Noah

This is Noah Steven Graves. Beautiful isn't he?
Right now he is in ICU at Childrens Hospital in Denver waiting to hear the report of his mass of tests. He has been diagnosed with leukodystrophy, a rare metabolic genetic disorder.
I look at him and see such a gift. There is such a special bond between moms and their boys and this boy is loved so dearly by his whole family. Pray for him.

I was reading in "Reflections for Ragamuffins" it was talking about Jesus as our friend. Have you ever thought that he is proud of you for taking him into your life? He is proud of you for the trust you placed in him during your current difficult time? He is proud of you for not giving up on him but trusting him over and over? He is thankful that you continually share his message and strive to know him better so that your witness is even more powerful?

"He said, 'I do not call you servants, but friends...' Therefore, there is the possibility of every feeling and emotion that can exist between friends to exist here and now between Jesus and you." How much Jesus must love this family and suffers right along with them, continually praying to the Father for his perfect will. We love them dearly but Jesus loves them even more. Thank you Lord for your marvelous goodness to us all.

Isaiah 30:18
But God's not finished. He's waiting around to be gracious to you. He's gathering strength to show mercy to you. God takes the time to do everything right--everything. Those who wait around for him are the lucky ones. (the message)
