Murray Family Blessing
Donation protected
To all our families and friends:
This past weekend Ella Reece Murray took her last heartbeat and was ushered into the hands of Jesus Christ. With unfathomable sadness and rivers of tears, David and Anna-Maria held their baby girl and declared to the heavens, “Not my will but Thine”. As many of you know, Anna-Maria and David waited for more than 5 years for the privilege of becoming parents. They battled the sadness of infertility, multiple failed inseminations, IVF egg retrieval and transfers and a chemical pregnancy. Last August, God answered their prayers with baby Ella, but for reasons unknown to us, the Lord God Almighty took Ella Reece from the womb at 28 weeks gestation, never to feel the warm embrace of a loving mother or the steady hand of a compassionate father.
On behalf of the Murrays, I want you all to be encouraged that although David and Anna-Maria have felt the sting of death, their faith has not been shaken. They declare to the heavens and to you that God is and will always be in control. February 15th will always be Ella Reece’s birthday, one in which we will celebrate for years to come. But for now, our hearts are heavy, and their need is great.
Many of you have experienced the grief that David and Anna-Maria are going through, and so we ask that you pray about blessing the Murray family by helping cover the cost of giving Ella Reece a proper burial and for what lies ahead. Later this month, Ella is to be transported from Montana to Lakeland, Florida, where she will be interned. We are presently in the process of making the final arrangements and ask you consider donating to this Go Fund Me Account that we have established for the Murrays.
You, I, all of us, can now become the visible hands and feet of Jesus Christ and prove to the world that there is substance to our faith and not just hollow words or songs on the radio. Just as Apostle James told us:
Suppose you see a brother or sister who has no food or clothing, and you say, “Good-bye and have a good day; stay warm and eat well”—but then you don’t give that person any food or clothing. What good does that do? So you see, faith by itself isn’t enough. Unless it produces good deeds, it is dead and useless. … How can you show me your faith if you don’t have good deeds? I will show you my faith by my good deeds."
So it is from a humble heart, that I personally thank all of you for all your prayers during this past week and the financial assistance you give to the Murrays as they struggle with their loss. We are without words of how much we love you all.
