Because he lives I can face tomorrow

We are heartbroken to share that last night we lost our baby Joel. It has been a long and surreal 48 hours. We were in Kansas with Ben's brother and sister in law and are now traveling back home to rest. Please pray for our family as we grieve.

Because he lives I can face tomorrow
Because he lives all fear is gone
Because i know he holds the future
And life is worth living,
Just because he lives

You are in my prayers. Baby Joel will always have a special place in your heart. I can't say I know exactly how you feel, but I can share in your grief. Love you.

Christine and Ben,
It's hard to see or even try to understand the purpose in this right now. We've been there. It's aweful. Take comfort in hearing that there is indeed a wonderful,genuine, and miraculous purpose in all He allows to happen in our lives. We are praying for you and are grieving with you. It's okay. If you ever want to talk in the future ( or write :) please "ring" me! He is risen! Love, Matt and Heather
