My prayers for the Waag family

I am sad today. My friend, Teri Heins Waag, lost her 28 year old son, Aaron, to a terrible accident yesterday.  He worked with the family in their tree falling business. Aaron had been hoisted up by a boom crane, and was trying to reach the limb of a large fir tree when he fell about 50 feet. He was pronounced dead on the scene. I cannot imagine the pain Teri and John and the rest of the family are going through. I know she is a woman of strong faith.  She will have to be during this time. This is one of those times that we question God. I suppose that is natural. He was young, married with a daughter. Why God? He must have had His reasons we do not know.

Nothing happens to us that surprises God. He knows every detail and even more importantly... He walks beside us through our grief.  He is God... nothing and no one is more powerful than He. This is the only way I can imagine Teri dealing with this loss.

God's word....

Dear Father God,
I cannot even imagine what Teri, John, the brothers, his wife, his grandma Josie, Aunt Wendi and the rest of the family are going through. The grief would be beyond comprehension. But you are always there God. In the midst. Holding them up and comforting them.  Lord, I don't understand this. And You certainly don't have to explain Yourself. I just ask your glory appears. I ask You will show Yourself to this family in a mighty way. We will praise You through the storm.
In the name of Jesus our Lord,
Amen
