Praying for Kolton today.
Lord, please let him know how loved and precious he is. Hold his heart in your hands and comfort and heal the hurt. Give him happy memories, Lord, protect his heart and mind, keep him safe, physically emotionally and spiritually. Bless those who care for him with wisdom, patience and understanding as they nurture him.
Father, hold this whole family tight, please. Amen
I have no doubt that no one will ever understand. Even those of us who prayed every day for months for Tim will never understand what he went through while he was there or while he tried to recover. Even those of us who loved Jen and never ceased praying for her will never understand the anguish of losing the boy she knew all her life, the live of her life, and the father of her children. Even those of us here now, who pray for Kolton and the girls every day will never EVER understand what he's been through, how he feels, what he thinks, or how to pray! But thank God, Kolton's Heaven Father knows him intimately and knows exactly what he needs.
I agree with this. No one on this earth will ever understand why God "allows" this type of tragedy to happen, and none of us will ever be able to understand what anyone in this family has been through. It seems unfair that the family of a man who gave his life for this country should have to endure all of this hardship. Who knows why all of this has happened?? But our rewards are not of this earth. Our rewards are in heaven. And from everything I've heard about both Tim and his beautiful wife, they are both there at this very moment. I believe that. For those who were left behind, namely their three sweet innocent children, it's harder to come to terms with what they are having to endure. I feel for them. I hurt for them. I can't imagine the pain in their little hearts. But I know God has a plan for each of their lives. It's not for us to make sense of, even though it's human nature to feel the need to. We just have to trust and pray. I am on my knees for Kolton, for Emma, and for Jaylie. They have surely got a hard road ahead, but nothing is too big for our God. One day they will all be reunited and everything will be good and perfect. But I pray for them now as their little hearts break. Father be with them please. Every moment of every day. We know you are always there, but there are many who care so deeply about this family who need reassurance that you really do have them in your loving arms. Please give these people hope and renew their faith in You. Thank you Lord. Amen.
