We’ve had a bit of a family crisis. It’s actually a bit hard to write about. Our little grand baby has decided that it wants to be born much earlier than it should be. For now, our little baby is staying put and we are thankful to God for every day that it does so.

We’re thankful for the group of Christian believers that have surrounded our little family in prayer. What started as a quick text message to two of our friends asking for prayer for this little baby has blossomed to a prayer chain that spans oceans and continents. Pastors and church members are praying for our little baby, without knowing who we are, but knowing that fellow believers are in need of support. We read, in Galatians 2:6:

Carry each other's burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.

And Romans 12:10-13 encourages us to:

Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Honor one another above yourselves. Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. Share with God's people who are in need. Practice hospitality.

We thank those who are carrying our burdens in prayer and demonstrating their brotherly love. We pray that the Lord will help our little baby remain in place until the time He has appointed for its birth. We pray that the Lord will have his healing hand continually on my sweet little daughter-in-law as well.
