A Bitter-sweet Day 6/30/11 9:37 PM

This morning I walked into Ron's room (which btw is still in Icu:( just a step down room) & he was sitting up in bed and eating!!! He gave me the sweetest smile I have seen in over a month. He spoke the words "MY babies here!! What a thrill to see him up & in good spirits. Talking. Breathing in his own oxygen. But then I had the awful task of giving him the worst news a parent can ever receive. A few days ago I learned that his 37 year old daughter, Christine had passed away back in December. Her sister and mom had tried to locate him at that time, but couldn't for some reason (even though we all live in the same city.) I didn't want to break this news to him so soon. I wanted to wait until he was completely healed, but his Dr. thought it would be best to tell him now while he's still in the hospital. I don't think I could have lived with not telling him anyway. But it was tough. I watched his spirit fall & felt helpless as he withdrew into himself. Losing a child has to be the hardest thing a person can face in this life. Ron has lost 2. We buried his 24 year old son, Jeremiah 3 years ago. He still hasn't gotten over that. So, once again I ask for your prayers on Ron's behalf. Please pray that the Lord will comfort him and carry him through this. The Bible says that our God will not give us more than we can handle. So when does all of his suffering end? How much can one person handle? I suppose when he gets to Heaven and receives all of his rewards for his faithfulness and love for God even in the midst of all this suffering. I think of Job and all he went through. So much more than any of us could ever endure. But God had chosen him for that purpose and his eternal rewards were great in the Kingdom of Heaven. I am learning to understand that this life is only a speck in time. What we suffer and endure is only a drop in the ocean compared to the eternal blessings we will receive for remaining faithful to God. Christine and Jeremiah are truly the blessed ones. They have received their rewards in Heaven and will reap them for eternity. The sadness is for their loved ones who have been left behind. There's a song out by Justin Moore that says it all. "Losing them wouldn't be so hard to take, if Heaven wasn't so far away." Please pray for Ron that he will be comforted by the knowledge that she's not gone. She's just moved on to a better place and he will be reunited with her some day.
