Thoughts

Well, our friend died last Friday night. I’ve not written sooner because it caused so many new thoughts and emotions. I felt guilty because my first feeling was relief that it was over. Gregg has left a wife and two young sons (17 and 14) — they need a Dad and Husband – a healthy one too. But then I remember we all had about 11 years of Gregg that we might never have gotten if the Lord hadn’t done a work in him. And, what a work He did.

I wonder if my own loss would have been easier if there had been some lingering or if I would have only built up foolish hopes and hurts. While it is so easy to trace the way God’s Sovreign purposes worked in Gregg’s situation – postponing his death for several years – when I look at Josh’s short life – I don’t see it. I will probably never understand why God gave us Josh after 14 years of infertility to only take him away at such a young age.

oooh – that’s a trip

I found this on Sara’s blog – I was almost sure I was picking the color, but the pattern really appears to me too! And, the results seem to be pretty right on!
