PRAY FOR NICHOLAS

Nic, my second grandson who lives in Tampa, won the Kid's 6 Year Old Gasparilla Run in Tampa, FL, this past Saturday morning. He is a fast, athletic little guy and usually rises to the top of the class in any athletic effort he is involved. He is great in soccer, baseball, football, and even loves tennis and swimming.

He is a good little boy, but he is having some real tough times in his personal life. I mention this so my dear friends will pray for him. He has faced several tough spots in his short six years that I won't go into, but the one you know about is his Nana's death. He has deep emotional hurts that have become very severe. 

Right now, Julie, his mom, has hung the large portrait that I had made of Kristy in Nic's bedroom. He is comforted by it being there with him. He recently told Julie that he wanted a nana. I am working on that, and in time Wanda will become a great nana for him.

Grandkids tug at your heart strings, and when one of them is hurting it is especially hard. Nic is a winner, and I believe he will do well in life. This has been a very hard place and time for him. It has also been very hard for Julie.

Julie said that Nic stumbled when the Gasparilla Run began, but then he caught up and won the race. That is often how life is. We stumble and wonder if we can even cross the finish line, but with God's help we can. Nic will win in life too, but he is really hurting right now.

Nic needs special prayer. Will you pray for little Nic today? Your prayers can make the difference.

  1. Dear Lord:

    Please help our dear Nic. I know he is sorrounded by a lot of loving people. Lord let him know how much you love him and be his best buddy. Guide him in his path. Cover his life with angels and take care of him in every single step in his young life. Develop in him the character and personality you want him to be for your glory. I know you have a great future for him and he will do greatly. In Jesus' name. AMEN.

  5. I will be praying for little Nic. It is so very hard losing someone you love so dearly. It's hard enough for adults to understand, but children really don't comprehend the pain of it all. He will be in my prayers
