Charlotte

I have mentioned little Charlotte Reynolds and her family on this blog before. Charlotte passed away Thursday, January 7th after being in a coma for several days. I'd like to ask you to continue praying for her parents, Roger and Rachel, her extended family, and friends.

We have been praying for Charlotte as a family, and Abby knew she was very sick. I hadn't mentioned anything about her lately because I knew she was going to die and wasn't sure what to say about it to Abby. Of course, the day it happened she asked Rick if she could pray for Charlotte and he told her she had passed away. The next evening I asked her if she knew about Charlotte and she answered, "Daddy said she died". We were quiet for a few minutes then she said, "Mom, did you know Hippy's friend Henry died? Charlotte can sleep with him in Heaven."

Please Pray

My heart is aching for the Reynolds family right now. Little Charlotte Reynolds, age 4, was diagnosed with brain cancer back in January. She has had several surgeries, chemo, and radiation. Lately they have been noticing more tremors, and she has been in some pain. Charlotte had an MRI today and the news was not good. The tumor is growing and causing many problems. They have few options left. I cannot imagine getting this news about my child. Please pray for them, that our God of peace and comfort will hold them in His loving arms.

Prayers for Stellan

I read lots of blogs by moms around the country. I ran across this one about a month ago and have been "keeping up" with baby Stellan. He is having heart surgery tomorrow....if you are reading this, say a prayer for this sweet baby boy. Here is a link to his mom's blog:
