I came across Angie Smith’s blog a few days ago and began reading her story about the recent loss of their daughter, Audrey Caroline. Angie is the wife of Todd Smith, a member of the Christian music group, Selah. Though it was late at night, I couldn’t stop reading till I had read all of the entries, alternating between tears streaming down my cheeks and laughter over the bits of joy sprinkled throughout. It was with shock when today I read her latest entries about the sudden death of their 2 1/2 month old nephew, Luke, just seven weeks after losing their own newborn daughter. Luke is the son of Todd’s sister, Nicol, formerly with Selah, as well. My heart is heavy for the loss and pain this family has had to endure. Combined with the tragic death of Maria Sue, Steven Curtis Chapman’s (another Christian singer) 5 year old daughter just last week, it seems too much to take in and understand. Please pray for these families.
Lord,
I beg for your mercy for these families. Give them a comfort and a peace that passes all understanding. Sustain them, hold them close. Let them trust in Your faithfulness.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
