A few thoughts… « Hope Is Never Wasted:
Our friends from Michigan, Blaine and Darcy, and going through a tough time right now. Darcy is in the hospital awaiting word on what appears to be leukemia. Here are my thoughts to them today. If you want to follow their story you'll find it at http://blaine62.wordpress.com/.

"Blaine, we are praying that God will bring a miracle to you, Darcy and Connor. I was about Connor’s age when my mom was in an auto accident and I did not know what would happen to her. Reflecting on that, I’m glad that Connor has his Dad to help him through the questions and fears.

We sometimes think, “What am I learning through trials?” I suggest that God may be doing more than teaching, and that the effects extend to children and others in ways we may not be aware of. I sense Connor is watching and listening to his Dad. I pray he sees clearly your renewed devotion to Darcy, the support of those who love you (including us!) and your trust in our Lord. I pray these moments will mark your son’s life and help him follow you and Darcy as you model an authentic relationship with each other and with God."
