Spending Some Time with God

As I'm sure most of you have seen on Facebook, I have been keeping tabs on the Cretzman's journey through this tragedy they are facing.  I have noticed that strangers across the globe are spending time in fervent prayer for this family.  If you have not heard, they are missionaries to the country of Cuba and were traveling on debutation when they were in a devastating car accident that put the mother in critical care and sent the 3 year old to be with Jesus.  Their two year old daughter survived as well as the dad.  The mother is now stable and doing much better.  If you could spend some time with God over this, I can't think of a better way to help this family.

Sometimes you just hear these stories that strike a place with you. This was one of those stories. I'm not sure if its because I have a three year old and two year old as well or what. I just know that God has put them heavely on my heart these last few days.  I hope you all will join me in prayer for this families healing. They have such a long journey ahead of them.  While in prayer for them, the Lord brought the lyrics to Amazing Grace to mind.

Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost but now am found,
Was blind, but now I see.
T'was Grace that taught my heart to fear.
And Grace, my fears relieved.
How precious did that Grace appear
The hour I first believed.
Through many dangers, toils and snares
I have already come;
'Tis Grace that brought me safe thus far
and Grace will lead me home.
The Lord has promised good to me.
His word my hope secures.
He will my shield and portion be,
As long as life endures.
Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
And mortal life shall cease,
I shall possess within the veil,
A life of joy and peace.
When we've been here ten thousand years
Bright shining as the sun.
We've no less days to sing God's praise
Than when we've first begun.
Please pray for the Cretzmans!
