Prayers

We heard news of Jennifer (MacLeod) and John Wallace giving birth to their son who went straight to be with Jesus last week. Our hearts go out to them as they try to make sense of it all and remember holding Gordon in their arms.
The words to the song "Love Them Like Jesus" by Casting Crowns has been in my head all weekend.

The gifts lie in wait, in a room painted blue
Little blessing from Heaven would be there soon
Hope fades in the night, blue skies turn to gray
As the little one slips away

You’re holding her hand, you’re straining for words

You’re trying to make sense of it all
They’re desperate for hope, darkness clouding their view
They’re looking to you

Just love them like Jesus, carry them to Him

His yoke is easy, His burden is light
You don’t need the answers to all of life’s questions
Just know that He loves them and stay by their side
Love them like Jesus

Lord of all creation holds our lives in His hands

The God of all the nations holds our lives in His hands
The Rock of our salvation holds our lives in His hands
He cares for them just as He cares for you

Praying for you guys and your families as you try to make sense of it all. We're so thankful to know that Gordon is with Jesus. Thank you for loving Him.

Craig and Leah Reid
