some safe way to protect theirselves. Where do they live or is this going on all around you? You be very careful and keep yourself safe! Hugs, Linda

Thank you Linda. Ag it happens all over because at the moment in time our law is down the drains. Crime is VERY HIGH
24961So sorry to read your post Marthie. These people need our prayers - they obviously have not had the upbringing that most of us have. I am so thankful that your daughter is alive and will pray for a complete return to "normality" whatever that is. I also hope her father can heal too. It's the emotional scars that stay with us longer, isn't it?
I do hope SA can change this sort of "living" it's just not acceptable. May God be with you all and take away the hurt and pain - love and blessings Chris

Thank you so much Chris. Just look at the rest of Africa. I dont see any hope
234256Oh my gosh, I am so sorry to hear about this. I hope they are both doing better. I can't imagine how everyone must be feeling, my heart goes out to you all!

85867How dreadful. Once upon a time one just heard about animals going on a rampage in places like SA, now it seems the people are way worse :( Drugs or alcohol seem to mostly be the 'excuse' for most of it. It doesn't sound like PNG is much fun to live in, either (from the news). What a relief it will be for you to have a break away. May both of them recover well.
23163Wow i am so shocked to read all this( i don't come here often)were do you guys live??I am so glad in my bush we have nothing like this.What is this old world comming to??& i thought Terrible Santas were bad enough in BBC.Wow what next .I to will add my prayers to the others Carolyn
360438Marthie, I was so sorry to hear this today. Hugs and Love Yvonne
132773Marthie,
I am SO sorry to hear about the 2nd attack and will keep your family in my prayers.
Paul was attacked 3 weeks ago and was lucky to be alive - 17 stitches in his head and 2 in his arm and multiple bruises. All that will heal - its the emotional scars we have to heal.
BUT I REFUSE TO GIVE THIS MUGGER ANY MORE POWER - He has made me realise how precious life is and I am going to THANK him everyday for that and I hope it burns him!
Keep your chin up, Birdie!
LOL

6309This is heartbreaking news.....I can't imagine hearing that one of my daughters was beaten and robbed, I know this was devestating for you as well as your daughter....I will pray for you, your daugther and her dad...Gods blessings to each of you.....Janet
8647I am sorry your daughter and her father were hurt. I pray they will recover in everyway from such a terrible thing.
Hugs, Judy
10530Marthie, I'm so sorry to hear this. I pray that they will recover both physically and mentally from this and are safe and feel comforted very soon. Our world is sometimes a terrible place.
158559I'm so sorry your daughter and her father were so brutally attacked. You must be worried sick. I hope they'll both recover!
145196I am so sorry to hear bout such a horrible experience. I pray that everyone recovers from it fast.
109762That is something horrible that we can not imagine happening to any, but believe me, it is happening all over. But, to be in your own place and have this happen is very frustrating. We just hope that your daughter will heal, and be able to get over the intrusion, and that her dad will soon heal also. You are right, the attacks should not have happened, but hopefully the attackers will be caught and prosecuted.
44813Oh what a horrible situation. I am praying for a speedy recovery for both of them. It is certainly a sick society in todays world. You are so right, something like these attacks should never have happened to start with. My prayers are with you and your family. Hugs, Mary
33871Oh my dear marthie, how sad to have these devestating things happening in your life. It seems the entire world is on a rampage. I'm glad they survived but I know there will be scars for a lifetime. Prayers for you & yours.
145789so sorry this happened, that must be awful. hope they both recover soon and they will be able to trust people again.prayers for them!
740430Sorry to hear your news, it is so sad that people can do this to others....I hope they both recover quickly.. Hugs Sally
24342Marthie can you let me know suitable dates so we can arrange to meet. You have given me your email BUT I cannot get it to work :(
Take care
114488Just awful to have to live in fear. My heart is in pain for your family to have had this done to them. Will pray for their recovery and the capture of those that harmed them.
89895Oh my dear Marthie. This sounds so horrible. You are in my prayers sweet heart. Do take care and a huge hug.
Cindy B.
11473I am so sorry. This is an awful way to have to live. You and your family have my prayers.
168959Marthie I am very sorry to hear your news, I will be thinking positive thoughts for all of you

Thank you. Thats why I am looking so forward to my trip to the UK. Just to get away from all the negative things here in SA
114488I am so Sorry to hear of this and pray that DD,s dad recovers.
We have had our family members also traumatized by such senseless attacks.
Things will never be the same for all,and we are "lucky".
Sending Prayers for you, your Daughter and Her Dad.
From Bev
7875So sorry to hear this. Terrible to think that your daughter was "lucky", a frightening concept. I hope her father recovers, and that she is not too traumatized by these events.
Thinking of you all, Bev.
2594Marthie, I am so sorry to hear this - how awful for your daughter and her father. I will be praying for them both and for acceptance of God's will for their attacker's. I fear for each of you - being so close to those that would rather live this way - than to love one another. It is times like these that I just wonder what the world is coming to. *4U
