In the light of eternity....

Dan had to work yesterday, the whole day, and didn't make it home until 1 am.  As he was driving home we talked about the 31 service members who were killed.  It is such a tragic loss and so sad.  He was discussing some of the petty things that happened on the job and he said "In the light of eternity, all that means nothing.  Thirty one people lost their lives and their souls are gone from this earth." 

I know he felt the tug on his heart as he wondered if they had been ministered to and who would be there for their families.  Who would help them navigate the coming days and be there to listen as they work through this immense grief. 

His heart is to minister to the military.  He knows God is calling him to encourage, comfort, and support those in the Armed Forces.  I know that he wishes he could do it now but it isn't the time yet.  God willing, we will soon embark on a new adventure of serving our military.  I am honored to stand by his side as he steps into this calling.

In the following months I challenge you to pray for those families who lost a loved one yesterday.  They will struggle with this loss for a very long time.




Romans 12:15b "....weep with those who weep"
