Well, hello, morning mindset family. Carrie here. I want to thank you for your listenership,

and for those of you who are monthly supporters. I call them partners. Thank you for being a part

of what God is doing through the morning mindset. Over the next five days, you're going to hear me do

something that I don't typically do. And that is, ask for your help with a very personal situation related to my

family. I wanted to give you a little bit of the backstory so you understand the context. It has to do

with my oldest son, Aaron. He's 34 years old. Happily married, has been for many years, has four of our

grandsons. The story related to what

we're talking about today goes all the way back to the time when Aaron was seven or eight years

old and he broke out one of his front teeth through an accident that happened in his bedroom.

Not a big deal. We went into the dentist. They had an implant put in. Everything seemed fine. Well, fast

forward about five years, and Aaron is having pain in that tooth. Now, that doesn't make sense.

A false tooth having pain. So we went into the dentist to have it looked at again.

Finally, we're referred to an oral surgeon, and what had happened is a bacteria of some sort

must have gotten into the initial wound when that surgery was done back when he was seven

and that bacteria had eaten away some of the bone above that tooth so that he was in need of a

bone graft and a pretty significant oral surgery. Well, we had that done.

The Lord provided in an amazing way for the payment of that because it was fairly expensive.

And he's gone on with seemingly no problem ever since. Until the last few months, he's begun to

have pain in that same area again. And after consulting with

oral surgeons and dentists, they have discovered that the bone graft has failed. And he's got

an even worse situation to deal with than he had before. It's going to cost him $25,000 or so.

It's going to require a trip to a specialist out of state
