One by one they came...

I was making my nightly climb up the hill like I have done the last several days to see my ANGEL by myside (Kara) and I had to ask her, "have I already been here today?" She said, "Yes baby." I couldn't remember.

The last few days have been such a blur and I think I was on auto pilot for the most part, but I guess that is what you do when the pain was too much to bear. I knew everyone must be praying for me to be strong enough to do what I needed to do for Leslie and Jason...and I was. I thank God for that, because now I am forever changed.

For God to grant me the grace to be able to carry things out that I so desperately didn't want to have to do...especially speak at her service...NEVER again can I tell HIM, I can't do that. If you KNOW ME....you know that I cannot speak infront of a crowd without "SNOT" crying like Bro. Bobby calls it. :) I am overwhelmed by what God can do. I knew HE could...but putting my FULL faith in him....HE didn't leave me in that most difficult time. Now I pray that Leslie & Jason continues to put their full FAITH in God to do unmeasureable amounts of blessings on to their life.

There is one thing I cannot get out of my mind. They had put our baby in the ground and Jason and Leslie had already told them that THEY wanted to be the one to put the dirt in the ground. One by one they came...

I was sitting by this point, just watching...first Jason. I was never so proud of him before. His daughter...and he stood up...took his tool and did what he had to do...FOR HER. Then they came...one by one...

Men...our family members...Jason's dad....my dad....Jason's friends...they came one by one and picked up a shovel and began to work and HELP Jason.

Now, BROOKLYN's Rainbow from this is....They came one by one to HELP!! What have you helped with lately....it maybe something you don't want to do...but what if you can help someone else out and pick up their load...help them carry it...because it is the right thing todo. I am not talking about just tragidies because LORD KNOWS SO MANY have come to our rescue and we are forever grateful...but...what about everyday life. What can we do to help somebody? What would it hurt to do the right thing and reach out to someone else. At work? At home? at church? for a stranger? For a friend? FOR AN ENEMY?

I challenge each of us to name a RAINBOW for BROOKLYN...what are you going to change about your life after knowing Brooklyn? Even when it is raining God can shine through and make a Rainbow.....What Rainbow did she create in your life?
