Tuesday

“The secret things belong to the LORD our God,

but those things which are revealed

belong to us and to our children forever,

that we may do all the words of this law.”

~Deut. 29:29~

Aaron Hill – 3:38 P.M. Monday

Please pray for a miracle. Aaron was rushed down for a CT scan earlier and it showed a very bad brain injury. The doctors have told us they don’t know why it happened, but they have given us no hope for Aaron. It is so bad that they said his heart may stop. Please play that God will manifest Himself in a miraculous healing of Aaron. If that is not His will, please pray that He will not allow him to suffer.

Aaron Hill – 3:32 A.M. Tuesday

Scott and I have been with Aaron all night, praying and waiting on a miracle. Please continue to pray.

Baptist Press had wonderful articles. I think as you read them you will agree. Can’g you just imagine how wonderful the service was Sunday when Franklin Avenue Baptist Church had their first service in their church since Katrina. Please read these articles. They will make your day!

Upper Room Daily DevotionalAsking for Help

Asking for Help

Read Psalm 31:1-5

Jesus said, “I tell you the truth, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.” And he took the children in his arms, put his hands on them and blessed them.
-Mark 10:15-16 (NIV)

“MAMá, fix it!” cried Mateo as he handed me one of his toy cars and a tiny piece of yellow plastic.

Examining the little car, I saw that the steering wheel had come off. I fitted the piece back into place and returned it to Mateo.

“Here,” I said; “it was the steering wheel, see?”

“Yes,” he responded. Never taking his eyes off the car, he took it from me and placed it alongside his other toy cars.

This incident made me think. Mateo, who is barely two years old, has complete faith in my ability to fix things. Though he has exhausted his own resources, it does not occur to him that there could be no solution. He simply looks for other options.

Mateo’s request was simple and trusting. It reminded me of the importance of maintaining a child’s perspective, one that is pure, humble, and trusting. How good it is to set aside our pride at excelling in everything! We can turn the broken pieces of our lives to God our Father, and say, “Papá, fix it!”
