I wasn't sure why I hadn't seen you at Tiff's wedding, now I know why. The family you are talking about is a dear friend of mine's sister, so I knew the story. And of course I thought of how God was going to use your loss to bring comfort to them..somehow. I remember when we lost our Shanna I was with 2 other families within a year go through the same loss, so I do understand even when you think you have nothing to offer, God does through you. And through our faithfulness He brings healing to us somehow too. <br />But when you said you had no words to speak...it is so true. People think we have some insight to share on how to get through this, what to say to the family, but the reality is we understand all to well what these people will now have to face and we know no words will change it. It is only God's grace that carries when we can't walk anymore and the hope that someday we will all be together again, never to have to say goodbye with aching hearts. Thanks so much for all your wisdom and the gift you have sharing your feelings. <br />Hugs,<br />janaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4014636649095526048.post-25760388810180467932010-02-23T22:49:38.822-08:002010-02-23T22:49:38.822-08:00Thank you Jen, tears also roll down my face as I r...Thank you Jen, tears also roll down my face as I read your post. We were so glad to have you here on Monday, you did have words and understanding eyes that told even more than your words. I am sorry that we have met in this circumstance, but so happy to know you and Jerrod. He did such an amazing job on Saturday, we have both been incredibly blessed by the two of you. As I've been reading more of your story tonight, more tears have fallen for you and yet my heart is both encouraged and challenged by your faith. I'm looking forward to talking soon.<br /><br />Oh...I have the same background on my blog...weird!Aprilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01064359130618463912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4014636649095526048.post-40178900120718400972010-02-23T16:09:40.232-08:002010-02-23T16:09:40.232-08:00Jerrod and Jen...

I am grateful He gave you a glimpse of how He redeems even the most painful events of this fallen world.<br /><br />To think of all God did to bring you to Hume at that very moment, to be His comfort to others. Thank you for being willing to share your tears and your story of sweet Tyler with the Carey family as they begin this journey of loss.<br /><br />May He continue to bring value to your loss and may the comfort you have received be a comfort to others - II Cor. 1.<br /><br />Praying with you for another mommy and daddy who now must wait a lifetime for their blessed reunion with their sweet child.<br /><br />Grace and Peace,<br /><br />Bonnie RedfernBonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10505606269850565382noreply@blogger.com
