A tornado destroyed my Son’s house last April on Camp Lejuene. My DIL was reaching for my Grandson in his crib when the entire 2nd floor flew off the house, burying both of them in the rubble. My 20 month old Grandson was nearly killed and spent a month in the hospital. He had so many internal injuries and broken bones that we thought he wouldn’t survive this. But now he is doing great.
My Daughter-in-law still feels guilty and responsible for him being hurt so badly. My Son was away at a training exercize in California and feels guilty for no being there. This has been very difficult on them. They have lost their faith.
I hope this lady and her family heal from this but it could take a very long time to come to grips with what happened.
I am praying for your son and his wife. I am so sorry that happened to them. Praise God that your grandchild is recovered from such a horrible experience!
“They have lost their faith...”
Remind them that evil is not from God - it is from Satan and is a result of original sin; we live in a fallen world. God allowed the entrance of evil into the world in order to preserve our free will.
Prayers for all and Praise God your Grandson is doing great!!
Dear submarinerswife,
When they take their eyes off themselves and what they did not/could not do, they will see that God Almighty did take care of all of them.
Romans 8:28 And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.
In your Son’s instance, the mother was not the hero, God was. Give Him the glory and stop feeling sorry for yourself for not doing what you felt necessary. I certainly do not hold either of them at fault for any of it and will pray for their Faith to strengthen.
Kind regards,
TL
Prayers for them.
