Thank you, most high God, for your love, patience and blessings. May whoever is reading this be cared for and blessed. Let them know that they are who they are supposed to be, where they are supposed to be and that they are a wonderful creation. Also, LORD, we would ask for a successful surgery for Gabe. Let him be healed and give the doctors the skill they need to accomplish this. Give him and his family strength, and patience to endure this. Thank you, Jesus, Amen.
