Last year today was the beginning of quite a winter for my dear friends. Their second baby girl was born at home. I was blessed to be able to be there to watch their oldest little girl and stay with them all day. The winter winds brought snow to our Tennessee valley and also bitter snow to our own valley’s that we went through last winter. Sweet baby girl was deathly sick 11 days later with meningitis. They were in the hospital for like ever. It was painful to watch my dear friends walk through this valley.
Yet, God was every present and powerful. He brought his people together in prayer, and healing to this sweet girl. I wish I actually had words to describe how amazing God worked through his people. Probably like if you watched some master craftsman cutting away until he’s finished with something gloriously beautiful. That’s still not good enough. To put it simply, these friends and this church are my family…my heavenly family…my eternal family. Yeah, this valley was one of many last winter, but we got through it by God’s hand, bearing each others burdens. I am just overjoyed and beyond thankful. I love my family.
