Hoping for Miracles

When there is ice cream for a good cause – I mean legitimately good cause – I gotta participate. It's the right thing to do.

Today was the 12th annual Miracle Treat Day at Dairy Queens everywhere. For every Blizzard Treat purchased, $1 or more goes to help sick kids treated at Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals.

Did you know that every day CMN hospitals treat 16,200 kids with trauma, 935 kids with diabetes, 2,128 kids with cancer, 2,329 kids for surgeries and 925 babies in NICU. That's a lot of miracles needed on a daily basis. Glad my Peanut Butter Cup CheeseQuake Blizzard could help.

I'm also hoping a praying really hard for some miracles for kids tonight.

No matter what age they are, our children are still our babies. We love them. We fear for them. We hurt for them. We would do anything for them.

I have some parents (of adults and newborns) who could really use your prayers tonight. One friend has a newborn being rushed to a hospital for emergency surgery. Another friend has a 20-year-old daughter who is desperately fighting a drug addiction.

These "babies" deserve a chance to make it. They aren't just our children, they are God's children. Let's gently remind Him we urgently need a few of his miracles today.

On behalf of my friends, thanks for your support.
