Charly is suffering breakthrough pain. Her family are torn and distraught. Please pray as the Lord leads you.
Thank you

Psalm 56 v 8
You keep track of all my sorrows. You have collected all my tears in your bottle. You have recorded each one in your book.

OH God Bless this child! And if it would bring Thee the most Glory oh LORD: please SPARE HER LIFE.

I lost my little boy not many months hence; he would have been 3 years old in August... I know what this is... I know, and I am praying.

Sincerely,
Doug

Dear Lord, PLEASE reach down into this situation in Your loving mercy! May Your highest purposes be accomplished...in Jesus' name....

Dietolive - I grieve to think of your pain....I have 2 prodigal sons and it is about to kill me at times...may the Lord heal your aching heart as only He can...

This has to be one of the most hard and hurtful things to go though in life. My heart breaks for you both and my prayers for you both. Praying His arms of love around both.

amen amen and amen

Father, only You can bring peace in this situation.
We ask You to help this family.

Any word on Charly?

Her Mother gave the following message to us

"At around 1am this morning I whispered something to Charly about it being okay if she was scared. She summoned all of her strength to reach up and cup my chin in her hand and whisper "I am not a scaredy cat". She dropped her hand into her daddies and squeezed his thumb. Through our tears we told her how much we loved her, the way we have done for as long as I can remember "I love you to the moon and back, infinity times" and eyes closed Charly mumbled in reply, as she always has done; "love you to the door and back..... infinity times.... same distance". Then she tugged on Jacks arm, pulling him in close and slowly drifted back to an uneasy sleep. We are stunned that she was able to muster so much strength but are so thankful and honoured that she did.

She has not opened her eyes or responded to us since, her grip on our hands finally relaxed around 7am and shortly after her breathing became far more shallow and infrequent, it is accompanied by terminal congestion commonly known as the "death rattle". It's not going to be long now, please just pray for comfort and a peaceful passing.
We are praying for her to let go, to be out of pain, but with all my heart I am dreading that last breath"

A follow up message was received at 1.08 am CET which just said " She's gone"

Those who knew this little girl are heart broken and take consolation in the fact that we are not told not to sorrow, but to not sorrow as those who have no hope.

The family of Charly need your prayers to help with their grief.

Charles

Thank you Charles, for letting us know our little sister is in the arms of Jesus now.

My heart is filled with deep respect for Charly, as well for her parents.
Reading about the way she was dealing with her suffering and pain, her life was, and will be, an example to me.
I am so touched by it all, tears are overflowing.
Praying the Lord to comfort her parents now, He is the GREAT COMFORTER, the only One who can understand such deep pain and grief. And who is able to give His peace in their hearts.
Amen to Psalm 56:8 - Yes all tears are in His bottle and in His book.-

Shalom,
browny.

Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for Charly, and for using her for your glory. Please LORD bring healing to this family and comfort their hearts.

Praying for doug too

I just can't imagine the pain of this.

There will be many bottles filled with tears....Thank you Jesus, for those precious last moments that the parents can cherish in their hearts....I have often thought that losing a believing child to death HAD to be easier than losing a prodigal child to the world - now I am not so sure....but whatever path the Lord calls us to, we can be sure that His ways are past finding out....

Pls give love and hugs to the family...will be praying for them as they move forward into unknown territory....

Dear Charles,

Please convey my heart, and my deepest sympathy and sincere regards to the family. Please thank them for sharing little Charly with us; some of her story with us... She was a PRECIOUS child, was she not?

Surely - just as Charly was borne up to Glory on angel's wings, so you are being lifted up by the prayers of God's people all around the world. Know that many are praying for you now.

I wrote the following after my own bereavement. All who come to see my son's grave read this:

A Brief Time Our Lives He Blest
A Sweet Little Boy We Loved;
In the Saviour's Bosom Rests
Happy Forever With God.

I trust precious Charly now abides there too.

God give you peace, and hasten the Day of our reunion with our children. Amen.

In the Love of Christ,
Doug

Christian love to you too, Doug....My heart breaks for you both....

May the Lord, may His very Spirit, reach down right now and grab a hold of your sons. May He gently, but firmly push their hearts back towards Himself. May He show them their great Spiritual NEED this very hour.

