So many things in the world are happening that just break my heart. Houston, Puerto Rico, Las Vegas…hearing the stories of people dying in each other’s arms…I can’t hardly put my head around it.
Seeing how “good Christians” try to destroy church leaders who are obviously not in ministry, or church, for the right reasons. It’s all about being in charge, having power, doing things their way…and destroying the hearts and spirits of leaders who serve faithfully. It breaks my heart. Beware of church gossip and rumors. The people who start them are not speaking God’s truth.
But tonight my heart breaks for my mighty, warrior Caeleb. He went to school today after a painful infusion with not a worry in his mind and has now been admitted to the hospital. Tomorrow he gets port #7 placed. My heart fell to pieces when he hugged me and sobbed because he is scared.
What is important in your life?
Are you building others up or tearing them down?
Are you praying for the ones who have devastation in their lives? You don’t need to know them personally, lift them up.
And the children who are in the hospital right now as you read this. Pray for them. They are brave, mighty warriors who fight every day. Lift them up in prayer.
Tonight my heart grieves for so many and I feel like I am shedding tears for them all.
And I will end my night feeling the warm tears of my warrior on my shoulders.
Praying for you and your Son!
God bless you and Caleb tonight. Lord heal this child, wrap him in your arms and heal him, restore him in the mighty name of Jesus. Give his parents peace in knowing that he will be ok. Thank you, Lord Jesus for your never ending love and the mercy you show us.
Very true, inspirational and sad!
My heart breaks reading this. It has been so many weeks of natural disasters, violence and human suffering. The shear magnitude of it all is overwhelming. And now, to hear your little warrior and all of you are going down this path. I pray that it is not an inhibitor again. I pray that you all feel the love and grace God gives. Peace be with you.
Thank you for reminding us to pray, Caz! The sadness around us, the hatred, can be dispelled when we pray, and then personally become the change we need to see in the world, to quote Gandhi. We need to learn to love more. Thank you!
Thanks for sharing a piece of your life. You, Celab, and family are in my prayers for comfort and strength as face life’s challenges. Prayers for pastors and parishners who have been called to be a team for message of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Oh Cazandra, I’m so sorry that you guys have to keep going through this. My heart aches for you. Hugs to you all. I continue to lift you all. Sending warm thoughts and mighty prayers. Pam
Praying for your son sweetie!! ♡♡
