Ali....
I'm so sorry to hear about Daniel. What a man he sounds like! I wish I could have met him. How life can change in an instant! I will be praying for his wife and little girls. I feel pain for them, and for everyone on the Mercy Ship who knew him.
But still...we say "Thank you, Lord", even though we never knew Daniel...God is still so good ... like the song, right? Mon Dieu est bon - He is good, He is so good for me.
My friend Hettie was on Mercy ships a couple times now and the stories are so heart-wrenching. As you grieve, we grieve! May God give comfort as only He can.
