I pray because I can't help myself. I pray because I'm helpless. I pray because the need flows out
of me all the time- waking and sleeping. It doesn't change God- it changes me.

For those of you who have been joining me in prayer for sweet Connor…I wanted to let you know
that he lost his long battle with cancer Friday, July 9th. My heart is broken for his precious
family. I know Connor is with Jesus and this is a blessing for everyone involved. His family…of
course is comforted by this…however…they are still devastated!!! I can’t even begin to
comprehend the pain of this loss!!! I am grateful that Connor is with our Lord and Savior and
pain-free for the first time in a very long time. I look forward to the day I will see him whole and
happy!!! I want to thank you all for your prayers and good wishes!!! I hope you will continue to
pray for this sweet family as they deal with the loss of there beloved child!!! Thank you!!!
Have a wonderful Sunday!!!
God Bless You All!!!

Cathy,
Connor and his family are in my thoughts and prayers. I don't understand, but know there is a reason.
hugs, Cathy
Cathy, please convey to his family my deepest sympathies. I pray one day the joy he brought them will lessen the pain & sorrow they're feeling. I too take comfort knowing he's at peace, no pain & playing as he shoould for eternity in Heaven, but still I do wonder why.
My dear friend Jennifers baby boy is fighting for his life. After ging full term he spent 11 weeks in NICU with lung & heart issues, came home for a week only to be rushed back last Wed. He actually coded, flat lined & was revived but now back on a ventilator he's no better. His name is Brandon & if you could add him to your prayers we'd all be grateful.
Blessings to you.
Oh Cathy, I am so sad for you and for his family. Even when we know that a person is in a better place, we still miss them, and at his young age, we also lament what he could have become here on earth. It's impossible to imagine what his family is going through. I will keep all of you in my prayers. laurie
Oh how sad. I am so sorry!
Cathy, Our comfort comes from knowing they are with our Lord Jesus, but we still miss them so much. I am so sorry about Connor.
Please come to my blog, I have something for you.
Cathy,
Just knowing he is with Jesus now and pain free is so comforting. I will say a prayer for his family too, as I am sure it is rough right now.

Sweet Cathy....
I can't imagine how painful it would be to watch your child suffer....and yet, the pain of losing them would be so devastating. My heart breaks for this family. I'm so very sorry. Yes, I will pray for them.
Hugs to you...

I personally know this pain from experience. Connor is in a better place than we. No words can comfort in a loss but please know that our prayers are real & the pain is deep for all of you. May the good Lord cradle Connor's soul & bless his family & friends. TTFN ~ Marydon

So sorry to hear about this dear family's loss. I will continue to pray for them...that the God of the universe wraps His arms of comfort around them. And God bless you Cathy for your faithfulness to pray for this need.
:( I'm so sorry to hear about this precious little boy. My prayers are with their family that they lean on God for comfort.
HUGS,

Aw. Sorry to hear this sad news. Glad his suffering is over. Have a nice Sunday.
All the best,
Allison
I'm more sad than I can say, Cathy. A little life gone too soon.
When I was ten years old my Aunt Cherryle lost a baby boy to crib-death. He was about 8 months old. She was devastated and even though I was quite young I understood death wasn't the end...it was the beginning of life with Jesus...especially true for innocent children.
Lifting this family up the Lord God on High. Praying for strength, mercy and love to pour down upon them.
You are wonderful and so faithful in sharing with us your love and concern...
Blessings and love, Rebecca

Prayer in a Garden
Today the world seemed cruel, but evening hours
Were filled with perfume from forgotten flowers.
I saw again familiar filigree
Of moonlight through my lacy Lilac tree;
I heard the robins stirring in their nest;
And saw the path that fairy feet had pressed;
Reflected stars were in my garden pool;
On my warm face the breeze was kind and cool.
The silence seemed to speak, my head was bowed,
Then ramblers that had grown into a cloud
Lifted my eyes that, tear-washed, now could see
The beauty that today was lost to me.
Dear god, who is so near to flowers, and birds,
Be nearer still, as I shall search for words
To thank Thee for the blessings night revealed,
Which through the day discouragement concealed.
-EvA SPARKs TAYLOR
Hugs to you and yours...
