Dear Lord; Happy Tuesday Father!<\/p>\n

A couple weeks ago Lord, I spoke with You at length about one of the children from Kay\u2019s Kamp<\/a> and how he was desperately in need of Your Presence.\u00a0 Well, as I know You\u2019re aware his physical condition has since declined, and he\u2019s not been doing well as of late.<\/p>\n

This evening, I read a new entry from his mother\u2019s journal at CaringBridge.org and it brought me to tears.\u00a0 It was posted on Mother\u2019s Day, and reading it I felt her frustration, and her pain, and her anguish at watching her son endure these trials.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been where she is\u2026 And my heart cries for her Lord.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I know that we don\u2019t have the \u201cBig Picture\u201d<\/em> Father, and that while on this Earth we never will.\u00a0 I know that all throughout our times of pain, and suffering, and grief that You\u2019re by our side, whether we see that at the time, or not.\u00a0 I know that You love us more than we can possibly comprehend Lord\u2026<\/p>\n

But my heart cries for her all the same.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

When Your plan for our family led us to these remarkable children Father, I knew I had been forever altered.\u00a0 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.\u00a0 My eyes and heart have been opened in ways that only You understand, but I have so far left to travel in Your Service.\u00a0 I know of Your Wonder and Infinite Love for us all\u2026<\/p>\n

And yet my heart cries for her all the same.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Heavenly Father, please bring Your Healing and Comfort to this little boy and his mother.\u00a0 They\u2019re tired Lord, and frightened, and in desperate need of Your Divine Presence.\u00a0 Whatever Your Plan is for them Father, please let them feel Your Loving Arms about them and know Your Peace.\u00a0 Amen.<\/p>\n

~Phather Phil<\/p>\n

P.S. The journal and information on this courageous little boy and his mother can be found at : http:\/\/www.caringbridge.org\/visit\/dorianh<\/a>.\u00a0 Please keep them in your prayers during this difficult time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
