Two days ago I asked for prayer for a little eight year-old girl named Emma. Thanks to all who prayed and wrote. Your words, and the knowledge that you were praying were a great comfort to many.

I want you to know that the Lord called Emma out of her mortal body, and her spirit is no longer on this earth. We thank the Lord that Emma had a vibrant profession of faith and we have every expectation that she is rejoicing in the presence of Him who is not only the Great Physician, but the Savior of Mankind. She suffers no more from the horrors of cancer. Now I ask for your prayers for her mother and father, Mr. and Mrs Littlefield. The loss of a child is an unimaginable pain—one that any of us might someday have to live with, if we have not done so already. Just take a moment today and bring our brother and sister in Christ and their family before the throne of Grace, and let us fulfill Jesus’ command to bear one another’s burdens.
