Something Precious Lost

Yesterday was a very sad day in our family. My dear cousin, Holly, who has suffered from epilepsy since childhood suffered a seizure while holding her 9 month old little girl, Isabella. When she came through after the seizure, Holly was on the floor and she found little Isabella was not breathing. I hate to tell you that we lost Isabella yesterday. Holly and Mikey live next to my parents' farm in Sumter. Holly and Mikey are devastated and older brothers Noah and Nathan are confused and sad. Please lift them in your prayers and thoughts as they will need God to weather this storm and find some comfort to ease this pain that hurts to the core of human existence.

Here's a prayer that a dear friend from church sent yesterday. I ask that you read it and pray these words to our Lord, our Father. Holly and Mikey probably don't know you and may never know your name or face; but, Jesus hears your words and I thank you from everyone in our family.

Father, I come to you now in the name of Jesus on behalf of Holly and her immediate family and entire extended family. Make your presence known in a supernatural way to calm and settle the fear, extinguish the guilt, and multiply the hope. May they have visions of Isabella in your presence and that all is well there. Help them to get through this day and the days ahead. Help them to know how much you love them and are speaking to many others to share your love during this time. Help them to draw close to you. Help us to remember to continue our prayers for them. Show us others way we can serve them from afar. Thank you for loving us all and especially for caring for them during this most difficult time. Amen.


See ya!
