Tears...

Tears flowed this morning as I read all the new posts on facebook.  It is so beautiful the outpouring of love and prayer for this family.  My heart just aches for them and I'm finding it very difficult to go about my normal Monday chores.  Trisha and her 5 children were in a car accident early Sunday morning.  Precious Kylee did not make it. 
It sounds like everyone else will be ok but 3 of them are still in the hospital.  Trisha did not have to have surgery on her foot!  Praise the Lord for that miracle!  Mya has a fractured skull but her CT scan this morning was ok.  Again, Praise the Lord.
I read on facebook this morning that Ben said he would rather have his little girl with Jesus than back here running and playing like she used to.  What a wonderful faith!  Oh that we could all say the same in a situation like this.  It is wonderful to think of Kylee running and laughing with Jesus!  But oh the sad hearts and the tears of those who will feel the empty space she has left here. 

Please, Heavenly Father, hold this family tightly, today and in the coming days, weeks, and years as they go on without their daughter, granddaughter, sister, niece, and friend.
Please bring joy after the sorrow.  Carry them through.  Be their strength.  Be their Comfort.  I know you feel their pain.  You gave your Son and watched Him die to save us all.  You care.  And that is why they will get through this and they will go on to smile again.  Thank you Heavenly Father for you promises that you will always be there and you will give the strength when things do indeed become too much for us to bear.  Bless all those who are stepping up to help.  Thank you for the outpouring of love that is bathing this family.  Help us all to keep praying for them in the coming days as life goes on.
Amen.
