Our sweet boy is sick
We received a call today from our family coordinator that our son Sam is very sick. He has pneumonia and is being treated with oxygen and three medicines. My heart is aching and I feel sick to my stomach. I can't believe he is so sick and I am so far away! I ask for your prayers for healing and for the doctors who are caring for him. I pray that he knows how loved he is and that we are coming after him as soon as we can.

I am so sorry to hear. I know how hard it is to not be there and fix it. Praying for your sweet little one.

ReplyDeleteJennifer, you may not know me yet in the African Fellowship Group, but I have enjoyed your sweet blog.
ReplyDeleteMy heart is aching over your little boy's illness. Jesus woke me up this morning with him on my heart--my first words of the day were prayer for his healing and comfort. May God send him His VERY NEAR presence. May he feel our Shepherd Father affectionately rocking him and soothing him...and you..."He restores my soul..He will not break a bruised reed.." May God send his angels ahead of you to minister to your little one.
When we traveled to Ethiopia almost 3 years ago, my heart was ached at the sound of labored breathing among the children in our orphanage, including our tiny Ava, who had significant issues as she came into our arms. We will "hug and hold" him in our prayers until we hear of his healing.
True Blessings in our Jesus,
Love,Gillian
Just wanted to let you know that I'm praying for your precious son and you as you are half-way across the world and longing to hold him - I've been in your shoes more than once and know how agonizing it is. Do not hesitate to call AWAA about updates on his condition...they were great to update us when we called and he is your child and you have a right to know how he is doing. Your family remains in my prayers. If you need someone to talk to who has been there, please e-mail me and I will give you my phone number if you would like. etr2002@bellsouth.net
ReplyDeleteI am praying for that sweet boy! Jesus will hold him until you get there...but it's so hard to have those empty arms. My verse of comfort while I waited was Psalm 68:5 "A Father to the fatherless is God in His holy dwelling." God will hold him during this sickness. Love you guys!
ReplyDeleteChip and I (Tiffany), the Lebanon couple that called you - we wanted you to know that we just said a prayer for you, your family and baby Sam. We prayed for his healing and for him to pass court tonight so that you can go and bring him home. I cant imagine the emotions you are feeling right now, so I especially will pray for Gods amazing peace for you. Please post soon on his status.
ReplyDeleteOh Jennifer. It is Monday and I am just now reading this. I was already praying for the court date and this just steps it up a big notch. I am praying for healing for Sam and for you to pass court so you can get him HOME. Love you, sweet friend. Hang in there. God has him in the palm of his hand.
