Prayer Request - Piper's Buddy Garrett Went Home

Phone Call ^ | January 29, 2007 | HiJinx

[Fawnn]

Sad news. My thoughts are with his family -- and praying that Piper is able to understand and cope with the sad passing of her friend.

May Garrett rest in God's peace.

Prayers for and condolences to his family and friends.

[Dad yer funny]

Prayers , from a Dad

[HiJinx]

Thank you, from a Dad...grand-dad...friend.

[Spunky]

How sad. Prayers going up for the good Lord to comfort the family in this time of sorrow.

[StarCMC]

Oh Jinxie, I am so sorry. Please pass on my condolences. If you can, listen to this song. It helped me thru a really tough time, and still brings tears to my eyes. *HUG*

 

With Hope

(Click the candle for music)

Now you are gone away
Left us with the memories of your smile
And nothing we can say
And nothing we can do
Can take away the pain
The pain of losing you,
but...
We can cry with hope
We can say goodbye with hope
'Cause we know our goodbye is not the end,
And we can grieve with hope
'Cause we believe with hope
There's a place where we'll see your face again
Through the cloud of tears
I see the Father's smile and say well done
And I imagine you
Where you wanted most to be
Seeing all your dreams come true
'Cause now you're home
And now you're free,
and...
We have this hope as an anchor
'Cause we believe that everything
God promised us is true,
so...
We wait with hope
We ache with hope
We hold on with hope
We let go with hope

Some of these innocents are too good for this world; they belong with their Father in heaven, waiting until we join them in years to come.

[Faith]

Holy Father,

We confess that our hearts are broken and that we do not understand. Perhaps one day we will see more plainly when we meet You face to face. But until that glorious time, we must simply trust, knowing that You are sovereign. We commit little Garrett to You, knowing that he can be in no safer place than in the arms of the Loving God who created him. Father, comfort the hearts of his family members. How difficult it must be to let him go home to You; yet surely You know the sorrow of losing a Son. Holy Lord, send forth Your ministering spirits to comfort them and to sustain them as they mourn this precious child. We trust in You, Father, to supply all their needs. In the Name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

It's a certain thing that they'll be spared a lot of its heartache.

Smart lad, to slip betimes away
From fields where glory does not stay ...

[Faith]

I am so sorry for the loss of your son. May others gain comfort from you as you extend your support and understanding. God bless you.

[fatima]

We will pray on the air tom.So sorry,fatima

[RebelBanker]

So many people opened their hearts to my wife and I after we lost our little boy that I feel that the least I can do is to try to help others in the same way.

I am not sure if Spider Robinson swiped the quote, but a character in one of his books says, "Shared pain is lessened, but shared joy is multiplied."

[Faith]

May the Lord reward your faithfulness and compassion.

[PhiKapMom]

Prayers sent for everyone that this little boy touched.

[luvie]

I feel so bad for Garrett's family. That has to be the worst nightmare in the world.

Has anyone said anything to Piper?

[HiJinx]

I truly do not know yet...Nana and I asked ourselves the same question.

I can't imagine how or when they will tell her, or what they'll say. How do you tell a 3 year old her buddy is gone?

[luvie]

It will be a very delicate situation all right, but
I know that her parents are wise...as are her Poppa and
Nana, and they will, with God holding their hands, be
able to say the right thing at the right time to that sweet little girl.

It's just so, so sad!

[MonicaG]

Garrett already had an angelic smile, what a sweetheart. Prayers for Piper and the whole family during this time.

[SandRat]

They really need to see all the supplications for their assurance of GOD's unending AGAPE from all their Earthly and one day Heavenly Brothers and Sisters in the body of our Lord GOD above.

[MonicaG]

I'm sorry about your son; so sad.
