Answered Prayer

With moving in about 20 days, it's obvious I have a million things to do. But all I want to do is sit here and hold my precious blessing in the form of Samuel. Especially since two parents cannot do that today.

Today, our awesome God answered the countless prayers for our sweet boy. With our eyes flooded with tears & loving arms holding him close, today Isaac Jordan Leino went home to Jesus. At 5:10p, God healed our son & gave him a new body, free of defects, tubes, & alarms. While our heavy hearts grieve the loss of our precious child, our spirits find peace & hope know he now stands face to face with our Savior, worshipping in His presence. What a bittersweet joy is found in trusting him into the arms of Jesus.
My heart grieves for these friends as they are faced with one of the hardest things this earth has to offer. But right along side this grief is a joy that surpasses all understanding. They are confident that they will spend eternity with their boy when they as well pass on from this life to the next. What a great place heaven will be!

I have been so blessed to be a witness to this story and watch as God moves through so many around the world and brings people to a deeper understanding of him and his love. I cannot even imagine how many lives have been effected by this family.

Please pray for this family as they transition into the next stage. That they find an overwhelming sense of peace and that they find rest in God.
