The school of prayer is a dear place with God!


It is better to go to the house of mourning, than to go to the house of feasting: for that is the end of all men; and the living will lay it to his heart. Ecc 7:2


We are in mourning at the loss of dear little Molly. This was not unexpected, because of her illness, but it is a painful time. I have observed your precious fellowship, holding oneanother up during this season of grief. You have held Molly's hand and Brianna's through the darkness of the valley of the shadow of death. That is the place where faith shines the brightest. The darkness of death, and especially the death of a child is so contrary to reason that faith is the only light of the goodness of God in the midst. I am grateful to have seen you learning the lessons that are so very hard and so very difficult. These lessons solidify your relationship with God and knowing that He does what He says. Yea, though you walk through the valley of the shadow...He will be with you. Know Him and love Him in the valley. Know Him and love Him in the shadows and He will be the light and grow you up in Him. Be comforted that we will see Molly again. She will not come to us, but we will go to her. xoxoxo
