grief

I am not good at dealing with grief. I never have been. I would think that after having lost so many people over the last five years that grief would become easier. It has not.

My pastor Amy's husband and children ran into a deer on their way home this evening from the Ash Wednesday service. Emmie, the youngest, did not survive the accident. Emmie was precious. She was full of joy and life. Her loss hits us all deep in our hearts and souls.

I thought I would get on my blog and write some eloquent exposition about how grief, though unbearable, can strengthen the heart. I wanted to write about how I know God can overcome our pain.

I don't have any of those words tonight. This evening, I only have grief. Please pray for the Mears-Webb family, for Amy and David, for the other three children. Please pray for our Glendale Baptist family as we join together to comfort and to cry. Please pray that we would be granted peace and healing.

Thank you.
