Gr*8phul this Christmas
Dec 22, 2007

Man, this time of year can be busy...busy...busy, but no matter how fast paced things get I constantly find myself with reasons to be gr8phul. When I look at my precious 14 month old or snuggle in at night to my sweet hearted husband, or any other number of heart warming moments each day--I am reminded of how much I have to be gr8phul for. And it's not a grattitude that is fleeting, I am talking about a grattitude that rocks me to the core of who I am.

Today I learned about a little 14 month old boy named Hunter and his fight with cancer. I can't imagine what he must be thinking of or all that is going on in his little world, and my heart breaks for his parents and what they are facing. At our house we have chosen to take Hunter's story personally, to not just let it be forgotten like all the other stories that are constantly coming in and out of view. We are praying for Hunter and all things related to his care, personally.

There is a line in the movie Hotel Rwanda that still haunts me. When a reporter says that people will respond and something will be done once the story of the genocide gets out, the other reporter says that people will hear the story and then go on with their lives... forgetting. Uggggggg!!! Why is it until something is personal we don't move to action? That challenges me and pushes me to want to be a person of action and prayer.

The picture below is little Hunter. Also here is a link to the site Healing Hunter where you can learn more about his story and make a donation if you would like. Even just leave an encouraging word for his parents.
