See this little guy.
His name is Ace, and he is a very special little boy born with a special
heart. He was born with only half a
heart (at least that is how I understand it, I am sure his mom could give you
all the medical details) and that means his heart has to work twice as hard to
do even the easy stuff like move oxygen throughout his body. When he has any type of illness at all, his
little heart has to work over the top hard to help him fight infection and keep
his body functioning.
Right now, this sweet boy is in the hospital with an ear
infection, pneumonia, Rhinovirus and RSV! Would
you please take a few minutes to pray for healing for Ace’s little body and
strength for his heart?
But this is just the beginning of
the story. You see, sweet Ace has a
little brother, Zane, who was also born with a special heart. And although his heart condition is not as
critical as Ace’s, it is not beneficial for Zane to be sick either. Zane is at home but he is sick, too, with
vomiting and a fever.
Please pray for Zane’s little body
to be healed too and for him to stay out of the hospital.
And these sweet babies have a Dad
who is not only taking care of Zane while he is sick, but juggling a job and 4
more boys at home.
Pray for Stan as he manages 5 boys
at home who want to be with their mom, who are concerned about their brothers
and who have to keep the house running.
The oldest boy is 14. Pray for
understanding from his boss so that he doesn’t have to worry about his job
along with everything else.
And these 6 boys have a mom. She keeps all 6 of these boys going; she
teaches them at home; she runs several businesses from her home; she is the
ultimate mom taxi. And although she isn’t
perfect, she is supermom, an amazing woman, a true friend and my hero. And right now she is sitting in a hospital
room with her baby in her lap, watching helplessly as he fights for his
life. Knowing that another one of her
babies is sick at home and missing her husband and 4 healthy sons. Her laundry isn’t getting done, her kids aren’t
being feed or taught and she can’t do anything about it.
Please take a moment and pray for my
friend, Michelle. Pray for strength and
courage, hope and peace, wisdom and rest.
She is tired and she has a long battle to fight.
But most of all this family has a
Father. And He holds them in the palm of
His hand. And He hears the prayers of
His people. Thanks for taking time to
pray for my friends.
