Sunday Morning
One of the first things we did this morning was read through some blog comments and follow some of the contributors. The Other Me wrote this as part of an entry on her own blog. It was so beautiful that we just had to reprint it here:
".....Miracle wish. Oh if I could have a miracle it would be that Rebekah would be well. That her mommy and daddy would wake up and see that this sweet face is healed, that this baby can laugh and yell and shout and be 3, that they could see her have a fantastic 3 year old tantrum and laugh with sheer joy because their baby is well.
That the time we all pray for is here, that Rebekah is healed and well and her parents can take time to see that more than one miracle has happened because as well as being better, this little girl, in her 3 years has made more people see God, turned more hearts to Him in prayer than anyone other one person I can name right now. That when the time comes for Rebekah to be with God ( and may that be so far away that we older people aren't around to see it) He will welcome this child into His arms and tell her that He never left her, that he held her hand and her heart as she battled through this terrible time and turned so many people to Him.
I could live without all the other wishes if I could have the miracle one. In prayer, miracles can, and do, happen, may many continue to pray for this miracle and may we see it soon. God Bless Rebekah, I'm sure He is holding you heart and your hand."

Beautiful
And another AMEN!
Words like that are inspired by God, that was an amazing way to say what so many of us hope for.
The words you shared from another blogger are beautiful ...and what all of us are praying and agreeing!
Rebekah was a key focus point in our pastor's sermon this morning. His text was from James - chapter 1 verses 2-4..."Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything."
He shared quite a bit from those few verses ---one of the key points being that even though we have no idea why this is happening to Rebekah --we know that disease does not come from the Lord and that He will work things out for His good and His glory --all the while perfecting us to do His good work.
Again, I'm reminded of the countless lives that have been changed because of Rebekah. So many are praying and drawing closer to the Lord. He is an awesome God.
He will continue to be faithful and sustain you as you perservere through this trial.
Our congregation joined together in prayer for Rebekah this morning (as we often do)...They're all familiar with her story - (her poster is in the foyer!)...praying for a miracle...believing God is able to do exceedingly, abundantly above all we can ask or think!
God bless you!
...praying continually in Pennsylvania...
Deb, Randy and Olivia
