You are Family- Part 2

To our Rockway Family.

We love you. You have been the hands and feet of Christ over the past 7 days. Miscarriages are so common, but the pain is still so real. What has overwhelmed us has not been the death of our child, but the compassion of Jesus we have seen in you. In such a dark time, your love and compassion have been simply . . . greater. Many of you have shared hope through your own experiences. Thank you for the emails, text messages, phone calls, hugs, tears, visits, and meals. They may seem small to you. They are big to us. And perhaps they really are small- it just goes to prove that the smallest amount of light is infinitely more powerful than the darkest part of night.

The ground beneath us for the past week has been holy. God has been with us. In the doctor's office, as we held hands and heard silence, it was holy. In the midst of all of our pain and anguish, we can sense that something else is going on here.

The body of Christ is busy being exactly what it was created to be- caring for those who are in need. You have ministered to us. You have ministered to Christ.
Matthew 25- "I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was in prison and you came to visit me."

You are family. You are friends. We love you.
For the glory of God,
Kyle and Jessica

We love you both very much. You have been a gift from Father to this church. I have seen the Saviour in you both these last few days. I praise Him for that. Thank you for loving Jesus in the easy and in the very hard.
