I am anticipating a time when Samuel's illness will lessen and his discouragement will increase. To help him get through this time ahead, I'd like to ask some of you to consider sending Samuel an email through the hospital's website....
http://www.fahc.org/General_Public/Volunteers/email.html.
I am told that the volunteers will print your note out on nice paper and deliver it to his room. You'll need to include the following information at the beginning of your email:
Samuel Smith
M315 PICU
Your name
If you'd prefer to snail mail him a note, the address is:
Samuel Smith / M315 PICU
c/o Fletcher Allen Health Care
111 Colchester Avenue
Burlington, VT 05401
I'm sure it would lift his spirits to know that many people are thinking of him and praying for him. With the Lord's help, and support from each other, we will get Samuel through this.
Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort; who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.
2 Corinthians 1:3,4

Dear Nancy,
Dear Samuel,
I just wanted you to know that we at Covenant OPC in Barre prayed together for Samuel on Sunday. It seems like there are more health related problems now than ever, and so many are serious. It must be very difficult to get through each day, continually prodded to be "happy" by the "holiday" spirit. We're earnestly praying that the Angel of the Lord will make that most precious gift of himself obvious and radiant in your little ICU suite today. Samuel, you a very brave young man, and this journey will strengthen your faith for a life time! May it be the same for your whole family!
-Lord Jesus, We are reminded again that you took our human nature as both God and man, and you suffered all our pain and tears. You are the only true "man" who suffered to an infinite degree, and we know you have felt just as we feel in times of sorrow and pain. Lord, we pray for Samuel again tonight, and in the middle of the night when the darkness is so very dark. Please bring that light of your power and grace into this small room for Samuel and Nancy, and strengthen them both for the day tomorrow. Bring new strength and health to this kidney and somehow drive everything into renewed health tomorrow.
Now to the King eternal be glory and praise and thanks for ever and ever. In Jesus Name... Amen.
Good night Samuel. God bless you!
(Jon Landell is praying for you tonight.)
