Tonight we got the opportunity to stop by and give Brianna's birthday gifts to Belle. Belle is a very sweet 1 1/2 year old little girl with terminal Leukemia. We thought of this as a great teaching opportunity for Brianna to share her material blessings with Belle. After all, isn't it better to give than to receive?
Belle has undergone bone marrow transplant at Stanford University just a few months ago but unfortunately her very aggressive form of Leukemia seems to be coming back stronger than before. Right now, she gets Chemotherapy twice a week and her parents are doing all they can to keep her comfortable and with the least amount of pain.
Belle has such amazing parents and siblings. We can hardly imagine what this family is going through on a daily basis... All we see is strength in God and in each other.
Belle loved all the presents, especially "Barbie's Carousel Coach" and a little doll. We ask you all to keep her and her family in your prayers. Our hearts go out to Belle, her family and also all the families that have to grapple with the reality of a terminally ill baby. We can only hope to keep holding on tightly to God on this side of heaven so that we may all enjoy each other for eternity in a world without pain.

Es muy bueno inculcar en Brianna, "que es mejor dar que recibir". Al ver este cuadro tan conmovedor, solo resta orar por Belle y su familia. Damos gracias a nuestro Dios por Bri. y la encomendamos cada día a su cuidado.

Precious little Belle - my heart goes out to her and her whole family. I'm so glad that they continue to find strength in the Lord. what a great opportunity to teach Brianna about sharing and giving. It's never too early to start teaching important values of life. I'm can just hear Brianna praying for baby Belle.
