See Yan lost his only child.
Ben was climbing a rock wall in a
Gym when he went limp and was
Gone.
He was thirty years old.
See Yan is my nephew.
And since his wife died a
Number of years ago, he is
Now sadly, intensely alone.
I was searching for a card to
Send him when I noticed a
Packet my friend had recently
Given me.
Shuffling through the cards I found it,
The perfect one.
On the front is a desert scene with
This verse printed out:
"I will make a way in the wilderness and
Rivers in the desert."
As my nephew gropes his way through
This barren season of his life, I pray that
He will find that God has already made a
Way for him, that when he is desperately
Thirsty, God will provide a stream.
I pray that in See Yan's sorrow our
Compassionate Father will be his oasis, a
Soothing balm for his broken heart.
