Day 380 Sad News Today

My heart is heavy and tears are falling on my keyboard.  Bella's family has reported that it is time to give up the fight and they are taking her home with hospice.  It's so difficult when, after praying for someone's recovery, God has shown that His plans are different.  I can't even begin to imagine what her parents are going through.

They have incredible strength, her family.  They have a deep love for God and trust in Him for the right outcome for their baby girl.  For years she has fought the good fight.  In the words of her parents, it is time for her to have the childhood she was denied here on earth, but to have it in Heaven.  To read their letter go to www.prayingforbella.com .

"Blessed are those who mourn for they will be comforted."  Matthew 5:4

I hate cancer with such a passion.  It is the thief that comes in the night to steal, kill and destroy.  It is the true face of satan.  It can take the innocent with the same vengeance that it can take the rest of us. 

Good news is that Bryce's blood numbers are up and he'll be able to take chemo on Friday.  Please pray for the success of his treatment.

Precious Lord, Jehovah Rapha,
Your ways are too high for us to understand.  What we do understand is the pain of loss and the pain of giving up, of finally admitting that there is no more we can do.  Still there is comfort in turning it all over to You.  Thank You, Lord, for being there for Bella and her family as they face these final steps for her here on this earthly plain.  We know that You will welcome her with open arms when she enters into eternal life, strong and healthy and beautiful.
Thank You for the healing that is taking place in Bryce.  Lord, your little children love You with such an innocence.  Would that we all could have that same innocent faith. 
Thank You, Lord, for teaching us always to look to the future because that is where You are, waiting for each of us who know and love You.
In Jesus' precious name,
Amen
