Homeschool Family Devastated by Death of Son
Today I planned to announce my article at the Heart of the Matter. I wish I could. Instead of my thoughts about getting projects done, a touching tribute has been posted for a little boy who lost his life last night.
Watching my children play, I imagine the wrenching ache. Tears dribble down my cheeks, and a song whispers,
We can say goodbye with hope
‘Cause we know our goodbye is not the end
And we can grieve with hope
‘Cause we believe with hope
There’s a place where we’ll see your face again
May the Drews family find hope and peace as they crawl through this valley of shadows. Please join me in praying for them.
My heart has been heavy for that family all day. I can’t even imagine the pain. It is just nice to know that he is Heaven. My prayers are with them that they will find comfort because we will never understand the ‘whys’
Seems like tragedy and tremendous hardship are flowing through the Body of Christ right now.
Makes me wonder what God is about to do.
God’s blessing and peace on this boy’s family.
I can’t imagine what they must be feeling right now. I hope they find peace in the Lord.
So incredibly sad. I see that throughout the blogosphere tonight, many, many people are praying for them. We will, too. May God comfort them and give them strength until they can see and hug their boy in heaven one day.
It’s very sad. I pray that they will sense the peace of God through this trial.
Amen.
Praying with you Renae.
So many things here at the Dixon home have become nothing but unimportant shadows since learning about sweet little Christian.
blessings and prayers for the Drews’ family.
I have made a post asking for people to cover the Drews family in prayer for 24 hours leading up to the 25th of September, marking one month without “Dozer”. Please stop by and add your name if you’d like, and share it on your blog for others that might be willing to “help” this family through prayer.
Thanks,
