You may remember this post about a young girl adopted from China that is battling Leukemia.
Well, please continue to pray for this family, as they got some bad news yesterday and they are in more appointments today, Christmas Eve, to determine their course of action. (click on the link above to read their blog)
As we all enjoy our Christmas (or some, maybe not so much), remember the simple blessings that God has given us, including our health and the health of our children. But most of all, remember the gift of Salvation that God provided on this day. A gift that, at such a terrible time for the Miyashita family, provides HOPE! Hope in knowing that they will never be permanently separated from their beautiful daughter. No matter what God's plan is for her near future, her ETERNITY is guaranteed!!
So as you tuck your children in tonight, as you check off your Christmas list, as Santa makes his way around the world, say an extra little prayer. Pray for Lydia, that God would heal her body and that they would find a treatment that is suitable. Pray also for Mark and Monica, for patience, and for a hope. For knowing that it is okay to be down, but they need to continue to look UP! That they would find their strength and endurance in Christ! And for Max, that through all of this, he will understand the love of his parents, his sister and his God! That God would protect him from the pain that is being felt around him.
Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas. As my Aunt Opal wrote in her Christmas card this year..
Christmas Love
ChristWas Love
And always will be!
ChristWas Love
And always will be!
God is Good!

Merry Christmas, Carol! I've been keeping up with the Miyashita's website and actually ran into Monica at Buehler's last week and my heart just breaks for them. It's interesting though that you wrote about hope because that is exactly what's been going through my mind all day in relation to them. Take care!
