Bitter Sweet

Today has been very bitter sweet, let me explain.  A couple of days ago our boss Simon went to the hospital with his wife who was very pregnant and stayed over for a couple of nights, we found out via text this morning that she gave birth to a healthy girl at 2am.  It was an exciting moment for all of us at Urban Junction.  

But with the joy came sorrow.  I got another text this morning from Phil it said that Cormac and Karen Shaw's 12 year old son had died in his sleep, and was rightly so asking for support and prayer.  I don't know the Shaw family really well, but I know them well enough to be heart broken for their loss.  They will definitely be in my prayers.  

Please pray for both of these families, one rejoicing in a new life, a first child; and the other a grieving family suffering a loss.
