Tonight's Prayer

This is what I do on the eve of our appointments in Boston.: I stay up. I check on them. I pray for them. I check on them again. And, I don't sleep much. 

But tonight, I decided to do something different. Instead of going to bed with dread hanging over me and waking up with it in the morning as I wonder what new news tomorrow's appointments will bring, I decided to prepare myself mentally, emotionally, physically, SPIRITUALLY now for our son, Jonathan, and for his appointments tomorrow in Boston. 

Tonight's prayer...

Sweetest boy with such a tender soul, I pray for you tonight. I just tucked you in one last time, after you just fell out of bed, and I pray for peace to flood you through and through, touching every swollen, achy joint even as you sleep. Tomorrow will be a good day, as we face it together as a family. We will hear good news and good reports. And, despite what we are told, we know what the final outcome will be - we win. Period. I thank God now for the good news that will come. It might not happen immediately, but it will happen. We believe this for you. We stand strong for you. We pray constantly for you.  And, we will not stop fighting for you....or your sister.

In the meantime, we love you. Dearly.

“So now, take your positions and watch this great thing that the Lord is about to do in your sight.

1 Samuel 12:16
