As Christians we know, at least theoretically, that we are not exempt from the tragedies common to everyone. However, it comes as a shock when situations arise which make us feel hopeless.
My husband and I have been married now for 23 years and we have two teenage children. We enjoy a happy family life and our son and daughter are Christians working and witnessing for the Lord. It was not always so!
I was a child of the manse. My father was a part-time minister and later went full-time. After my 'A' levels, I went to teacher training college where I met my husband who was also a Christian. College days were fun with lots of independence. We were married at the end of our college course and we were excited about the prospect of setting up home together.
