Thumbs up Our prayer of Thanks

Lord,
Thank you for all the freedoms you have given us. The freedom to openly praise you, the freedom of speech, the freedom to assemble (even on the internet). But most of all Lord, thank you for choosing us to be parents to the most wonderful boys on this earth. Lord, you know they try my patience, but I love them will all my heart. Lord, thank you for this wonderful day and thank you for giving up your son for us.
Lord, could you please bless us one more time? Could you please let this Judge grant Memo his FREEDOM today. Lord, please let this Judge grant our adoption today. Let Memo learn what it is like to be free. Free to love you and free to be loved by us. In your name I pray Lord. Amen

ditto for you and your family. WE pray the Lord will bring a swift end of this for you. Pray for us as we decide on an agency this week. I am so afraid to try again....

Lord - we need those fireworks today. Please give us the news we have been waiting for. We know that you have your timing for everything. You know our hearts, you hear our prayers, we ask that you soften that Judges heart and let him sign off on Memos case today - allowing him to come home to Suzanne and family. Open up that communication that Suzanne so desperately needs right now. Show us you are hearing our prayers and also, give us the peace we need to understand that you are in control and you will take care of us and Memo.

In your name....
Amen

When more than one are gathered....

Suzanne - you know I am here and praying right along with you girl! Take Care You!!

I prayed for you & Memo on my "walk to Guratemala" this morning. But here goes again!

Lord, I too agree with Suzanne and the others--Let this be the day that the judge free's Memo to be adopted by the Lockharts. I too thank you for the many freedoms and blessings we enjoy because you caused us to be born in this wonderful country. You are good to us and we confidently come before you to ask you for Memo's case to be released so that he can be adopted.
In Jesus Name, Amen.

Suzanne, you know I'm here praying for you! You've been on my mind all weekend.

Lord, You say that if we cry out to You, You will hear our prayers and answer them. Lord, You know that Memo belongs with Suzanne and her family. Lord, please open the gates for this precious family. Lord, make your presence know to Suzanne, let her feel your arms of compassion around her and Memo. We don't always understand your timing Lord, but we know that you have plans for us. Lord, please rain showers of blessings upon Suzanne and her family.

In Jesus Name, Amen
