Making sense of the unexpected

 

I just saw them on Saturday.

My lovely friend, her wonderful hubby and their kiddos.

I had their daughter in my class last year.

A cutie with red hair and freckles,

smart as a whip,

big heart.

If you read my blog you know that last year

we had a tornado here in Branson.

My lovely friend lost her home.

Our little Christian school

went and helped them with the clean up effort.

I was so proud of my little

5th grade class.

They just wanted to help so badly.

 

Then I got a text today...

That sweet, Godly man died today.

Unexpectedly.

I just saw them on Saturday.

 

 

What?

 

My heart is struggling to find some sort of

sense, reason, peace.

My heart is hurting for my friend.

He was my age.

I am lost for words.

I am holding my kiddos close,

wishing more then ever Nathan wasn't away.

You can not take one second for granted,

each minute is a gift.

Each minute is a gift!!

 

May I just ask that you pray for this lovely family...

I don't want to share their names,

God will hear your heart and know.

He knows.

God Bless.
