Thought I would relay this story.

On 5/3 there was an accident involving a bus full of kids from the Greenlawn church in Lubbock Tx. Six young ladies lost their lives and the youth minister is in critical condition.

As the parents came together at the church (there were four buses in all on the trip, so no one knew who was ok or not) and as they found out whether their own kids were ok, only to find out that the people sitting next to them had lost a child, there was to be certain much crying and grief(and will continue to be) .

But there was something else. As the "church" family gathered around with each other the first night , a reporter who had come in to film the tragedy, saw something else. She saw family....she saw community..... she saw Jesus. She saw something that she could not understand. She saw PEACE!!!

She came back the next night (when the church held a devotional, people were there most all night) only this time without a camera. She saw it again. She asked someone about this PEACE. And they began to share Jesus right then and she told them she had to know more about this PEACE and community of believers...

miracles happen in the strangest ways....................

Praise God.

As I said there will be many questions and much grief over the loss of these young ones. Yet Jesus says there is REJOICING in heaven over the saving of one lost sheep. And Jehovah Jireh is already giving peace that passes understanding to those who grieve. God bless them.
