YOU NEVER LET GO!

As I blog daughter Angela has the song playing "You Never Let Go". When the hard times in life come our God will never let go, "joy and pain, sun and rain, your the same oh you never let go."

Tim and daughter Nicole took our dog Musta to have her put to sleep. There is pain in our hearts and we are so saddened by the loss of a faithful friend. She was in so much pain - it was time. Tim spent most of the night outside with the dog on a sleeping bag. Her diahrea was so bad and she hurt so much he didn't have the heart to leave her, plus this needed to be outside. Musta spent 9 1/2 years with our family. She was such a sweet dog, following me everywhere I went, playing soccer with the girls, being a horse for Angela when she was younger, camping and just waiting at the door with a wagging tail when we would get home.

Today we deal with that along with another family loss. All today I can see God's hand in everything. His hand is in the losses that we are facing. I love so much that our family draws strength from Jesus. I love that they seek his face in the hard times.

We worship you Lord, in the midst of pain you are still the God of the universe. You are still the God who has our life in his hands. May His love and peace surround us!
