One year ago, I was writing Keeping Promises, a story whose characters must learn to deal with untimely death. Each morning, before working on the novel, I asked God to give me the words. Recently, I've come to realize that He was doing so much more than helping me write a book. He was preparing me for the future, for an event that He knew was coming, but I did not.
Thank you, Lord, for holding me up during the hardest journey of my life, and for continuing to do so. Thank you for more than19 precious years with my son, for his uniqueness, for our close relationship - for You knew our time was short.
'Therefore let us draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.' Heb. 4:16
Dedicated to my son, Kevin
