CONNECTING PEOPLE TO JESUS AND TO ONE ANOTHER

The following are reflections from members of The Vine Church

that describe a time in their lives when God was real, and

beyond a doubt, the Author of their lives!

Twenty seven years ago on July 4 , God kept His promise to

take care of our daughter, Sara, for eternity. During her short

three week life, we spent most of our time with her at the NICU

in Walter Reed. During one of those times I believe I saw Jesus

standing outside of the NICU looking at us. I know that He was

telling us that everything would be alright. Although I wanted

Sara to stay with us longer, Jesus gave me assurance that He

would take care of her, and that He would comfort us through

our grief.

Less than a year later, our first son, Adam, was born. And four

years later, on July 4 , our second son, Aaron, was a born. God

completed our family with our two wonderful sons! He took at

time of sorrow and turned it into a time of joy! Every day He

gives us the hope of seeing our daughter, Sara, again! Praise

God for being real to our family!
