Steven Curtis Chapman Family

Tonight my wife and I watched Larry King Live which had the Chapman family on. They told the story of the tragic loss of one of the 3 daughters they adopted from China. It was very moving. What an incredible family they are. I was struck by one particular thing. The son who accidentally ran over his sister, was asked by Larry had the family helped him make it through. He said very much so, but he specifically spoke of his brother Caleb who was right there right after the accident. He said all he wanted to do was run away, get away from the scene of the accident but Caleb ran him down tackling him. He held him down and hugged on him telling him everything was going to be ok. I thought of how much that is like God. When we think we have hit rock bottom, he will run after us and hold onto us telling us everything will be ok. The only question is will we let him. Will we listen to his loving plea or will we continue to run away in our shame. Wow, what a testimony this family has. If you have the chance, watch this program.
