Death and compassion
Friday, February 16th, 2007
Haylina, one of your sisters from Marseilles, is in a hospital bed dieing from cancer. She has a boy who is 16 and another who is about 9. Their father is violent and has never taken care of them, so the Marseilles church has stepped in. They are caring for the boys now, and after, they will do all they can to “adopt” them so they aren’t split up. They will also be able to continue living with their spiritual family.
Even though we hate sickness and death, once again they bring out the best in God’s people and become opportunities for displaying grace and compassion.
