He said, “That’s good. it should never have been there to begin with.”

Thanks.

We all do, as you wait on the Lord at Michael’s bedside. Words fail, but God never does. Hope to see you and Roel soon.
David.

The trials we receive are grievous, they are hard to bear, but they are as needed as night and day. As I reflect on life and the joys of life, I can only look back and say, the children that God has given me are the true scorch of blessing and joy. We as mothers have a great task, to teach, to love, to hold, and show our children the true love of God that dwells in our heart that they may be jealous of the fact and want the God that lives in their parent. We really fall short, and we do not have to look at other Christians or so called Christians, we only need to examine our own life and beg God for mercy that He may graciously grant us to love the Son He gave us and allowed Him to die on the cross for our sins that we may forgiven.
As I now stand by the bed of my dear boy Michael, I can only thank God for the life that He gave me to raise, to love, to teach, to hold, and now my mother heart is laying in bed with him wishing I could take his place. Yet this trial is teaching me, that all things work together for good to those that love God. People easily say, “I am praying for you, angels are flying over head, God is with him, do not worry,” yet do they really know what they are saying? Do we really fall on our knee’s, do we really beg God for help? Are there really angels flying over head? Or is the only important thing in life,” the need of a Saviour?” Only and only then can we live. “To live is Christ, to die is gain.”
