"Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all

circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus."

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

Nothing better than a gut check! Just when you think you have it bad you know there are others out there suffering worse. God doesn't say Praise me when your car breaks down, but rather praise me that you even have a car to break down. When your sick.. Know there is someone out there sicker. Stop and thank the Lord for the health you do have, the functions God has granted you.

I have been following a young girl named Bailey's blog. She has been in the hospital since January awaiting a heart transplant. Bailey's and her Mom's amazing spirit is evident on every page. They ooze courage, faith, grace, love, humor, and fight. To read Angie's (the Mom) writing it is as if you are truly there with them, feeling everything they are feeling. The highs and the lows. It makes your daily life seem so trivial and easy in comparison. If you have a moment to stop by Bailey's Blog and pour a little love and prayer into her page I know they would be grateful.

There is another young friend of mine who is also suffering. Her name is Ashleigh, and she is 3 years old. Ashleigh was diagnosed with Neuroblastoma cancer June 7, 2004 - 5 weeks before her 3rd Birthday. She has been fighting and beating this disease for a YEAR now. Think back to what you were doing a year ago. If you look up the word Fighter in the dictionary you will find Ashleigh's smiling face. Prayers have gotten her family through the toughest times. The road has been and continues to be rocky. I ask that you stop and leave a breath prayer for Ashleigh and her family.

Having these 2 young people in my heart and prayers on a daily basis makes my life seem so easy and uncomplicated in comparison. Today.. My Blog is dedicated to these 2 Hero's and their families!

"The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you"
