Hold the Light

It's amazing how life happens, regardless of circumstance. As I was leaving life group last night, feeling greatly encouraged and amazed at how God works through people, I get a phone call as we were leaving the driveway. It is a friend of ours that was on her way to a hospital in St. Louis because her uncle was in a bad motorcycle accident. He wasn't going to make it, and I found out this morning that he didn't. The fear and sadness in her voice shook me. I went from a high to an immediate low. The next thoughts were that I didn't really know what to say. I just told her that if they needed help with anything, Crystal and I would do whatever. Times like these are tough because there is really nothing to say that will help. Just letting her know that we're there if needed is about all we can do.

Caedmon's Call has this song on their new album called "Hold the Light." It's a pretty amazing song that describes how a life with relationships goes. There will be times of celebration and times of loss...along with all the stuff in between. We are supposed to hold the light for each other in times of darkness. We need to allow the "silent peace of God" reflect in our actions and words. I pray that God would comfort her and her family during this time.
