Thread: Some prayers, please

Tweet

Lexi dear........a little personal advice based on YEEEEAAAAARRRRSSSS of experience: Don't let grandpa try to get away with that ol' trick of "here's one really nice gift for both your birthday and Christmas..."

Thanks guys! We had a great birthday party! Lexi is definitely Grandpa's girl, she asked last night if I thought we should start building her race car soon!!!! Her and Lisha have already laid claim to my pickup, the toter, the trailer, and now the 'Maro----Lexi wants it painted purple and pink!!! When these two get just a few years older I'll probably have to start asking for donations just to afford all their toys.....

Dave, I for sure don't post very often, but this moved my inner soul so much. In the early years the community that this crime was committed in would be allowed to handle this on their own. Good thing he was locked up. My prayers are with you and your family. Edward.

Thanks Edward....I tried to schedule a "visit" with the dude, unfortunately he was being held without bail... He has a long time left to go on his sentence and I'm quite sure his life in prison as a child abuser probably isn't that pleasant...

As this thread slowly fades back into the history on CHR, I again want to thank all of you who have and continue to show so much love and support to these 2 very special girls. Seems almost a lifetime ago that we rescued these two scared and broken little girls. I've had the distinct privilege of being here daily to watch them grow, learn, and slowly come out of the shell that abuse built around them and began to develop as normal, loved and loving children. Granted, I had to make countless "adjustments" to things I had planned for my retirement but I would do it all over again in a heartbeat!

Should you ever see or hear of other children in the same situation that Lexi and Lisha were in I implore you to get involved, and do everything you can to stop it! There are thousands of children everyday who suffer far worse abuse then these two did, and many of them slide through the cracks and wind up dead because someone was reluctant to get involved! Don't back off!! Saving our children is our last best hope for a future with any good in it! Thank you all very much, your support still continues to be invaluable.

Well said Dave – Just as I believe there is a place reserved below for those who harm the precious and most times defenseless children among us I too believe that God will bless you and your wife now and eternally for what you’ve done on behalf of these little girls. Every time I read this thread I tear up – yup great big always rough & ready on the outside but this story melts me as I think of my own precious grand kids and thank God for the parents they have.

I have so much respect for you and your wife. You are certainly living your faith and demonstrating God's love. I’ll continue to pray for God’s care and blessings for you all – especially during this wonderful holiday season.

His work is done in perfect timing! I believe the whole reason for us being on earth is to learn just that. Now that the situation is in good order one can look back through the whole process and see where he was at every step of the recovery procss. Even where he was going to eventually take your girls. I also think they have the Lords attention and the road to a wonderful life of learning and understanding is ahead of them.

My son was healed of severe epilepsy at age 6 after a tormented life up to that point. Today at 28 he is a wonderful God filled man and is a shinning example of everything that is good in life. These to girls of YOUR'S are on the same path to excellence and it was all set in motion by your love and understanding that prayer makes all the difference. May God keep them close and true! Thanks for this thread and your faith my friend. My prayer is for you. May you appreciate and rejoice in his perfect work every moment of every day. He is worthy!

Glenn, Bob, Bob and Bob and Dave, thank you so much for summing up how I and I certained all the CHR family here feel . Dave, you and your lovely wife have set an excellent example of Love for family we all need to stop and reflect on when our busy lifes are allowed to get ahead of what really matters, Love of Family and love of your Neighbour as Jesus instructed us to have when He did away with the Law of Moses.Again thanks...

True.

But we didn't have to.

You did.

And you've done it extremely well.

Sir: you are an honourable man.

And I salute you.
