This One's for Caleb

As we go about our daily routines, we find it easy to overlook or discount things or complain about our circumstances. We find it easy until we hear someone's story like Caleb.

Caleb is the six year old son of my husband's coworker. A vibrant, inquisitive, intelligent little boy to say the least. A smile that lights up a room, and warms the coldest of hearts. He has been diagnosed with a rare, inoperable type of brain cancer. News like that can really cause one to examine his/her own circumstances and realize very quickly that "hey, I actually have it pretty good!"

In a very short amount of time, I have seen a small circle of friends reach out, spread the word, and get folks praying all over the world thru a Facebook group page (Praying for Caleb (Team Caleb). Last count was 1422 Members in 15 Countries - Africa, Belgium, Ethiopia, Hong Kong, Germany, Sweden, Mexico, Costa Rica, Panama, Korea, Canada, The Philippines, China, The United Kingdom & The United States of AMERICA (GA, SC, NC, AL, TX, VA, CO, IA, IN, NM, FL, TN, MA, CA, MO, OH, WI, MI, KS, UT,IL, AZ, OR, WA, SD, ND, NV, MD, NY, ID, PA, NE, HI, OK & MS). Another site: http://www.team-caleb.com/ has also been set up to allow readers to donate "caps and coins" to Caleb and for the family to give updates.

I do not write this to solicit donations, though I do encourage if you are able or feel so led to do so, but I write to solicit prayers. Please include Caleb in your daily prayers. Give God the glory for the miracle in advance. I believe in a God of Grace, a God of Love, a God of Miracles. He is more powerful than cancer. He is bigger than anything. Our Lord raised Lazarus from the dead...FROM THE DEAD!! He can do anything. There are many who are standing in the gap for Caleb, and his family. Please join us as we go to God on Caleb's behalf!
