Just heard a song that was new to me. (Does it refer to an autistic child? I don't know. But the words just got to my heart.
He's My Son
Mark Schultz
I'm down on my knees again tonight,
I'm hopin' this prayer will turn out right.
See, there is a boy that needs Your help.
I've done all that I can do myself
His mother is tired,
I'm sure You can understand.
Each night as he sleeps
She goes in to hold his hand,
And she tries
Not to cry
As the tears fill her eyes.
Can You hear me?
Am I getting through tonight?
Can You see him?
Can You make him feel all right?
If You can hear me
Let me take his place some how.
See, he's not just anyone, he's my son.
Sometimes late at night I watch him sleep,
I dream of the boy he'd like to be.
I try to be strong and see him through,
But God, who he needs right now is You.
Let him grow old,
Live life without this fear.
What would I be
Living without him here?
[ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/hes-my-son-lyrics-mark-schultz.html ]
He's so tired,
And he's scared
Let him know that You're there.
Can You hear me?
Am I getting through tonight?
Can You see him?
Can You make him feel all right?
If You can hear me
Let me take his place some how.
See, he's not just anyone, he's my son.
Can You hear me?
Am I getting through tonight?
Can You see him?
Can You make him feel all right?
If You can hear me
Let me take his place somehow.
See, he's not just anyone.
Can You hear me?
Can You see him?
Please don't leave him,
He's my son.

Welcome to all our new prayer partners! Asking for prayer for my son, Allen. He is going to be flying back to his station overseas tomorrow. He is going to be leaving his wife and two daughters until May, 2011. That is when his deployment is over and then he isn't sure where he will be stationed after that. Things are still very rocky and unsure with his marriage. His wife is not being very understanding and cooperative as a military wife. Please pray for them and their marriage.
Praying for all of you here and requests. Praying for all of our military.
Thank you!

blondie: i can sort of relate to that. My wife has told me many a time that she wants to be here with me so that we can live our lives together just like we did before she enlisted, but i support her for doing something like this.

Blondie, I'll definitely say a pray for your daughter. I'm sure that that's a decision that's very hard to make, but if she prays to the Father, He'll bring her at peace and help her make the decision that's right for her. I'll be saying a prayer for her and the family. Positive vibes and God Bless
