To Chad with love.

As I sit here still weeping from reading the words in the blog above, I am also in utter amazement.  If Chad's were are not a true testament of God's spectacular love for us, than I do not know what is.

Chad is a man I do not know.  He is a man who lost his wife, Sara, (who was in her last month of pregnancy) in a car accident.  The doctors delivered their baby, a daughter named Miranda.  Unfortunately, Miranda's injuries were very serious and she was put on life support. Tuesday, Chad had to make the decision to take her off of life support.  In three days' time, this man lost his wife and his newborn daughter.  He wasn't angry with God, he didn't blame God for what happened.  He was so comforted in the fact that his little baby and his wife were together and they were with Jesus.  He didn't curse God, he wasn't angry with Him.

It is so hard sometimes to accept that God doesn't let bad things happen, nor does he take people from us.  As hard as that is to understand, He doesn't do those things.  God is amazing, and He loves us so much and he is holding Chad so close to His heart right now.

I finished a book called The Shack about a month or so ago.  Please read it.  It helped me so much in understanding death and tragedy.

Chad, my heart and prayers and thoughts are with you now, and with your family.  I pray that God will lay His healing hand upon you and your family.  May God Bless you and Keep you.
