Today before the end of our church service a young man that lives at the homeless shelter was notified that his brother had just been killed. I was asked to join several others as will took Chuck aside to pray for him.
Immediately, I flashed back to the day many years ago when my family received the same news about my brother Robin. I knew the intensity of the pain that Chuck was feeling. As tears began to flow I hugged him and told him how very sorry I was!
We smothered Chuck with God`s love and grace and took turns praying. If you have to receive devastating news; church is probably one of the best place to be.
I plan to visit Chuck this week to check on him and perhaps share some of my memories of my brother Robin and how my family survived.
Galatians 6:2 Bear one another`s burden, and so fulfill the law of Christ.
