Dear Friends and Family:
Joshua and I come to you this Lord's Day with heavy hearts. We found out just before bed last night that a dear couple in our Sunday School class lost their twin girls during birth. The couples names are Ashley and Barrett. Our entire class is deeply saddened by this loss. Joshua and I found ourselves unable to sleep last night not knowing how to best minister to and pray for this couple.
For we know what it is like to sit at the feet of Jesus and pray that he spare the life of our child, but this is a loss that has deeply impacted us. We found ourselves drying tears during church as our pastor beautifully intertwined their story into his sermon about going through the storms in life.
I write to ask for your prayers. This is a couple that will need deep prayer even weeks, months and years from now. I thank you in advance for all of your prayers. Also, if you feel compelled to give to this family in the manner our Sunday School class has chosen via monetary gifts to purchase frozen meals for the future, please contact me via e-mail.
In His footsteps,
Carri
I too had trouble sleeping last night. It is such a tragedy for such a sweet couple. They are certainly in our thoughts and prayers and will continue to be for a long time. You know that Barrett's dad works with Reggie Quimby and has been sick for some time. His heart is pretty much gone and he is not eligible for a transplant, yet he continues to work for the Lord. He is a saint.
