So often there are times I am amazed and excited at how God works, to see his handywork. Then there are times like today I'm stunned and just don't see His purpose.
Cheryl Bratt, the wife of Jim Bratt, was taken to the hospital Sunday night with pneumonia. He body became septic from it and she passed away last evening. They still had two children at home (a couple in college), she was on the Christian school board, taught at LC for a while, she worked hard with the hispanic community in this area (using what she learned from the years they were missionaries in Bolivia)...and suddenly God says it's time to come home?!?! When there are still so many who need to know Christ's love, why would God take away someone who was such a strong proclaimer of his gospel and grace?
I guess to remind us that he is still God and his timing is perfect and not our own. Yet his grace is sufficient.
May the Bratt family know his sovereign precense today in a real way.
