There just aren’t words really –no words seem appropriate to address the topic of death. A family in our school circle suffered a tragic lost this weekend. Heading back from fall break, a family of three kids and two godly parents were in an accident. The dad was killed as a result. I am so struck with grief; I am sitting with a different perspective.
I wonder if many of you are wondering WHY and HOW tragedies like this happen, and if, like me, you have knots in your stomach when you think about it. And please hear me.
This is not about me. I do not know them well at all – they are in our school circle. We pass each other and small talk on field trips. It just hit me hard that life is so fragile. We just never know what tomorrow holds. My heart is heavy for this mother of three, and for her family and friends. And it's heavy for every other precious child of God that has gone through something similar. I am praying, praying so often.
I was reminded of another tragic story and think it’s a great reminder that God is so in the details. He has not forgotten this family or any family that is facing life’s biggest trials. He adores you and your precious friends so much.
