I
enjoy staying in touch with friends and family on the
internet,
and
I have found a lot of excellent information there.
From
time to time, I will use some of that information
to
help bring God's Word to His people.
Sometimes
you will find something funny,
or
sad,
or
emotional,
or
something thoughtful like this selection below.
If
you find something
on
your journey through this World Wide Web
that
you think others might enjoy,
forward
it to me, too.
Maybe
it will show up here someday.
I
hope you will find these articles helpful in your daily
walk of faith.

Kaleb’s
Prayer
Holy
Father, we looked so forward
to
seeing this little gift that You sent.
We
call him Kaleb, Lord.
It
is with broken hearts that we give him back to You so soon.
We
know that You will give him the best care,
and
that angels will see to his every need.
This
little gift has touched so many, Lord.
You
have given us the chance
to
come together because of Kaleb,
and
we are grateful for the new friends to help share our pain.
His
light will shine in the darkness for all of us,
even
if we didn’t get the chance to see it.
Father,
guide us through this long day.
Our
sorrow and pain will subside,
and
we will be able to smile again.
We
know that You are the Peace we need in our hearts.
Keep
us in Your arms, right beside Kaleb.
Let
us feel the little hugs that he’s giving to You right now.
Let
us see his smiles in the rainbows;
hear
his little voice in the breeze;
see
his beautiful eyes in the stars.
Give
us the warmth of Kaleb’s laughter and
the
glow of his love to remind us that he has bound us together.
Let
him know how much we love him
and
that he will always hold a huge place in our lives.
In
the name of Your Holy Son, Amen.
