Plight of a mom and dad whose only
Child had been killed in a car accident by
An impaired driver.
One woman, a close friend of theirs,
Lamented their loss.
"Their lives are totally destroyed."
We tried to comprehend their anguish.
But another gal added her thoughts,
"Perhaps not destroyed, but built."
I wrote her words in my notebook so
I won't forget them.
Perhaps one day the wounded pair will
Be able to look back and see that God was
Creating beauty from ashes.
Perhaps.
Isaiah 61:3
