God is in control...

We had a great day at church today. Worship was very uplifting. Vacation Bible School started tonight. John had to get some rest (since he had to go to work) so we didn't make it tonight. I'm sure it was in God plan since I received a call from my friend, Leesa, about her niece, Addison. (Addison was born prematurely in April. Her due date was 8/1.) She has fought hard to survive. Leesa was in Colorado for a family wedding. She got the call this morning that Addison had passed away. My prayer partners and I have been praying for Addison from the beginning. She had been at death's door so many times and had rallied. We had been praying for God to be merciful if she wasn't meant to stay here on Earth with us. Today, she is with her Heavenly Father. I don't think we ever understand why children die. Addison's parents are saved, but had strayed from regular church attendance. I believe Addison may have been here for this little while to bring her Mom and Dad back into a regular communion with God. They had been praying and reading their Bibles more since her birth. I pray they will continue and unite with a church to help them through this difficult time. God thank you for loving us...
