[Faith-talk] prayer for restored sanity

[Barbara Hammel]

I must tell you, I've felt you all praying.  Last night he slept all night 
and tonight I was able to shut his door all the way and he didn't cry.  It's 
definitely getting better.
You see, when he gets sick and knows we'll come to him, he wakes four or 
five times a night screaming at the top of his lungs.  Then he starts not 
sleeping most of the night and is drowsy all day.  Then he just hits a wall 
because he's so tired--we don't let him sleep during the day--so then he 
starts sleeping more.  Just now he let out one cry to see what we'd do.
Every time he gets sick we go through this same routine.
Barbara




Through the sunny fields of yesterday
Echo voices of children now grown,
Their golden peals of laughter
Ring upon the ivied stone.

Hi, I'm Joshua Lester. I don't know everyone on this list personally,
but I always pray for those who ask for it, and put them on our prayer
list at church. I'm praying for you, and I hope to hear from you soon.
Mrs. Barbara, please post an update whenever you get the chance.
Thanks, Joshua
