Loss for Words

I have not blogged in a while. . . life has been crazy. . . This past week, a friend lost her 4 month old son. It breaks my heart. . .and, in a few short minutes I am leaving for a funeral for a small child. It sucks, plain and simple. It hurts. I feel as if my heart has been ripped from my chest. I can't even imagine Lindsey and Jeremy's pain. A few weeks ago, a friend lost her husband. It seems to me that we may never understand the "whys" of life. . and we aren't meant to. . . but, I know MY GOD IS FAITHFUL!

Please click on Lindsey's blog for the complete story. . . Her words will bring tears.

It is so hard to understand God's plan. All we can do is pray that they will find peace during this difficult time. Such a sad time.

Creative gal...It is great to get to know you though your blog... a blessing. In is encouraging for us of my generation(age 86) to know there are young people serving our Lord Jesus and others so lovingly and faithfully. May our Lord comfort Lindsey and Jeremy as only He can. God bless and confort all those who are having to face the death and serious illness of their children and youth. Thank God for the great truth that, in sickness and health, death and life... God is good...All the time.
