Yesterday was Easter Sunday.
When we got home from church,, my wife starting preparing dinner for her family who were on their way to our house.
Then a phone call came.
Our close Christian neighbor up the street called and said her husband just died in front of her in the hospital as he was getting ready to be released.
They shocked him back to life 10 times and said they couldn't do it anymore.
So I went to the hospital and sat with her and she was holding up fine.
The daughter finally called and was on her way from Tennessee to Florida last night.
So I came home and we went back to the hospital after the family left.
My wife and her talked a lot together, other people from church showed up to comfort her.
We prayed for complete return to life.
When we left she just wanted to rest until her daughter came, expected in around midnight.
She was holding strong to Jesus the whole time.
Her husband was on a ventilator and not responding.
What a time for her to go through.
But she agreed with us that Jesus is there with her and will help her get through whatever happens.
The things that happen in life.
It's like we're never ready for them.
It's Jesus that gets us through them.
