Only through God’s grace and mercy
Steven Curtis and Mary Beth Chapman appeared on Good Morning America this morning to talk about losing their 5-year-old daughter, Maria. You can watch the interview on YouTube.
I had intended to post about the rough day we had at our house. Somehow, after watching that, a delay in moving to a bigger house and a broken air conditioner are nothing. Nothing. I am so blessed. How dare I complain?
Those days are hard. Our own things always seem so big. But there’s always someone with something bigger. It’s good to keep perspective.

Friends of mine were able to see SCC in his first concert after losing Maria. They said it was a very emotional night and that he asked permission from the audience to sing “Cinderella.”
August 6th, 2008 at 9:00 pmThanks for the heads up. I will be sure to watch that. I’ve been thinking about their family lately.
August 6th, 2008 at 10:42 pmWow. Thanks for sharing this, Carrie.
August 7th, 2008 at 3:26 amI just finished watching the Chapmans on Larry King Live. They are an amazing family, but it was a heartbreaking show. Their faith should be an example to us all.
August 7th, 2008 at 5:44 pmI saw them on GMA. It was so moving and hopeful to see this family discuss the accident and give each other so much comfort and respect and love. It was amazing to watch and has stayed with me since.
