Words Could Never be Enough

Sometimes things are a little close to the heart and you could never do them justice. That's how I feel about a blog write up for this family. I just could never do it justice. So, allow me if you will to give you little snippets - snippets of my heart and their life.

And here I am already tearing up just thinking about snippets...

This family is special - special because in the midst of pain they found moments of joy. This family is strong - strong because God Himself is strong. This family is hope because in Christ our hope never dies. Together they have fought cancer and together they are winnning. When many might have chosen to close themselves off to the world and question why they were dealt the cancer card, this family opened their lives and shared their struggles and victories with everyone and in the process a world was changed. Yes, literally a world. Nurses who are paid to serve have been served. Families alone in a children's hospital have been given hope and friendship. Friends who felt the blow of an economic crisis were daily reminded that our finances are nothing in comparison to the health of our children. Moms grieving over the unimaginable loss of a child found someone they could always call and lean on. So many people have been impacted by their faith, their unquestioning belief in an all-powerful, all-knowing God, and by their continuous quest to focus on the present and what God has for them right now instead of worrying about a future they have no control over.

God is faithful. Look at this beautiful family and say, "Good riddance" to cancer.














Tara Whitney did this back in June and I've been wanting to try it ever since. I think it fits them well.
