May everyone have a wonderful and blessed day
Love the new format
Father, You have known Victoria and Shawn since before the world began. You loved them with Your perfect love even before any part of them came into existance. Pappy is very worried about them, Lord...You know all the reasons why. I beg You, My Father, to let only the best things happen to them at such young and defenseless ages.
I know often You work through children to reach the parents...but Lord, forbid that any harm should come to these precious children as You reach out to their parents. Your perfect plan is for families to be united, but Pappy wouldn't ask for Your direct intervention unless there were clear dangers if the family is reunited under the old conditions. Because of this, I ask You Father to delay the reunification of this family until the parents have convinced You that they are ready, willing and able to take on the awesome responsibility and priviledge of parenting. You know their hearts...reveal the truth that You know to the caseworkers and decision-makers. Let these people use common sense and the truth You reveal to them instead of the oftentimes irresponsible desire of social workers to reunite EVERY family as quickly as possible. Surround these children always with strong angels, and grant these angels the authority to step in and protect these children from any and all harm.
Father, I also beg Your great mercies for Cindi and her son, Matthew James. You know the biochemistry involved and the antigens being produced by Cindi's body. Father, if they haven't induced labor yet, I ask that You calm Cindi's immune system. Let it relax and not recognize Matthew's blood as a potential invader. Let her Rh factors return to normal so she can carry this beloved son to term, and let her deliver without incident.
If they have begun her delivery, Lord, please make it swift and without any complications for her and her baby. I ask, Dearest Father, that You accelerate his immune system so he can fight off any diseases, and let all of his responses to stimuli be advanced enough that he can nurse, and cry, breathe and move around as all tiny babies do. Let no harm come to him as he increases his weight and development.
In any case, Mighty God, Cindi wants her son desperately. Bless her, Matthew, and their entire family always, and provide for every need. Thank You Father! In Jesus' name...Amen!
UPDATE on Cindi and Matthew James..doctor called His lungs are just fine. The OB is going to wait until Monday at about 8 pm to induce labor. Cindi's anti-body count is higher than they like it to be, BUT not into the red zone yet. So I'll wait until Tuesday to go up. (Hubby gets new upper teeth Monday and I want to be sure he is stable)
