I’ve only taken the opportunity to look at your blog a couple times. I did link you though because I really liked what I saw.

So, even though I haven’t read enough to understand your specific needs, I will pray. Usually when someone online asks for prayer, I respond by praying online.

Dear Father, Son, and Holy Spirit,

I Thank You for Your grace and wisdom that I see in Dan’s writing. I ask that You would continue to guide and provide for he and his family. Please draw each of them closer to You, as they become more aware of their deep need for Your mercy, grace, and love.

I also ask that You would bring people and events into Dan’s life which would inspire him, or even surprise him, and remind him of Your love and Your awesome grace.

I ask that You would bless him by using him to touch others with kindness and acts of charity.

I don’t know if there are looming medical, financial, or other crises, but if there are, I commit them to Your loving care. May Your purposes be accomplished in challenges which befall Dan and his family. Even if there are difficult experiences which You deem necessary for some divine reason, I ask for Your mercy in those circumstances. Please encourage them along the way. AMEN

I’m so glad Robin H. pointed me to your blog. I’ve appreciated your insights. The comments on homeschooling were fascinating. I agreed with nearly all your observations and especially appreciated the relief from mild guilt I’ve felt for not homeschooling our kids. I was/am a good mom, but patience as a teacher was not one of my virtues, not to mention second grade math would have been a real challenge for me. ; )

We have four awesome kids—three of whom managed to graduate from college in spite of me, one just beginning high school. What a blessing from the Lord children are!

Blessings,
Deb
