Struggling with “Why”…. Again!
I quickly headed to my computer to look up an address this morning. I checked my mail and learned some sad news. Denise Sproul, RC Sproul Jr’s wife is gone and is now with the Lord. I am so sad… Why? Because Denise Sproul was the mom of 8 children, one of which had severe disabilities. How does a father care for 8 kids by himself? I am so overwhelmingly sad. For some reason I was working under the assumption that if God allowed a family to adopt children and parent kids with severe disabilities that he would ensure that at least their mommy would be there for them. But… no.
I will pray for the Sprouls, and for me.
You can see Denise and RC Junior in this video at 14 minutes. It’s a video about two church leaders: Chuck Colson and RC Sproul and their journey with special-needs grandchildren. Watch it if you have time.
