Over the past couple of days I've spent 5 or 6 hours with a family who are experiencing perhaps the worst Christmas imaginable. A father and husband who is just a few days older than me was struck by a car this past Friday at a construction site and has not regained consciousness since. He has a 12-year old daughter and a 9-year old son. He had also battled leukemia for the past 2 years and was actually in remission for about 6 months when this accident happened. It's one of those situations that really causes you to ask God the heavy questions. Like "What the hell is wrong with this picture!?"
For some reason...the situation is just really weighing heavily on me. As we celebrated Christmas this afternoon with a house full of family...I could not get the tragedy...or the image of the battered and unconscious father...out of my head.
Please pray that God floods this family with grace and miraculously restores the dad/husband/son/neighbor/friend.
