Baby Copeland

For the past few weeks I have been following the blog of a family in TN. They found out in June that the baby girl they were expecting had a chromosomal abnormality called Trisomy 18. (T-18 babies usually only live hours or days) http://www.conorbootheandgirls.blogspot.com/ I urge you, if you are willing, to pray for this family. Their courage and absolute faith in God's plan are humbling and awe-inspiring at the same time. The mom, Boothe, is the granddaughter of Everett & Peggy Blanton, who were ministers and elder at our church for many years. I love them dearly and even though I don't know their granddaughter, I have fallen in love with this amazing family, especially, their new baby daughter, Copeland, who was born Sept. 18 and against dr.'s predictions, went home from the hospital yesterday. However, she still has T-18, so her time on earth will be short. But, God is so good and His ways are above our ways, and He is using this precious baby to touch the lives of literally thousands of people, thru the internet. Check it out, you will be blessed.
PS...it kinda puts worries about gerbils and inconsiderate friends into perspective.
