Several years ago, our lives crossed paths with a couple who needed the Lord. Their children were already grown, and so I never met their kids. My dad introduced them to Jesus, and they were never the same. They are passionate people, and when they met Jesus, they sold out lock, stock and barrel. Their lives and volunteerism have touched many.
My parents have since moved away, and Stan and Genie have moved several times as well. But they still all keep in touch. They called mom and dad Thanksgiving weekend to say hi, but missed each other.
The next time they spoke, the tone was much more somber. This time Genie was clinging to a photo of her daughter who had tragically died that day.
Today Stan and Genie said one of many goodbyes to Tina. They were joined by 20,000 other mourners who gave Officer Griswold and her comrades a hero's memorial.
We never know what tragedy lies around the corner for those in our lives that we love...or for ourselves for that matter. I'm so glad they have Jesus to comfort them, and I'm so glad they have the Body of Christ to be His hands and feet.
We you join me in praying for Stan and Genie DeLong today?
