small favor to ask

Hello, my name is Traci, I am a friend of the family... I do my best to keep this blog updated for Jacob and Rebecca to give them as much focus on Claire as possible. So this is me Traci, asking you, friends and family of the Hales to do me (them) a favor.  Three years ago my husband and I almost lost our son and my myself due to being born 12 weeks premature and other complications, through all the highs and lows we too were surrounded by prayers and support like Jacob and Rebecca. We asked this small favor and it blessed us in ways we never could have imagined... the Lord has put it on my heart to do this same thing for the Hales, but I need your help...  Could you send me an email with your first name and city, I will compile them all and it will be a comfort to see just how many people, even complete strangers, prayed for them... Send it to freckles279@hotmail.com.  Also pass this request along to others that you have shared this story with and are praying even if you don't know the Hales personally...
Thank you for your time, thank you for caring so much. Jacob and Rebecca's faith through these years is nothing short of inspiring and encouraging. Please take a moment to consider this request. May God bless you and your family with health and quality time with your own loved ones. 
Sincerely, Traci 

To those who gave

To all of you (you know who you are...)who have been so generous to send monies to The Hales family, I wanted to take a moment to say Thank You. Thank you for your generosity and kindness to reach out to this beautiful and faith filled family. All of the kindness adds up and together we were able to save aside some monies for the Hales. I know some of you who donated have never and will never meet Claire or her family, but were led by the Lord to give. I personally prayed over each of you as the donations came in. And I just wanted to say Thank you on behalf of the Hales family! Thank you, to those who gave. Thank you to those who prayed and are still praying. Claire is not on "the the other side" of this by any means... but we rest in the peace of the Holy Spirit and God's will and timing. He has it all in His hands and has great plans for Claire and her precious family. Thank you for the support prayers and donations to the Hales.
With love, Traci

THANK YOU

Hello, this is Traci. I wanted to thank everyone who has donated funds through this blog. The funds are in a donation account set up in honor of the Hales family.
On their behalf I would like to say Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. If you are like me, you have been inspired and encouraged by their steadfast faith in the Lord, no matter what.
Please stand with me and continue to pray about ways to encourage, speak life and hope into their lives and bless them in whatever form you are able. The Hales are a bright light in a dark world as friends and family lets walk along side them in their time of need and not forget about all they are still going through.
Romans 12:12 says
Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer.
Thank you again for those who have already donated, you are a blessing to the Hales. The Hales clearly have a large circle of amazing family and friends... THANK YOU.
Sincerely,
Traci
