Musings at Altitude

Denise and I both shed some tears yesterday.

It was right after my early morning scripture and prayer time, and I sought out the story of Audrey Caroline.  I’d been following her Mom’s blog for the last few weeks and yet I didn’t know what had happened to create such words and such songs, and ultimately demonstrate such incredible faith.

So yesterday for some reason I wanted to find out.

And I did…and I cried…and I shared it with Denise…and she cried…and this morning I want to share it with you.

If you too want to read something special, go here – The Story That Caused the Tears – but have tissues with you, and have the volume up so you can listen to the music while you read.

And then if you want to see more and be inspired in song and in pictures with the incredible faith of that family, go here – Inspiration.

And finally, if you want to read why it means so much to Denise and I, go here – Our Own Tears.

James 1:12 says, “Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him.”

Each of us are tested, and each of us face our own trials.

Denise and I still travel out to Los Angeles to spend time with Gabrielle, who never had the chance to breathe outside the womb.

We cherish each and every trip and every single moment together with her.

And 17 years later, we still wonder why, which is in it’s own way a continuing test and a continuing trial.

Thanks for letting me share.
