"Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints"

Today may be one of the saddest days I can remember. We woke to the news of the passing of a dear person and the mother of two little girls. She was only 26. I had the pleasure of knowing Chandler for over 12 years now and taught her in Sunday School. She was a loving mother and a gracious person who loved deeply and cared. She always had a smile and a hug for people and her light has gone out too soon. My emotions have been on a roller coaster ride all day. How do you explain this to little ones. Her oldest daughter is only 6 just one year older than Cottia and the baby I believe is 2 the age of Eva. Both girls look like their mother. Dusty will have some very hard days ahead and we as a family will all need to be there for him. His priority now has to be raising those girls and giving them the lives they deserve. Sometimes we just cannot explain why things happen and sometimes we wonder what God has in store during times like this. But, the bottom line is life will go on and his greater plan will be worked out. So, on this day of mouring and sadness we lift Dusty, Adalin, McKenley and the rest of the family up to the Father whose comforting arms know no bounderies. This is a day we won't forget but it is also a day to remind us that life is short and uncertain so make the most of what God has given you and make sure you have give him your soul. Life is eternal even if it lasts for a short time in this earth.
