The Grace of God in Life

One of the greatest missionary struggles that Peggy and I have found at our age and time of ministry in our life has been watching our young adult age children grow up and begin to leave the nest.  While that is a normal part of life the abnormal part of it is not being in the same country to help them begin to make their way. 

As you have read in our last post we have just moved Abigail back to Ohio to live with my parents and begin to attend college there in their town.  This past Thursday at around six AM we got that dreaded call.  Abigail had just experienced her first snow accident and had repeatedly rolled her truck on her way to school.  A witness had called 911 and Abigail had immediately called us while still in her truck concerned with possible neck and back injuries.

Well as you can see, the little Ford Ranger that Abigail and I spent so much time on fixing together as a Father and Daughter project had done it's number one job in protecting Abigail but it took the full blow.  Abigail was released from the hospital a short time latter with a clean bill of health.

Thank God for His grace.

Yes....we agree with you. We thought the hard part of rearing children was when they were little. not even close! The heartache of seeing your children struggle so far away and not being able to be there is one of the hardest things we have endured. We will continue to pray for your family whom we love dearly.
