Thank you for your beautiful prayer! Just as a quick update, I spoke to Cindy's sister (Annette) who attends our church this evening. Cindy has still not been told about her children as she is still in critical condition. The doctors warned that she was too weak to hear the news, but advised the family that they should all be with her when she learns of the childrens' death. Annette is the only Christian in the family but she's convinced that God is allowing the entire family to see a glimpse of "peace that passes understanding" in her as she is with them all during this difficult time. The police have arrested a 17-year old boy and charged him with the death of the three children. He allegedly intended the bomb for an individual who stays at the house from time to time; this individual wasn't even there at the time he threw the bomb into the window. It is totally incomprehensible to me . . . the loss of one child seems more than a parent could bear, but the loss of all three at one time . . . I'm just thankful that God is sovereign and His purpose through this tragedy will ultimately bring Him glory. Thank you again for your prayers.
