Please
offer a prayer for married couples with chronically ill kids. Pray that
they find God's grace and draw strength from the sacrament of marriage
to face the daily challenges of raising special needs kids. Pray that
God gives them peace and comfort through the sacrament of marriage and
the courage to work on the problems they face together with God at the
center.
It is SO hard to work on a marriage when life seems to revolve
around one medical challenge, surgery or illness after another. Often times, we keep our heads down dealing with the medical crisis at hand and forget to think about our marriage. Sometimes, we forget to place God at the center.
On my Catholic Tea Party Hippie blog, I just wrote about a family who lost their health insurance because of Obamacare. I cannot imagine it, though the reality scares me. I'm offering an extra prayer for those folks today- we know there are thousands of people losing their insurance, many with chronically ill kids. Pray for their situation to improve, but also pray for their marriages. The stress can be unbearable.
