I have lots more to say, but (as usual), I don't have lots of time, so I am referencing some passages that I will come back to later. A friend of a friend recently lost her 2 year old daughter to a terrible form of Cancer. Their amazing faith through their daughter's brief, yet painful struggle has brought them to a point that even now, just three weeks since they suffered such a terrible loss, they are rallying troops worldwide to fight this cancerous monster. Their strength is found through scripture, and their hope is found on their knees, with family and friends surrounding them. Here are a few scriptures that have helped them. They can also help all of us....
For Hope and Comfort: 1 Peter 1:3-9; Revelation 7
Other passages: Matthew 19:14...Jesus says "bring the children to me..."
Psalm 147:2-3
Hug your children.....spend time with them, not money on things for them....you will remember the experiences, not the Webkinz and IPods!
What's greater than a 12 year old choosing her first pair of high healed sandals? Witnessing the look on her face as she walks down the shoe aisle to test them as if she is on a runway! Like I said, it's about the experiences!!
