Heavenly Father, we return with tear-stained hearts to thank You for the mercy You have shown to Sunshine and her beloved daughter. We rejoice with them and thank You that this night will not be another night of fear and dread. Grant wisdom to each as they deal with the consequences of Christina's actions and the actions of all those involved. Apply these lessons, O Lord, that each may grow in Grace and in the Knowledge of the ways in which You would have us walk. Thank You for the unbreakable bond of a mother's love for her child ... for the willingness to walk the world over and to move heaven and earth for the sake of her child. We thank You for Your wisdom, and praise You for Your mercy. In the Name of Jesus, Amen ...

Sunshine, I echo the suggestion from Renfield, ican'tbelieveit, and swordmaker ... have your daughter read every word on this thread. These words blessed our hearts, and they will bless hers, too.

Agreeing with you in your prayer of thanksgiving and praise to our God Who carefully watched over Christina and answered our cries for mercy. May He bring good out of this situation even though the devil intended it for evil, and may His Name be glorified in Christina's life.
