Join me in prayer, please.

Last night before I went to bed, I did a little blog surfing and found a site that really grabbed my heart. The name of the blog is "The Macs". You can find it on my sidebar. I spent an hour or so reading old blogs from as far back as Christmas. I'll not share with you all I read but just let me say that this is a lovely young Christian family with a beautiful young daughter named Cora who looked to be about eight or nine months old. Earlier in January, Cora was diagnosed with cancer and there are daily postings of Cora's progress and prayer requests. I went to bed last night with this child and her parents on my mind and I prayed as fervently as I can that God would bring her healing - whatever kind of healing He chose. First thing this morning I came down to check on Cora and learned that Cora is now with Jesus. You can not believe how deeply I was affected by this child's death - and I really don't understand it myself. I have cried throughout the day for this precious little girl. The pictures of Cora seemed to speak to me and her eyes told her story. There is an old hymn I had never heard until about two weeks before my mother died called Safe In The Arms Of Jesus. I love that old hymn. Cora is safe in the arms of Jesus but her family needs the prayers of us all to hold them and comfort them as they learn to live without Cora. I hope you will visit Cora's mother's blog; the link is on my sidebar. More importantly, I hope you will pray with the many others who are praying for this family. It is all that can be done but there is no more powerful tool in the Christian's arsenal than prayer. And, let's all hug our children and grandchildren and each other --- often. Till later - God bless.
