I wanted to ask for prayers for
a dear family we know. A friend's sister and her children were
involved in a car accident and one of the children died, whereas the
remaining two have been released from the hospital this evening.
The mother is in critical condition with many injuries ranging from her
head to her feet. It is uncertain as to whether she is currently
aware of her daughter's death due to her sedation for the pain.
Please pray for this precious family, for their loss, for this woman of
God (yes, they are believers) who is a mother, wife, sister, and
daughter to those in her presence right now.
It
isn't until we are faced with circumstances such as this that we
realize just how many things we are to how many people. We are
touching people and serving them daily and so rarely do we realize the
impact of our existence. This family's lives are changed forever
with the loss of their daughter/sister/niece. Please pray for
acceptance and healing and that their reliance will be on their
Heavenly Father in whose arms she lies.
Eyes that Weep by Connie Hinnen Cook
What to say to eyes that weep,
Eyes with tears that cannot keep,
Eyes that find no rest in sleep,
What to say to eyes that weep...
Do not say, "Cheer up, my friend,
Don't you know that this will end?
Hope is just around the bend,
Life is great ~ Cheer up, my friend."
Do not say, "You're right to cry,
Life is cruel, no use to try,
Just give up, curse God and die,
All is vain ~ You're right to cry."
Say no words to weeping eyes,
Don't condone or criticize,
Grieve with them till sorrow dies,
Christ Himself shared weeping eyes.
--Connie
"When Jesus therefore saw her weeping,
and the Jews who came with her, also weeping,
He was deeply moved in spirit, and was troubled...
and Jesus wept."
(John 11:33,35 NASB)
