Say It Ain’t So

Loving Servants Are We
Loving Servants Are We

Ever find yourself going through your daily motions and you get a text, email or phone call that stops you in your tracks?

Yesterday was one of those times and I’d like to ask for your help in praying for one couple in particular. They were all set to adopt a newborn child, when “a Father” suddenly appeared where there wasn’t.

This couple has struggled a long time to start a Family, like many couples do – more than most people realize. They had finally reached the end of one journey and were about to begin the next chapter in their lives – as Parents.

God has some other plan, because they are not going to be Parents this time. When will their next time be?

Let’s hope that their pain and grief at the “loss” of their first child will be overcome by an outpouring of God’s Grace, Mercy and Never Ending Love, and all of our kind and generous prayers.

Please Pray For This Family

Please pray for this Family. There’s a very special Family in mind, and you most likely don’t know them, but also most likely, you know someone just like them.

A year ago today, in what was simply another ordinary day for this Family, the phone rang that night.

“Your daughter has been in an accident”.

Their precious daughter was severely injured and she was not expected to make it through the injuries.

Somehow she did.

But in a fate most of us can’t even remotely comprehend, nine days later, she unexpectedly passed.

To go to the edge of the cliff, then pulled back from it, and then to suddenly plunge unexpectedly over, breaks my heart to think about.

In a CaringBridge update yesterday, I was reminded of this “anniversary”, and will honor their request to never miss an opportunity to tell my son or my wife, “I love you”.
