Erik

Sweetie Pie!

He was so cute. I took him out of his carseat and he gave me these big smiles.

My nephew, Erik, is back in the hospital. The pictures above were taken last night just about an hour before they had to take him to the hospital. I took him out of his carseat and he was just so happy, he gave me a huge smile. He kept smiling so I grabbed my cell phone. Of course, he kept moving, so these pictures are sort of blurry, but you get the point. Anyway, Erik has lost some weight and the doctors are concerned. He was already small to begin with, only 9 lbs. 6 oz. at a year old, but he dropped down to 8 lbs. 12 oz. The doctor wants to run a battery of tests to see what could be causing his weight loss. Also, he has what appears to be small seizures. So, he'll probably be seen by a neurologist. So, please pray for my little buddy. I already know he's a fighter, but as his Aunty, I hate seeing him be in the hospital. I just want him healthy. Maybe they can figure out what's wrong so he can start growing and maybe even start learning to crawl and eventually walk. Thank you for your time. Please pray.

Are you 100% sure you'll go to Heaven when you die.
The most important decision you'll ever make is to trust Jesus as your peronal Saviour!

1st:Realize you are a sinner.
"For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God."
Romans 3:23

2nd: Realize that a price must be paid for your sin.
"Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for all have sinned." Romans 5:12
"For the wages of sin is death..." Romans 6:23 (a)
"And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire." Revelation 20:14-15

3rd: Realize that Jesus paid the price!
"But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." Romans 5:8
"For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died according to the scriptures; and that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures." 1 Corinthians 15:3-4

4th: Repent! (Yes, repentance IS in the Bible).
"I tell you, Nay: but except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish." Luke 13:3
"For Godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death." 2 Corinthians 7:10

5th: Receive Christ!
"That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth, confession is made unto salvation." Romans 10:8-9
"For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." Romans 10:13

Are you willing to ask Jesus to be your Saviour? Then please ask Him to save your soul in a prayer like this:
"Lord Jesus, I know that I am a sinner. I deserve to go to hell. I now ask you to forgive me for my sins and save me. Please take me to Heaven when I die. Thank you for saving me! Help me now to live for you. In Jesus' name I ask, Amen."
You have to mean it in your heart, just saying a prayer (without a believing heart) will not save you. In John 14:6 it says "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth and the life. No man cometh unto the Father but by me."
