[JustAmy]

No new update but I decided to share today's photo as I thank you for your continued prayers.

Brian got a small smile today .... you think this kid could be spoiled? LOL

I wonder if he was not a happy camper because he had to share Daddy with Grandpa and Grandma. He usually gets all of the attention.

Not to be misunderstood .... I would spoil him rotten.

Thank you for praying for Richie and our family. Your prayers are greatly appreciated.

Thank you for the updates on our sweet little Richie.

Prayers continuing....for a miracle and for strength for this dear family.

Still praying and still feeling the heartbreak over brave Richie’s (and those who love him) travails. God Bless - you come across as the rock that others can depend on.

Thanks for the great picture. Is there anybody cuter than Richie? No.

Prayers up.

[Tuscaloosa Goldfinch]

Please, mercy Lord. Please heal Richie.

A true angel.

Dear Lord, please hear our humble prayers on this little one’s behalf.

Prayers up for Richie and your family again. Good to see the smiles! Thanks for keeping us updated.

Lord God Almighty,

Much loved, beautiful, beguiling Richie is in need of deliverance from illness and disability. Our hope is in You, Lord. His life is in Your hands.

Richie's smile has captivated many hearts, displaying the generous love and faith in his own heart. Even in his stricken condition, Richie is fully alive and is ministering to us!

Relieve Richie from pain and sickness, Lord God. Help his spirit to overcome this valley of shadow. For You are with him. Your rod and Your staff, they comfort him.

May Your comfort extend to his dear father, his mother, his grandparents and extended family, certainly including JustAmy. Give them strength, courage and true belief in Your promises, Lord God, to walk this rocky path with Richie in faith, every inch of the way.

We ask these blessings in the Name above all names, Jeshua, our Emanuel, Messiah God.

Amen.

Surely Goodness, Surely Mercy

Song lyrics, based on the 23rd Psalm:

The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want
In green pastures He makes me lie down
He restores my soul and leads me on for His name
For His great name

Surely goodness, surely mercy
Right beside me all my days
And I will dwell in Your house forever
And bless Your holy name

You prepare a table right before me
In the presence of my enemies
Though the arrow flies and the terror of night
Is at my door, I'll trust you Lord

Surely goodness, surely mercy
Right beside me all my days
And I will dwell in Your house forever
And bless Your holy name

Even though I walk through the valley
Of the shadow of death
I will fear no evil
Even though I walk through the valley
Of the shadow of death
You are on my side
Even though I walk through the valley
Of the shadow of death
I will fear no evil
Even though I walk through the valley
Of the shadow of death
You are on my side

Surely goodness, surely mercy
Right beside me all my days
And I will dwell in Your house forever
And bless Your holy name

Lord Jesus....

We come thanking you that you will answer our prayers in your perfect timing as we intercede before you for the life of this precious child and the care of his family. ..... with this we also ask you hear the unspoken prayers of those who cannot find words to express their hearts.....for we know you know the hearts of men......Let the words of our mouths, and the meditation of our hearts, be acceptable in your sight, O LORD, our strength, and our redeemer.... In your name we ask....Amen

[Pete from Shawnee Mission]

As always, prayers for Richie and family that the God of all good work in his life that which is best, whether healing or calling him home. (All else being equal, we pray for his healing!) Amen!
