Perhaps you've been following the odyssey of Stephanie and Christian Nielson, who survived a plane crash last summer and have been struggling to recover from their injuries ever since. I know many prayers and well wishes have been offered on their behalf, yet still I marvel at the wonderful miracle that she has rallied and is well enough to continue blogging again. I am so happy for them, for their children, their siblings, for their mothers (of course, fathers, too).
Of all life's valleys, I cannot imagine how this one has been to pass through, and my thoughts have often dwelt with the mothers of Stephanie and Christian, who suddenly had to watch their children go through such suffering. I don't doubt they have drawn deeply on unseen powers, and their courage, grace, and endurance have given me more than a few quiet moments of reflection.
At any rate, I don't mean to be so somber, especially after reading the delightful and bemused observations of Stephanie herself. How a girl comes through what she has with her sense of humor intact...or perhaps humor is partly what got her to this point.
I thought you might want to see for yourself...and here's wishing you a lovely weekend while you're at it!
