By this time, Jake's surgery is over and he is without eyesight. I am reminded of Helen Keller and all of the wonderful things that she accomplished. And a chorus is running through my head....'The Joy of the Lord is my Hope'. I will pray for Jake and bring his name up before our congregation. Bless you for your love and concern for him and his family.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7458148441049177548.post-76136594003939028272009-11-11T21:42:28.273-08:002009-11-11T21:42:28.273-08:00My heart has been heavy for weeks.

I also see their fear and their questions. I know God has huge things in store for Jake. I know that this family faces tremendous hurdles and uncertainties and pain. But I also know that they will be leaders. They will lead many people to God and faith. I can feel it in their presence. Nonetheless, I am praying for yet another miracle on his behalf. And if that is not in the plan, then I pray for continued faith and courage on their behalf. They are amazing.ginahttp://www.discomommy.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7458148441049177548.post-82441709295482317872009-11-11T21:00:22.839-08:002009-11-11T21:00:22.839-08:00wow, that gives me some perspective upon the "...wow, that gives me some perspective upon the "problems" my family has.
