I ask everyone to please pray for an 8 year old boy named Austin, a boy that can teach all of us a thing or two about patience and accetptance. Austin ws diagnosed with a hip dieases early in the school year. His legs have been in casts with his legs spread apart by a bar. He is in a wheechair. I am his aide at school. He is at an age where all his friends are riding bikes and learning how to swim and he is confined to a wheelchair.
Never once has he complained about being in a wheelchair. He once told me that he doesn't get upset about things because he concentrates more on what he CAN do, not what he CAN'T do.
I just ask that you pray that Austin will have a safe and happy summer, free from any pain or worry. His family was going to cancel their annual holiday of going to the amusement parks and camping, because there are a total of 6 kids in the family, and Austin can't participate in any of the acitivites. he told his family that they should go, that he can do other ones, but he is putting his siblings first before him.
If I was stuck in a wheelchair with casts on, I'd be complaining and shouting to the world, but this 8 year old has more patience then I've seen in most adults. Please pray for him.

Father, thank you for the blessing I received today hearing about Austin. Austin exhibits an attribute of a true Christian, that Jesus taught is most treasured, and that is to love one another as ourselves. Father, send angles round about Austin so that no harm will come to him. Lord, I will that Austin be healed instantly but I put my trust in You Lord that Your will be done in Austin’s life. Father, work the greatest miracle of all and when it comes time for Austin to choose let him choose to follow Jesus all the days of his life that his salvation is made sure. Holy Spirit continue to minister to Austin and send him a special blessing that can come only from You Lord. Lord also bless Kirby, let him have great influence as he loves and cares for the children you have put into his charge. In Jesus Name we pray Amen.

Thank you Kirby for posting the wonderful testimony of this caring eight-year-old boy.

A prayer has been said for Austin. It breaks your heart to see little children suffer.
