As we rang in the new year last night with some good friends, we received news of a loss. Our friend's husband was killed in a car accident and she was informed shortly after midnight last night. Death is always a surprise, even when you know it's coming, and this shock has hit like a punch in the gut. In an instant, the lives of our friend and her young daughter have been shattered. It is a reminder of how short life is and that tomorrow is never promised.
"Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom." Psalm 90:12
As my friend faces the new year with this gaping loss, I pray that God gives her strength and courage. My heart breaks for her and her daughter, and I pray that God uses the people in their lives to reach out and build them up.
"A faith and knowledge resting on the hope of eternal life, which God, who does not lie, promised before the beginning of time." Titus 1:2
