The last 6 days I have thought so often of the Chapman family and their tragedy. For those not aware, Steven Curtis Chapman is one of my favorite Christian artists. Last week their youngest adopted daughter, Maria Sue age 5, was accidently run over in their driveway by her teen-age brother. Once again, tragedy strikes and does not seem to make any sense through our eyes. However, the circumstances does not change God's goodness. I had read a quote by one of the Chapman's pastor, Mike Smith. A very profound statement - "You should hold on to what you know in the midst of a crisis, because the temptation is to hold on to what you don't know - to ask 'why did this happen?' " Below is a link to one of his newer videos entitled "Cinderella". I really like the video but what I like more is the story behind the video. (It follows the video.) Just what a wonderful reminder for anyone to look at priorities - where do your kids fall on your 'to-do' list. I know it has certainly made me look at all of their 'interruptions' differently.
I have not yet figured out how to embed the video on my blog (yes, I have read the instructions several times but just not getting it). However, you can follow this link if you are not familiar with Cinderella and hear it. The whole thing is 9 minutes. If nothing else, listen to the last 4 1/2 minutes.
