A Father's Love

Oh my, keep kleenex handy for this...



I have yet to talk to anyone who hasn't heard the tragic story of the family of Christian music artist Steven Curtis Chapman.

The youngest son was pulling into the driveway (coming home from college), when his youngest, five year old sister sister came running out, excited that he was home.
He didn't see her & .....



This interview is heart-wrenching, but I think it's good for us parents to watch, hear, read, listen to stuff like this once in a while... to renew our appreciation for the blessings we have.



One part of the interview that caused me to really cry like a baby, was when Steven was talking about right after the accident. He had gotten into a different vehicle to rush to the hospital. And as he was leaving, he rolled down his window & yelled with as much strength that he could muster, 'Your father loves you' to his son who was no doubt losing his mind after what had happened.


I thought that was too important to not point out. And could be applicable in so many situations; but of course, I think of our heavenly Father, who despite the things we've done, never passes up the chance to overlook the circumstances & do His best to make us feel His love.



What an incredible family. What they've gone through is almost too much to even think about. But what a testiment of their faith & how as Christians, we're imperfect...we have questions... we have doubts. But through those dark times, our faith is made perfect.
