Dear Lord; Happy Tuesday Father!
A couple weeks ago Lord, I spoke with You at length about one of the children from Kay’s Kamp and how he was desperately in need of Your Presence. Well, as I know You’re aware his physical condition has since declined, and he’s not been doing well as of late.
This evening, I read a new entry from his mother’s journal at CaringBridge.org and it brought me to tears. It was posted on Mother’s Day, and reading it I felt her frustration, and her pain, and her anguish at watching her son endure these trials.
I’ve been where she is… And my heart cries for her Lord.
I know that we don’t have the “Big Picture” Father, and that while on this Earth we never will. I know that all throughout our times of pain, and suffering, and grief that You’re by our side, whether we see that at the time, or not. I know that You love us more than we can possibly comprehend Lord…
But my heart cries for her all the same.
When Your plan for our family led us to these remarkable children Father, I knew I had been forever altered. I see things now that I could never have even begun to comprehend before, and yet I still feel like I have so much to learn. My eyes and heart have been opened in ways that only You understand, but I have so far left to travel in Your Service. I know of Your Wonder and Infinite Love for us all…
And yet my heart cries for her all the same.
Heavenly Father, please bring Your Healing and Comfort to this little boy and his mother. They’re tired Lord, and frightened, and in desperate need of Your Divine Presence. Whatever Your Plan is for them Father, please let them feel Your Loving Arms about them and know Your Peace. Amen.

Hi, I’m Phil Malmstrom, a.k.a. Phather Phil. I’m self-employed, father of two wonderful young men, an ordained minister who delights in spreading Jesus’ Message of Hope and Love, a science-fiction junkie, an aspiring photographer and above all that one of God’s Children who rejoices in His Blessings each day. 
I can’t imagine the paint and heartache this family is going through. I did read a little of her journal and it’s overwhelming. I pray that God continues to hold them in His loving Hands.
Thank you for your prayers Lisa. As you know, they matter!
Have a Blessed Day!

Praying for that family. I can’t imagine how heartwrenching that is for a mom on mothers day especially. Thanks for sharing this so we can help this family carry those burdens. Thanks for sharing this story.
Thank you so much for your prayers Kelli. 🙂
Have a Blessed Day!
I’m convinced that the suffering of our children is one of the greatest “griefs” we carry in our hearts. I will pray for this mother and her child. Going to visit their caringbridge site now.
