Dw phoned me a few minutes ago. Ya’ know how when you just hear someone’s voice you know something is wrong?
Dw and the team are working at the baby home right now. The director called him into her office a few minutes ago. She needed to talk. In the night a baby had been brought to the baby home. Dw said I could not go into details but this precious little treasure had been horrifically maimed and had extensive injuries.
Dw was crying as he was telling me.
Anyway, they rushed him to the hospital.
Tragically he died a short time later.
Tears.
Only tears.
Dw prayed with the director and told her how
he wished I was there to hold her so she could cry.
Grieve.
Such horrific, unspeakable things.
Innocent baby boy.
Created in the image of Almighty God.
Created with a plan and a purpose by God.
I cannot even fathom what he had to endure in his final hours.
Yes, he is safe in the arms of Jesus, but his pain was real.
His loss is very real to those who tried desperately to save him.
Would you pray with me for orphanage directors
and workers around the world today?
That God would minister to their hearts and comfort them.
That God would give them hope as they persevere to love on babies in this hurting and desperate world.
Heart is broken. Praying…
Praying today…
Praying right now thru my tears…
Holding DW and the team close.
praying for your team and your husband.
Praying
Praying for all these amazing people who care for the "least of these." Praying for the team as they minister. Love you guys.
I am so sorry–sorry for what the pain of that baby, sorry for the director, sorry for DW, I am even sorry for whoever did this. I am sorry that they are so full of the hurt and pain the enemy of our souls has afflicted them with. And praying "Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven." May the Holy Spirit bring comfort, peace and healing. May He be so close that they can feel His healing presence.
We have been so burdened today and have already been praying praying praying….
2 Chronicles 19–awesome chapter about GODS battles…and how much power is in our PRAISE!
Pray specifically for Sudanese orphans too please! Horrible news coming from there…
Oh Jesus. Father come quickly
Praying for those who grieve, and grateful that this precious bsby is in the arms of Jesus right now completely whole inside and out.
ohhh Linny! my heart is breaking! but so thankful that Jesus is holding this sweet baby in His arms – free of pain and sorrow. Praying for the team and for the Director.
Praying!
Oh dear Lord. Praying. So broken.
Yes I will….so tragic. so thankful for my China angels.
This just breaks my heart even more…praying so hard. I was not able to participate in the fast on Friday, but I am praying for you all.
Why the young have to suffer sometimes at the hands of those who know better…I just will never understand, but things like this keep pushing me to fight for those who cannot even when our world wonders why we are…how can we not!
having spent years helping run a pregnancy center i know what can happen when tiny children are blamed, unwanted or used for horrific selfish purposes. it is unspeakable but praise God we can tell our Abba, father everything. I will pray for this dear lady, the director and for DW whose heart must be breaking this moment. Only the abiding love and the arms of Jesus can heal this sweet baby boy and that is where he is right now. Someday, Linny, you can love him in Heaven and give him the cuddles and kisses he so deserved!Bless you and DW for all the precious lives you touch! Love, Lynn Marie

Horrific…."Oh Father, we need You…please be with DW, the Director and all who are involved…heal their hurting hearts and eyes for what they have seen. Be with them, flooding them with Your Peace, Love and Endurance. We praise You for this precious lamb that is now in Your Arms. Please bless Linny today with sweet blessings of Your love for her. We thank you for what You are going to do in all this. In Jesus Name, Amen"

"I Said a Prayer For You Today"
I said a prayer for you today
and know God must have heard.
I felt the answer in my heart,
although He spoke no word.
I didn't ask for wealth or fame.
I knew you wouldn't mind.
I asked Him to send treasures
of a far more lasting kind.
I asked that He'd be near you
at the start of each new day.
To grant you health and blessings
and Friends to share your way.
I asked for happiness for you
in all things great and small.
But it was for His loving care
I prayed the most of all
I simply can not even form the words on my lips to express my sadness at the loss of a sweet child of God and the pain he had gone thru. I am praising God he is now playing at the feet of Jesus with no fears or pain. But still my heart is broken that this can even happen. I am praying for comfort and for healing and for peace for everyone.
a ray of hope… our daughter was found in similar conditions at the age of four… we are now in the process of adopting her at ten, healthy and happy. we give thanks to those who helped care for her and raise her in the intervening years
It's so hard to comprehend these sorts of things. It's one thing to turn a blind eye to the hurting kids in the world – that alone hurts so much to think about, but that people can be capable of unspeakable acts like this????!! It makes be feel sick. People's coments are right, this little treasure is now playing at the feet of Jesus feeling the most amazing peace and comfort – that's a blessing, but it still hurts. I will pray for everyone involved, I can't imagine.
Cannot even fathom what they witness on a daily basis!! Lord God let it grieve US DAILY so that we will pray to You who has limitless power to STOP such things….Praying.
Why would someone maim a child? Is it related to some sort of ritual? I can't see abandoning a child, but even that is better than maiming….I think. How heartbreaking.
oh Linny!
i just do not understand the sin-filled nature of man!
Praying for everyone involved.
Hugs!

oh my heart. tears, tears, tears.
yes, will continue to pray & even more today. may they feel that…so much hope, comfort and love as we surround them in prayer.
So horrible! Poor Baby! Very grateful that he is in the arms of Jesus now. Praying for DW,the team, the Director and others who tried to save the baby.
Tears …
Praying.
Yes, I will. It is a blessed but tough calling for sure!
Praying… with an aching heart…
Thank you for sharing your heartache. My heart aches for the orphans and wounded children in our world. Only the Lord can truly comfort at moments like these. So thankful for all the prayers that are being said on the broken's behalf. God bless you and your family.
I have no words…….my tears will not stop flowing, my heart is so broken. I will continue to pray……without ceasing…….
