Tough Times

Thank the Lord that his comfort is ever present. I'm not sure how someone would keep their head above water if they didn't have the hope that comes from God.

I've had some tough counseling sessions the last few days. Add to that the two children that drowned this week (visitation today, funerals tomorrow), VBS everyday, no time off this week, 3 back-to-back meetings tonight (scholarship committee, board meeting, elders), along with all the normal responsibilities and whatever.

But it's hard to get too down when God is still so good.

UPDATE: Even if you don't get down, you certainly can feel great sorrow. I just got back from the funeral home. The sight of two little caskets containing a couple of toddlers clutching their toys was enough to rattle even the most stoic.
