Grace

A few nights ago, Grace came to our door.  She attends the same church as us and lives near us.

Her daughter had given birth to twin boys that day at 2:30pm.  At 3:00pm, Grace's daughter died, leaving 2 little boys who will never know their mother, never know the warmth of her touch or feel the love in her voice.

Grace was visibly shaken.  She had run all the way from the hospital to find us.  She needed help.  Thanks to all of our amazing supporters, we were able to help her with the hospital bill and help her buy milk for the baby boys.  She left to return to the hospital, promising to repay us the small amount we had given her.

We are just thankful we were home that day, thankful that we were able to help, thankful for the blessings we have so we can share with others when they have need.
