What is it about death and sorrow that draws us closer to each other? My church had a"BringAFriend to Church Day" yesterday, so our attendance swelled by about a third.
There was a festive air and members were cordial in greeting and making visitors feel welcome. Some may have come only for the turkey dinner that would follow the service, but that's ok too.
After a great Praise and Worship time, our pastor got up. The mood was quickly altered to one of shock and sorrow when he announced the death of one of our member's sons. Death by motorcycle - four weeks after his return from Iraq.
Everyone present could identify with the heart-pain of losing a child - a young father at the beginning of his adult life! It never seems right that a child should die before the parent does. As our pastor rightly pointed out - this was NOT an Act of God. Do not speak to this mourning mom and dad about it being "God's Will"
This was part of the evil one's plan to "seek, kill and destroy".
Please remember Kelly and her family in your prayers. She is a Prayer Warrior. This was a direct attack from satan.
