Pray

**Update: The baby was born at 2:30am this morning. Tony came out and told them "she is beautiful and perfect." They named her, Alethia (meaning Truth) Joy. They are planning on having a memorial service at their church on Sunday. Keep praying for them. This is going to be a hard road for them to travel.

*Update: The baby has indeed gone home to be with the Lord. They have induced Charity so please pray for them tonight. Pray that the time they have with their little girl would be precious and the God of all comfort would be near their hearts.

Please lift my dear friends from Emmaus up before the Throne of Grace. Tony and Charity have just found out that their baby girl who was due to be born any day now does not have a heart beat. I can't imagine the pain they are feeling right now, but they desperately need your prayers.

That is so sad Marcie. I don't know them either, but I can't even imagine the pain they are going through right now. I'll definitely be praying for them.

Marcie -- Thanks for posting this. I met Charity one summer when I helped at Willowbrook, and I can't imagine what they are going through right now.

thanks for posting the updates Marcie! you're wonderful! one correction is that Alethia is from the greek word meaning "Truth". Beautiful name for that beautiful baby girl...
