prayers needed for the Rockhill family

Please pray for the Rockhill family.  Contractions have started, and they suspect labor is beginning.

Baby Delia,  you are loved.

By way of reminder: their baby has been diagnosed with anencephaly, a condition that is incompatible with life.  See her blog here for more information and pictures of their sweet family.

May God uphold them during this most difficult time.



PhotobucketIt is not death to die,
To leave this weary road,
And midst the brotherhood on high
To be at home with God.



It is not death to fling
Aside this sinful dust
And rise, on strong, exulting wing,
To live among the just.

Jesus, Thou Prince of Iife,
Thy chosen cannot die;
Like Thee, they conquer in the strife
To reign with Thee on high.
