I know the Bible says He will never give us more than we can bear but so much grief piled on one person so fast does make me wonder sometimes; however they do seem to come thru it stronger than ever. My prayers for them and you also that He may hold all of you in His everlasting arms and comfort you. It kinda reminds me of my own mother who lost a daughter, her mother and two brothers in one year and how she coped with it has always been an example for me to follow.

I remember reading how a mother lost all five of her sons on a ship that was torpedoed in WWII.. That was the Sullivan brothers and at the time there was a lot of publicity about them all joining up and serving on the same ship (SS Juneau); however, after their tragic loss a law was passed to prevent such a thing from happening again.

Author: Hillbilly [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 13:09:59 12/06/09 Sun I couldn't remember the names nor the ship. All I could remember was it happened and it all came to mind while I was writing the post on her losses. No matter how much we have to bear we can always look and see someone who has had to bear more. God's grace is sufficient for all of us though.