Bless your heart ma'am.

God be with you!
Doug

Dear mama27
I just wanted to encourage you. I was raised by Christian parents and when I was a teenager I went into the world. I got into many really bad things, and got myself into one big mess. Satan had a tight grip on me in many ways.
My mother used to quote scripture to me whenever the opportunity arose, to which I responded badly, I used to yell at her to stop preaching at me and say I just didn’t want to her it. I am ashamed to say that I used to mock at Christians. Well my Mum and Dad never gave up on me and they prayed for me everyday for quite few years. Anyway to cut a long story short I gave my life to the lord around 6 years ago. The Lord has given me a new heart, and changed my whole life around, and my world view. Unfortunately sin bears consequences and I have to live with those consequences today, but I can rejoice because my heavenly father directs my path and guides my steps, and even when I get it totally wrong and make silly mistakes the Lord shows me a way out. So be encouraged and pray for your sons (im sure you already are).

My sister and brother also went into the world and they too have given their lives to the Lord now.

God is so good and merciful

Blessings to you

I don't want to take from the prayers for Charly...

Bless you, Doug, and Keepstanding....it is an incredibly difficult thing to watch and to bear....I don't quote Scripture anymore....I just pray. I am curious how many years it took for you and your siblings to come back to the Lord, Keepstanding ? Thank you for your prayers - I know it will and can be only God in their lives. Maybe had they not strayed, I would have taken some of the credit :(

I don’t feel that I personally came to salvation until I was 22yrs, my sister was 26yrs and my brother came to the Lord this past year at age 20yrs

She is not dead, but sleepeth...

Also your little boy, Doug.

...I feel your loss in my own heart; "we are members one of another."

Ops sorry didn't mean to take over the thread.

Charly sounds like she was a real testimony, and the Lord used her greatly in her short life.

Will continue to pray for Charlys family

Love and Blessing to you

You didn't take over the thread Keepstanding...thank you for sharing the ages....my prodigal sons are 19 and 26 which is why I asked....Mama27

Anyone who does not think a little child shall lead them should read this entry from Charly's online guestbook from 18 months ago.

Well Charly, what can I say.
You are a massive inspiration to me, there are many times I have been trying at something, and I just can't do it, and I almost give up. But then I remember you, with all your innocence, fighting a disease of which even it's name strikes fear into a grown mans heart.
Before I met you and your family, I scorned religion. I laughed at those who relied on God, and made jokes about their beliefs.
Then I watched one night as your mum and dad were on their knee's by your bed, praying with everything they had. It wasn't funny. I watched as every barrier you came against you knocked down, I listened as you said that the Lord would help you through, that Jesus would hold your hand. That wasn't funny either.
Do you remember that night on the ward when I stood and watched you pray, you asked me if I'd like to join in. On the verge of saying no, I stopped, and I joined you.
You prayed for your Mum and Dad, for your big brother too. You prayer for the healing of every child, you prayed for me, you prayed for everything, but there was one thing missing from those prayers, one name on the lips of everyone who reads this journal, your own. I was shocked that you did not even pray for yourself, when you were going through so much, you thought only of others.
Charly, that night when I got home I cried more than I have ever cried in my life before. And for the very first time, I prayed, I prayed for you, the one thing missing from your prayer was covered by me. That night I begged God for his forgiveness, and I asked him to do as your Mum and Dad trust him to do.
The next Sunday I went to Church, I stood in the doorway and watched from a far. The priest came over to me and we spoke for a while, I told him of my reason for coming, and he told me a little about himself too.
So Charly, I no longer scorn religion, I don't laugh at believers, because I am one now, I have found peace, love and happiness, in the very last place I'd have thought to look. Whilst I no longer treat you anymore, I will always remember you and your family, as the ones who showed me how to truly live.
You are and always will be my hero.

Yours faithfully, Nurse Reeves

And to me. Bless God Forever... Amen.

I can only cry in humble and profound awe.....Thank you ever so much for sharing. "Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit." Jn 12:24

Thank you Lord for the live of little Charly. You have used her for your own glory
