Put your Faith Where Your Blog is...

OK believers, it is time to pray. As I sat here watching Kensley take a peaceful nap I received a call telling me that little Jake is being prep-ed for his heart transplant. I simply cried for joy and grief. This is a miracle and we need to pray for everything to go successfully through the surgery and through the long recovery process. Pray for strength for Jake's mom, and dad, and big sis. It is difficult to have any member of your family undergo surgery, but to give your 1 year old son over to the doctors must be especially difficult. Jake will have to take anti-rejection drugs for the rest of his life, but he has a chance at that life now. Pray for the doctors who will perform the surgery, may the great physician give them blessed knowledge and skill. Also, I ask you to pray for the donor family. I do not know who they are or under what circumstances this gift was given, but God does. Pray for their grief and generosity. I know it must be very hard. When I told my mother the news she said simply, "Life can be so hard." She is correct, but it is so beautiful too, and as believers we end our time on earth with Jesus leading us on to something even more beautiful. Praise God for the beauty of life on earth and in Heaven. Hugs, Tana
