Words can not express how sad I am to read this. My prayers are sent again. I wish there was something else I could do.
Guys who are local may consider offering to house-sit during the funeral, as horrible as it sounds, that is a time that thieves target the family's house.
Again, may God bless April and comfort Nathan and his family in this time of grief.
I don't have the words to tell you how sorry I am and I can't imagine what you are facing, please know prayers are being sent on you and your families behalf...
Words can not express my sympathies for you and your family Nathyn.
You will forever be in my families prayers. Keep your head up and know that there is a bigger plan for us out there.
Prayers sent. I type this with a tear in my eyes (actually running down my face) and a lump in my throat. She is in a better place. You and the kids will make it.
Sorry sounds kind of hollow to me but I'm at a lose for words right now.
We will keep you and your family in our prayers.
Please keep us posted on the donations and such.
Words cannot express to you the depth of loss I feel for you and your family.
We do not know each other, but in matters like these, the fact that we are both made by the same Maker allows even stangers to unite in light of indescribable times of trial and pain. I have read every post on your thread and rode the emotional roller-coaster that you, your family, friends and TBH brothers road with you...and through that experience, with your permission I would like to offer a word of hope.
I will not lie to you and say "I know how you feel", because I have not (to this point) had to walk the road you have walked...very few have. But the ones I have met in my lifetime who have had to travel that all-to-narrow road you are travelling...have a joy about them that is so deep and indescribable that it simply draws others to them. The reason, I believe, has to do with why I felt lead to post this...and that is.
God, in His infinite plan and wisdom has something very rare and special for you right now. It may seem to you, and others who read this, a bit odd, but it is a gift. That gift, which may seem like it was offered to you all too late, is what, at this point in time is just the right time. God, our Father, is offering you the gift of grace. Grace to handle what none of us can handle on our own. Grace to comfort us when we can't be comforted. Grace that is greater than all your pain and suffering. It is there...and more than you need, believe it or not. How can I say this, because His Word so gently lets us know in
2 Corinthians 1:2-7 2May God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ give you grace and peace.
3 All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. God is our merciful Father and the source of all comfort.
4 He comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort others. When they are troubled, we will be able to give them the same comfort God has given us.
5 For the more we suffer for Christ, the more God will shower us with his comfort through Christ.
6 Even when we are weighed down with troubles, it is for your comfort and salvation! For when we ourselves are comforted, we will certainly comfort you. Then you can patiently endure the same things we suffer.
7 We are confident that as you share in our sufferings, you will also share in the comfort God gives us.
God has placed me in some very difficult settings...and many times I asked Him to take the difficulty away. He usually didn't, and what I found later to be true was that He was there carrying me...and that all I really did was...let Him carry me!
My family and I will be lifting you, your children, your family and friends up in prayer...as our Heavenly Father lifts you up in His hands!
