Jaime,Michelle,Kaylah and Gabriel Angel are gifts to our family. They adopted Billy and I as their parents and added us as Nana and Papa to Kaylah and Gabriel when they became parents. They are faithful to be at all family holiday and birthday gatherings. I always get special Mother's Day gifts from them. But today, I received a really special gift. When I walked into Gabriel's hospital room, he looked at me with tired but beautiful eyes and said " Hi, Nana." Gabriel has been very sick this week with bacterial pneumonia and the flu. He has been in ICU and now CCU at Texas Children's Hospital. In spite of the wonderful outpouring of love and prayer from a lot of friends, all of us were more than concerned. Do I dare say, worried? Yes. Mom and Dad are exhausted but thankful for the improvement that we see in his little body. He has been on many prayer lists in several states. I don't begin to understand how our prayers and especially our collective prayers move the hand of God to heal. I don't understand how some are healed and others are not. I don't understand how some suffering is allowed to stay in innocent children even when we pray. But, I know that I know that my God is good. I know he loves Gabriel, Kaylah ( she can't even go to the hospital) Michelle and Jaime. I believe His words that He hears our prayers and that Jesus defeated our enemies (sickness ++++) on the cross.
Friends, please pray and pray often for yourselves and others to be protected from this enemy of sickness. Pray that "No weapon formed against us can prosper" Pray Psalm 91 . The Message
Psalm 91:9-11..Yes, because God's your refuge, the High God your very own home, Evil can't get close to you, harm can't get through the door. He ordered his ANGELS to guard you wherever you go. If you stumble, they'll catch you, their job is to keep you from falling....

Dad's Lessons from the Sandlot
Dad's Lessons from the Sandlot was written in 2006, two years before Billy Crain passed away suddenly on June 3, 2008. He never got the book published, but our family felt inpired and led by God to find a publisher and get the book in printed from. The book uses the transparency of Billy's baseball stories to expose God's hand in the details of our lives. The ultimate journey leads us to see God is in our stories and to train us to recognize it is really HIS STORY in our humanity. To order your copy today contact jennifercrain@sbcglobal.net.
