Prayers needed for little Gavin...

It seems like there are so many illnesses and cancers going around affecting so many children today...It's so crazy to me and I can not fathom the pain that so many different families are going through. Even though I do not understand the extent of their pain or the reality of their circumstances, I do know that I can PRAY.....

James 5:16~
"Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other
so that you may be healed.
The earnest prayer of a righteous person has
great power and produces wonderful results."

I have been receiving prayer requests via email from a friend of mine from Tulsa. Their friends, The Smith's, are going through very dark valley right now as they are walking through brain cancer with their 3 year old little boy Gavin. Gavin has had several surgeries over the past 2 weeks since the tumor was discovered on his brain. Here is their family blog for more information for those of you who would be so kind to add them to your prayer list: http://smithscooptexas.blogspot.com/
The brain tumor that was removed has been diagnosed: "The pathology report has come in. Gavin has been diagnosed with an atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumor. It's an exceedingly rare brain tumor for children and does not have a good prognosis. We don't have the heart to go into details or statistics right now. We need a lot of prayers."
(That is a direct quote from their blog entry from yesterday.)

Please join with me in praying for precious Gavin! He is only 3 years old and that SO hits home with me, as McKenna is also 3.

"Lord may your grace & peace be with The Smith's today..."

Jennifer-

I'm so sorry to hear of this little guy. I will add him to my ever-growing prayer list for little ones and their families.

Love you so much!
