At a small gathering last night for some friends of Desiring God, I met a dear saint who had a sister with Prader-Willi syndrome. Her sister died at age 35, many years ago.
Here are a few quotes:
“It is entirely a grace that mom and dad stayed married.”
“I’m glad I’ve forgotten so many stories from those days. It was terribly difficult.”
It was obvious as we spoke that those days were hard on her whole family. And equally obvious that she embraces God as sovereign and good over all things. I was greatly encouraged. We should not hesitate to speak “as sorrowful, yet always rejoicing.”
And she left me with this happy statement:
“I want many copies of the book (Just the Way I Am)!”
So do I, dear sister! Lord willing, just a few more weeks to go.
