We received news this morning that little 2 year old Jimena (one of the victims of the daycare fire that occured at the beginning of this month here in our city) has passed away.
Sheri and Marcela (a Mexican friend) have gone to the memorial service this afternoon. Please pray for them as they search for how to comfort Jimena'a mother and father. Pray that God's love would be so evident in Sheri and Marcela. You may remember from a previous blog entry that Marcela has also experienced this kind of pain. Her youngest child passed away almost a year ago now in the same hospital. She knows what Jimena'a mom is going through.
Pray that God would bring something wonderful out of such tragedy. Only He can do such a miracle.
Matthew 5:4 says "Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted." Please pray for comfort for Jimena's parents.
It isn't easy to be here in times like this, but this is when the church needs to stand up and be the church.
Thank you for enabling us to be His hands and feet in a place and time like this.
