Our church family is celebrating AND grieving today. We celebrate the life of a boy given to us, Matthew Knox Anderson, and grieve because he was taken from us at such a tender age. Today he would be 3. Oh how I miss him! He was always a joy and that is how we cling to him and remember him in our hearts. But the pain and sting of death still hurt and so sorrow and sadness remain our companion. I have learned through this tragedy that even as Christians, we suffer. Albeit, we do not suffer alone, but it still aches, still burns and quite frankly, still makes me want to vomit. But we love him still and it is because we love him so much that the wound goes so deeply.
I love you Anderson Family. You are in our thoughts and prayers today and everyday.
