I am happy to report that my son came through surgery successfully and is resting comfortably at home! Thank you for your prayers...

Faith Like a Child

People brought babies to Jesus, hoping he might touch them. When the disciples saw it, they shooed them off. Jesus called them back. "Let these children alone. Don't get between them and me. These children are the kingdom's pride and joy. Mark this: Unless you accept God's kingdom in the simplicity of a child, you'll never get in." (Luke 18:15-17, The Message)

My 5 year old son had surgery today. On the way home I went through the pharmacy drive-thru to pick up his pain medication. I was sure that he would need some as soon as we got home. However, 3 hours later, he has still refused a single dose. I tried explaining to him that it would be better to take some now than to wait until the pain is bad because it will take the medication a while to start working. He simply looked up at us and said, "No thank you. I think that maybe God will do a miracle and just heal my body so I don't need any medicine." And off he went to lay on the couch and watch his movie.

Now that's faith, pure and simple.
