WOW! That is awesome.
Angie could not see through the fogged-up windows in her car. Inadvertently, she pulled out in front of a truck. The accident caused such damage to her brain that she could no longer speak or take care of herself.
Over the years, I have been amazed at the resiliency of Angies parents. Recently I asked them, How have you managed to get through this experience? Her father thoughtfully responded, In all honesty, the only way we have been able to do this is by drawing close to God. He gives us the strength we need to help us through.
Angies mother agreed and added that around the time of the accident their grieving was so deep that they wondered if they would ever have joy again. As they both leaned upon God, they experienced countless unexpected provisions for the physical and spiritual care of Angie and their entire family. Although Angie may never regain her ability to speak, she now responds to them with wide smiles and this gives them joy. Her parents favorite verse continues to be: Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning (Ps. 30:5).
Have you experienced extreme sorrow? There is the promise of future joy amid your tears as you lean upon our loving Lord.
