What another great day at 5 Point.  Worship was incredible and God's Word spoke to people.  We blew our all time attendance record out of the water.  Building incredible momentum going into our egg drop and Easter weekend.  I'll share a lot more in the morning but right now I want to share my heart because it is heavy.  Children are truly a special gift from God.  Grand children take it to another whole level.  I just left the hospital watching my Grand son gasping to breath.  Grayson (2 month old) spent the night last night at Greenville Memorial and will be there again tonight.  Unless something changes in the morning he won't be coming home tomorrow either.  I was literally heart broken watching him try to breath  I wanted to trade places with him.  I wanted to take the tears of his Mommy and make all the hurt go away.  I wanted to pick him up and hold him close to let him know Big Daddy was there and loved him oh so much.  But I couldn't do any of this.  All I could do was pray over him and beg God to touch his body.  For God to give Lawson and Michelle some rest because they are exhausted. 

We left the hospital and went across the street to McDonald's.  On the drive home Deb was on the phone talking to some friends about Grayson.  As I was riding I began thinking about Grayson and just how much I love him and just how much I was hurting for him.   And it hit me.  God hurts for every one of his children.  God hurts because we hurt.  None of this has surprised God.  Hudson (my 2 year old Grandson) is laying on my shoulder as I type this and he brings me so much joy just as God's children bring him joy.  Through my Grand Children I'm beginning to understand how much God loves me and you.

As you read this please pray for the Clary family. 

I'm going to bed, really tired.
