Prayers for RJ, little boy 7 yrs. of age While at my Dr.'s apointment this morning, there was a little boy seven years of age with his two older brothers waiting for their Grandmother. I started talking with them, the youngest little boy wore a helmet and he kept making remarks regarding his head. I asked the older boy 13 years of age, if there was a problem and he told me, "Yes, his little brother RJ is blind, and also suffers brain damage, he proceeded to tell me the story of what happened to cause this. It brought tears to my eyes and I felt such sadness in my heart for them. I went over and kneeeled by little RJ and talked to him, and told the older boy I would be keeping them all in my prayers. I will not go into the details as to what happened to this precious little boy when he was only nine months of age. It is something we hear so often, it was just too sad to repeat and it broke my heart, what nice children they are, they sat their so patiently waiting for their Grandmother to come back out from seeing the Dr. I was told their Grandmother has full custody and is raising them. I come here to ask others to pray for little RJ and also for prayers for their Grandmother for the Lord to supply her the strength and health to raise these dear ones. I have heard similiar stories so many many times, this is the closest I have been to anyone that had to endure such. As I was called in to see the Dr. I left telling them that I would continually be praying for them. The oldest looked into my eyes and said, thank you so much we really need lots of prayers. I have felt this morning stay with me most of the day and evening and couldn't help but come in to YT and ask others,Please won't you that believe in the power of prayer join in with me to be included in the lots of prayers going up for each of them. Thanks, Patti |
