"Trey Tuesday" - April 12, 2016

The Rest

Typically my posts are about our sweet Trey.  Today I would like to highlight Jay and Rachel and their journey as Trey's parents.

Rest - ahhhhh what a refreshing concept, invoking images of a vacation to Cancun, a dreamy nap, or a peaceful walk in the summertime.  Not exactly the picture of surviving the loss of your son to cancer.  But I can see Rest all over Jay and Rachel:

Remain - Jesus said, "Remain in Me...No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine."  John 15:4

Endure - "If we endure, we will also reign with Him."  2 Timothy 2:12

Surrender - "Father, if You are willing, remove this cup from Me.  Nevertheless, not My will, but Yours, be done."  Luke 22:42

Tell - "Carry each other's burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ."  Galatians 6:2

Thank you, God, for showing us that it is possible to R.E.S.T. in the face of trauma, trial and every heartache!
