  • Adam and Vel - Yes the song is encouraging. I am praise God Calla is going to be ok. I cont. to pray also for another little baby (2 years old) that is dying of nueroblastoma. Her blog is laylagrace.org and for kate mcrae who is battling brain cancer at 6 years old. I look foward to the day we all who know HIm get to Heaven, where there will be no more pain or death or sickness. BTW, I have seen Cora in Levi since you started posting pics. I thought it funny that you hadn’t mentioned it, but as parents that is hard for us to notice sometimes, esp. in a boy and girl….we expect them to be different. I just thought they resembled eachother and the dad.
    Have a great day in the Lord and loving on Levi.ReplyCancel
