We just got word the day before yesterday that Bob's younger sister Donna was in a car accident that could have easily taken her life. She survived but is in critical condition..with a concussion (cranial bleeding), broken jaw and pelvis, and other injuries. Her recovery is expected to be slow and she could be in the hospital for months, most likely needing physical rehabilitation. She was speeding and her car flipped over 6 times..she wasn't wearing her seat belt and she was thrown out of the car. We know it was the Lord's will to keep her alive. He let her live so that she CAN LIVE! Meaning He allowed her to live so that she can turn to Him and have eternal life. Please pray for Bob's brother Dave who is bearing the burden of caring for the family since he lives closeby.
We are also grieving over the loss of a little boy named Luke who was going to be adopted by our friend's Kevin & Mandy from our church. He lived in an orphanage in China and they were going to be traveling to China to get him within a couple of months. He unexpectedly got sick over Christmas and passed away. We had a yard sale at our church over the summer to raise funds towards his adoption. It's so hard to understand why God took him now but God's ways our higher than our ways. We will see him in heaven! What an amazing reunion it will be. They never got to meet him but loved him already as their own son. They sent him presents for Christmas and he had pictures of their family and knew they were coming for him. You can check out their blog at: www.adoptedandappointed.blogspot.com They are also listed under my bloglist in the right column. I went to the same high school as Kevin & Mandy and now many years later we are all worshipping at the same church. I'm so sad that I won't get to meet Luke yet but praise God he has his glorified body and is with Jesus.
