Blogging Break for Calamity Acres

Friends, we ask for your prayers. 

We have suffered an unbelieveable loss here. 

Keith's youngest son, Brandon, who spent his high school years with us, 
was found dead Tuesday in his apartment in Council Bluffs, 
where he was living and working. 

We are devastated, and ask that you pray for Keith and his family, who are suffering this horrible loss so badly. 

His sisters Andrea, Amber and Lauren have now lost their second brother. 

Our world is reeling, but we know God has a plan for all of us, and He called
Brandon home very early. 

We'll be back soon... until then, please remember us in your prayers.

    I am reeling from just READING this; I am at a loss to comprehend how someone handles it. Of course, it can only be handled by being carried in God's arms of love; I will be praying that all involved FEEL those arms during this devastating time.

    So, so sorry to read of your devastating loss, both yourself and the rest of the family. No words can express your heartache I am sure. I pray for that peace that passeth all understanding to envelope you and that you will know the comfort of the Lord's arms as you endeavour to come to terms with this tragedy. Blessings.

    Dear Mary Ann, I'm so sorry to hear of your tragic news. Dave sends his condolences too and he was simply asking why I was so distressed when I was blog-checking that he wanted to make sure that he had been mentioned.
    We are both thinking and caring about what has happened.
    Best wishes Gillian and dave
