Somehow I feel the need to share something very sad with all of you. Last week I asked through facebook and other avenues to help grant a special Christmas wish for a very sick little boy, his name is Noah. He loved to recieve Christmas cards. Many of you responded, and along with other people who also were led to help in a small way to make his Christmas better, Noah recieved over 1 million cards and gifts from these requests. This morning at 8:02am Noah went to be with God. Noah had stage IV Neruorblastoma cancer. Now he is in the hands of angels. I never met Noah, I do not know his family, but I do know God and I do know how he will care for Noah in the finest fashion until that time that his family is all together again.His family has asked that you not send cards or flowers, just prayers (you may send donations to the address at the end). The prayers we need now is for his family to be able to deal with the loss. No matter how much we believe that heaven is for eternity, the flesh cries out in pain over the loss of a loved one.
If some of you do not understand how Noah and ceramics have anything to do with each other. I am sorry I wasted your time. But you see, God created his first creation, Adam out of the clay of the earth. We are all in a way ceramic (clay) by God's ultimate design.
If you would like you may send donations to:

As an idea . . . what if your family sat down together, and prayed for a clamness and healing of heart for Noah's family. Perhaps you could actually make a special ornament and hang it on your tree as a way to remember to continue to pray for this family and other families who are suffering this Holiday season. Somehow I feel confident that as Noah looks down upon us and the whole world this Christmas he will smile at the thought we are trying to care for his family.
(The picture is really Noah with Santa this Christmas)
I have my Daughters of the Holy Cross praying for Noah's family and for Noah's repose. He is truly now the angel that God had given his family but is watching from above and rejoicing in an eternal life with no pain and suffering. I just know that Noah touched many lives and brought much joy while here in this terrestrial life so, he did what he was sent by God to do.
ReplyDeleteMay the Lord give Noah's family and friends His comfort that passes all human understanding now and in the years to come.
