Some of you may have already heard but yesturday, the family of Stepehn Curtis Chapman suffered a loss. Thier teenage son was moving the SUV in their driveway, not seeing his little sister, Maria Sue and hit her. It is reported that several family members witnessed the accident. She later passed away at ths hospital. Maria Sue was 5 years old and the youngest of the three girls they had adopted from China.
Maybe it is due to our own adoption or just being parents of a young child but this has hit in a very personal way for their family. My heart is just broken for them.
Please keep their family in prayer during this loss. Please keep their son who must be broken in prayer as well. May he and they remember all the love they spoke into her life instead of the horror of the last moments. How precious it is the time she got to spend with them versus the lonliness of being an orphan. Please lift them up.
