Lifting a Heavy Heart Who’d ever believe how soothing it feels, Knowing a friend, before God kneels Asking in prayer for His healing touch For our daughter, we all love so much Our Father’s love steadies me In her anguish that I see For I know she does believe So heaven’s gift she will receive If the time had come for her To go with Rod, her brother I know they’d wait for me To join them eternally She won’t be home for Christmas But still she is with us As we celebrate Jesus’ birth Which gives life it’s meaning and worth My heavy heart is lighter Knowing she’s a fighter And your kind words of encouragement Help my faith to a great extent Merry Christmas To All With sincerest thanks from White Dove’s whole family |

"My heavy heart is lighter Knowing she’s a fighter" Mine too. Your family is constantly in my thoughts and prayers, and she is indeed being cared for by her very best "friend." Bless you all. |

There are a lot of people here praying for Becky this season, and at all times. Having her here is the most important thing. I'm always glad to hear that she is doing well. God bless, Rae and Becky and family!! Merry Christmas!! ~sky Have a Holly Jolly Christmas! Jesus is the reason for the season!! |

I agree, knowing that people (a whole lot of people) are praying is such an awesome comfort and encouragement to our faith and to our loved ones and their faith as well. According to research, it has been proven that those who have faith have a much better recovery rate than those who do not. Faith and prayer do not always remove the circumstances that we face from out of our path, but they certainly do help us make the journey. Amen. I remember when I had both my kidney and pancreas transplanted a few years ago and how I could feel the presence of prayer in my hospital room. What a wonderful faith builder that was to me and I do know that our prayers are right there with you and yours as well. I do pray that God would continue to bless you and bring healing and quick recovery to your daughter, Rebecca, and to the rest of your loved ones and family. Amen. |
