Prayer Request

Please pray for this family as they go through this difficult time, that they may see God's will in it all:

Hey, Todd,
We have some sad news. We had a miscarriage yesterday morning. We had a sonogram on Friday and no longer saw the baby's heartbeat, so we knew ahead of time what was to be. Friday night, while putting our daughter to sleep, I said a rosary for the baby I knew we were going to "lose". I said a small prayer before the rosary telling God that I didn't understand why this was happening, but whatever His reason was, I would deal with it with faith, not with anger as I had done in the past when bad things happened. I prayed that he would take our baby's soul to His kingdom and care for it like no one else could. I woke up yesterday morning and knew right away what was happening. I was hysterical to say the least. My husband was really upset, too, but, as usual, he was the rock that I so needed at the time. I honestly don't know how he does it. On the way to the hospital we saw a beautiful rainbow. It was not an arched rainbow like you see in pictures or postcards. This rainbow was like nothing I had ever seen. It was a huge rainbow that spanned from the earth to the Heavens. I knew right away it was God's way of telling us not to worry. He had taken our baby Home. I had to share this with you because so often your words inspire me to be a better person - or to try to be better, anyway. We knew you would appreciate the way God communicated with us - that is what we truly believe. Anyway, my other reason for sharing this with you is to ask for your prayers and to ask you to post a prayer request on the Sainthood site. Right now (and I guess always) we can use all the prayers we can get. Thanks, Todd. This email, even though I am crying while typing it, has been somewhat therapeutic.
