Heartbreaking, Yet Inspiring

Tonight I watched the following heartbreaking and yet inspiring story of 5 year old Kate McRae.

As I read through Kate’s story and stared at the photos of this beautiful, little girl and her family, I thought about how amazing it was that I was even reading her story. How because of the Internet and ‘Social Media’, my faith is again strengthened by the challenges of a family I’ve never met.

Kate’s family has a profound faith and they ask that we join with them in prayer. So tonight I am joining with thousands to pray for a miracle of healing for Kate. Please join us.

    Very heartbreaking… Thank You for sharing this story. This family is in my prayers. God is great!

    Lord I pray you lay your hands on Kate and heal her tumor. Be with her family in their time of need and send your angels to watch over them. Amen

    I just read her story through your link and my heart goes out to Kate, as well as her family. I cannot imagine what they must be going through…what a huge shock for them. I’ll keep them in my prayers.

    I, too, have been following this story for a few days. I first heard of it on fb. My heart breaks because as a Mom, we never want to face something like this. Thank you for posting it and we must continue to pray!

    Thank you Susan for sharing this story. I have posted on my blog about this, tweeted, stumbled, and added it to my fb. I hope this helps get the word out. And, of course, I will pray.
