When there are no words

This past weekend a friend of mine (Lori) received some devastating news. Her sister had a tragic skydiving accident and was severely injured. She has now gone home to be with her Savior. And so today there is a husband and 2 young daughters (as well as parents, sisters and extended family) who are left to wrestle with this enormous loss.

As my heart has been burdened for Lori and her family...this video seemed to be the only thing that made sense. When there are no words...just love on them as Jesus does and stay by their side!

We often feel the need to come up with something profound...something that will make the hurt and pain better. We do so because we desperately want to help, we struggle with seeing loved ones in agonizing pain. But most of the time...there is nothing we can say to lessen the pain. That is Gods job, only His power can do so.

But we can do something very significant...we can be willing to walk along side of them, loving them through the emotions and grief!

I'll stop now...this video/song says it better than I can.............

(you will need to pause the blog site music in order to hear this video!)

May you pray for this family as they walk through these days. I know they would covet your prayers. My prayer is that they feel God's presence like nothing they have ever experienced before!
