Ruth writes>>>The storm on Thursday had very tragic circumstances, when a couple tried to drive through a flooded wash to take their 6-year old son to the hospital because of illness, but the car got stuck and the child was swept away. They have yet to recover his body. Please pray for the family. Prayers from Anna and Ron on the way to the family Ruth, even though we know nothing about them, that is just terrible!

I truly believe the power of prayer is greater than we can begin to imagine. And having walked (somewhat) in the shoes that these poor parents are now in, I know that it can only be the prayers of others that sustain you at a time like this, because prayer is impossible when you're going through this kind of tragedy. This family was on my mind even before I opened my eyes this morning, so I know God was prompting me to prayer for them. It's just so heartbreaking. That was very sweet and kind of you to start this thread, Ron. You are a gem! An update: Hikers found the poor child's body yesterday. At least now the family will be able to lay their little one to rest.

It breaks my heart to hear stories like this and I always think "There but for the Grace of God go I". A year and a half ago when my two youngest nearly drowned at the seaside I realised how precious our lives are and how life can change in a moment. I pray for the family. Alway thinking of you too Ruth. |

My prayers go out the the family for God's comfort, strength and peace in this most difficult time. |
