A Loss

Sad news this week. The 18 year old son of friends of ours was killed in a head on collision. I used to babysit him and his siblings when the family first moved to our area. It doesn't seem that long ago, but it's been a lot of years!

One evening a couple of years back, my hubby and I stopped at a local fast food place - and there he was, working! I was surprised! I told him he surely couldn't be old enough to be employed. He grinned...


My heart breaks for our friends. The death of a loved one is never easy. As Christians, we know we will see them again, and that is wonderful. But there is still grief. And to lose a child. I can't even begin to imagine the hurt!

My son is on his way home. He's been gone since the end of April. We got to see him at the end of June for a couple of days. But now he's heading home.

My arms ache with the need to hug my son...



Please pray for my friends.

We are praying, LuAnne. I certainly understand that longing for a hug. May our friends feel the Lord's arms around them during this very difficult time.
