Dear Praying Friends,
Our third daughter
& husband, Kirsten & Scott Snarey, are requesting prayer regarding their
soon to be born son.
Kirsten 'n Scott have
Janelle (8 years old a week ago today) and having lost children in the 1st
trimester both before and after Janelle, were delightfully surprised to
experience Kirsten keeping this child beyond the 1st, and on through now, when
the child is technically due on February 6.
However, today, she
called Jan and told her that the doctor has checked this morning and the baby's
heart rate is . . . slow. She is to go back in this afternoon (
Please join them and us
in praying for God's best for the baby, Kirsten and her family as well as the
rest of us who have gleefully anticipated the arrival of this special little
blessing (our 11th grandchild).
Yours, In Christ,
tim, for jan, too

praying for Kirsten, the baby, and the rest of your family. xoxo Lisa – Friends we’ve

4. 10:31 - First we will pray for them as well as pass this along to our small group. If you remember us, Madeline and I were married in your church 3 years ago this coming April. We have been trying to have a baby for almost 2 years and can empathize with Kirsten's disappointment in many ways. In October of last year, Madeline became pregnant. We had a couple scares, but tomorrow she will be 4 months along. In Faith, we are expecting our first child together July 23rd. Keep us in your prayers as well please. Both for a safe birth and for God's support for us to raise our child in his will. We will be praying for Kirsten and Scott !!!

Its always great to hear from you, but this time I just had to write back. While praying for that child I had the strangest feeling that he has already been dedicated to the Lord. Like Samuel, he has been given to the Lord's work and service and will have a very special call. I pray that we will all have the privilege of watching this child grow, and learn, and change the world before God jealously takes him home.
Blessings to you and the family. Grace and peace to you and yours.
