Our Hearts are Shattered

Submitted by vsample on Sun, 04/24/2016 - 15:18

Five months ago when I wrote the bio-page for this web site it was all true.  Now, however, things have changed.  On September 12, 2015 our sixteen year old grandson, Terrick, died in a vehicle accident. Two of his friends also died and another was critically injured.  Our hearts are shattered.  We still have four grandchildren but one is now in Heaven.  The young man, age nineteen, that was injured is recovering.  We are grateful to God that he is getting stronger every day.  We pray he will have a full recovery. 

I have written a short devotional about losing Terrick, titled Worth It.  This can be found on my home page under the devotional tab. 

On October 13, 2015 I left for Nepal and Thailand with a team from Visions Beyond Borders, a Christian Ministry that, in coordination with other mission groups, supports orphanages in Thailand and a Safe House for women rescued from the sex trafficing trade in Nepal.  Our trip lasted two weeks and I will be writing about our experiences soon.  My trip reports will also be under the devotionals tab.
