Double ear infections and a distant daddy

Posted on Friday 30 March 2007 by Greg @ 2:23 pm
Filed under: Rants

I hate getting bad news about a sick kid when I’m over a thousand miles away. Jeremy, my six year old, has a double ear infection. I wish I could be there to help out. But I’m in Chicago about to do a conference. It’s not like he’s going to fight it out on his own. Debbie is right there by his side to give him Motrin and antibiotics…and a whole lot of mommy lovin’ and huggin’.

Even though I’m a couple states away there are two things I can do…pray and ask you to pray.

Will you pray for my little boy to make a quick and complete recovery? I’ll let him know that thousands of teens, adults and youth leaders from across the nation are praying for him. The Great Physician can take better of him that Kaiser Permanente. Amen? Amen!

Thank you!

Signed, Greg Stier

    • Just wanted to let you know that I prayed for Jeremy, and Debbie, and you- that God would help you to stay focused and not to be worried about Jeremy. I too am a daddy and a youth minister so many times I am away when my children need me. So I can totally relate. I also wanted to let you know that our youth group was at the D2S conf. in Atlanta last weekend and we had an amazing experience throughout the weekend and even on the way home- when we stopped to gas up at a BP station outside the center. The clerk was a hindu and we were able to witness and share the gospel with him and another clerk near Macon. Many of my students had never actually shared Jesus with a stranger before, so it was an experience they will never forget! Since we went, one of my students cannot put your Dare2Share book down- future E team leader right? Anyway, I just wanted to let you know that and say thank you for challenging my students to be a part of God’s work there in Atlanta and the rest of the world. Please be in prayer for us as we are taking six senior hs students, 2 college students, and 5 adults including myself to Costa Rica next Saturday April 7- Friday April 13 to witness to the people of the villages of Mt. Irazu. It will be an amazing opportunity as we will be doing door to door evangelism, teaching children English in a school and sharing the gospel, and doing a kids club ministry in one of the villages. Many of these people have never heard the gospel before. Thanks for all you do!

    • I pray for Jeremy, Debbie, and your whole family.    I pray God helps your son feel better, provides your wife the everlasting patience it takes to take care of sick children, and allows the rest of the family to stay healthy.  I pray your family continues to be such a source of love and encouragement to you, and God renews all of your energy in the coming spring.  Tell Jeremy and Debbie we’re  praying for them both!  My daughters have been sick for a month with the flu and a virus and I can really understand how challenging it is for everyone in the fam.  Hope the conference was rockin.

    • I am really sorry about your son. I am praying! This weekend though I was at the Chicago conference and I made a phone call to my unsaved friend the last night and I didn’t lead him to Christ, but I got him to think about it and he said he is willing to keep talking to me about it. But thank you for letting me know this weekend that God is there to help me in every situation. And he will always be there. I had the courage to talk to a friend I never would have talked to if it weren’t for your ministry! Thanks! ~Kerri
