Prayer for Lila Pearl

My great friend Mark Barad and his wife Pasquale had a little girl in June - Lila Pearl. We hear she has a serious medical problem that so far has resisted a real diagnosis. Doctors and parents are working hard to manage the situation and there is no sense they can develop of how things are going to turn out. In these cases, Mark says, some children's trouble resolves and some children's trouble gets worse. Lila Pearl is on my mind every day and I pray for her as I do for my own girls. Nothing seems so precious as the health of these little lives.
