If you will, please remember this tiny baby in your prayers. He’s the grandson of a very dear friend of mine. Logan was born on July 25. His due date was in October, making his mommy 26 weeks along, being born 3 months and 3 days early.
Logan was 1 lb 9.4 oz when he was born and is now weighing, as of this morning, 1 lb. 8.3 oz. The little guy is now 12-1/2” long.
He’s a real trooper and is fighting with all his little body can fight with. His Grandma said that he’s starting to recognize his mommy when she comes in the room and hears her voice. She said he tries so hard to open his eyes, and starts kicking his feet.
I asked my friend if there were any specific prayers, other than the obvious…and this is her reply…” A prayer of thanks for the miracle called "Logan.”
On a personal note, I’ve read the emails daily from my friend. I’ve known her for years, I’ve heard her talking about her family for years…but I’ve got to tell you that I’m SO impressed with how her children have all banded together in support. What an incredibly wonderful and loving family.
Father God, we lift up Logan’s little body to you. We pray that you can strengthen him hourly, daily, weekly, until he’s grown enough to go home with his precious family. We ask for guidance for the doctors and nurses who are caring for him. We ask for strength for his parents and extended family. Thank you so much for the gift of life. In Jesus’ Name, Amen
Fellow Freepers…….I bring you Logan!!!
I've got to tell you a story. Please bear with me. It's kind of long:
Faith was in the hospital for three days having her blood cleansed through tubes in her jugular vein.
Each morning she was awakened about four by a voice coming from down the hall saying, "HELLLLLOOOOOOOOOO!"
On the third morning she rolled out of her room and down the hall searching for that voice.
She found a girl of about twelve a few doors down, hiding under the sheet with just her face showing.
Her face was paralyzed with cerebral palsey, but she could move her mouth enough to call, "hello", because she was so desperately lonely.
The little girl told Faith she thought she was an angel who had come to visit, but she knew she was sad because she could see the tears in her eyes.
Faith told her she knew she was the angel because her eyes were smiling.
She stayed with the little girl until they came to get her to take her to a nursing home.
Her eyes were still smiling as they rolled her away.
More prayers for your beautiful daughter.
Thank you.
Whatever transpires, you are Lifted Up in Prayer as is Faith. God will make his will known. Faith, how could she not be transformed to health, when her name declares her love for God? Hang on Cowboy! We pray for you both.
Faith has always lived up to her name. She's been a child of God her whole life.
Quite often she teaches her dad about facing life on life's terms, one day at a time.
Oh Cowboy....I just now saw this. Oh please, when you get out here, give YOUR angel a big hug from me. Please tell her of the thousands of good Christians praying for her and her Daddy.
Tell her thank you for being a blessing to that little girl....
We all love you.

It looks like the little whipper snapper is on his way to filling those boots. Happy Birthday to a special guy, Texas Cowboy.
I like the second one...Logan's looking at TC w/that hat on his head...wondering "WHAT IS THAT??????"! LOL!!!
LOL! Oh my gosh, poor Logan could've been swallowed up by those boots!
Happy birthday TC!

Happy Birthday Brother!
TT I had a dream while taking my nap that I met you, you were being baptized and you were going to be a brother!
I hope that is a good dream.
LOL!!!!!!
I counted the candles....hmmmmmm oh well Happy Birthday!!
What a wonderful story about Faith and the 12 year old girl!
Prayers for Nana and Faith.
Happy Birthday to you and many more. Looks like Logan isn't quite ready to fill your boots yet. Your daughter is in my prayers, as well.
May God richly bless you, one and all.
Happy Birthday, Texas Cowboy!!!
