With the increasingly disturbing news of Haiti on our screens we get a stark reminder of the frailty of life and how death can suddenly come. Closer to home, I am reading daily the blog of a friend who is watching his beloved wife, Karena, slowly die. She has just days to live now. They have 3 young children.
I am full of admiration for him as he faces death head on. His blog (Craig Mackay blog) is full of love, tenderness, grace, humour and certainty - accepting his wife's imminent death but certain too of her hope in Jesus Christ and certain of her eternal destination.
I can not imagine the pain of having to explain all this to 3 perplexed children whilst swallowed up in personal grief, but Craig is a hero - a hero of faith, a hero of a husband and a hero of a dad.
