As as I look around my world it is easy to see the Lord working through his people, sinners like me. One of my friends recently experienced a family tragedy. I have been a witness to strength and faith I hope I would have in similar circumstances.
Losing a child; the thought takes my breath and I am overcome with a heavy heart. Tears fall and then I think I have no right to share this grief. It belongs to my friend and her family. I care but can’t begin to comprehend what they have gone through and will continue to wrestle. I am helpless. God is the only source of healing. God is the perfect source for healing.
My God sighting was visible as my friend helped her daughter live through tragedy. She turned to God for comfort and strength, knowing that understanding may only come in the next life with Christ.
The message at church today talked about the light placed within us by God at the moment of conception. I thought about my friend and the light of her unborn grandchild, who’s light shown so brightly it must have helped guide her family and their friends to the Lamb, our Savior, Jesus Christ during this dark moment.
Pure love is how she described bonding with this new life already taken. I have to believe that God was present, surrounding everyone with his love and giving a grieving family the gift of his love. This sweet soul touched so many lives.
God sightings, I am so thankful to be a witness to God as he performs miracles and works through his people. May the Peace of the Lord be with you as we say goodbye to 2017 and hello to the New Year 2018 filled with his blessings.
