“The eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms: and he shall thrust out the enemy from before thee; and shall say, Destroy them.” Deuteronomy 33:2
I had slept fitfully for a few hours, when just before 2:00 this morning, I awoke, worried. I padded to the study, found the number and called the hospital.
“I’m Shirley Buxton, Rebecca Cowen’s mother. How is she?”
A few hours before, my beautiful daughter had been admitted to the hospital. My beautiful daughter for whom life has shown an unusually jagged edge, and to whom rugged challenges have been thrown. My beautiful daughter who is of strong determination and who is up to it all; who loves God, His people, and her family.
“She’s doing well. Asleep at the moment.”
I soothed myself with God’s Word, went back to bed, and slept.

Shirley, I will keep you and Rebecca in my prayers. There are times when our only comfort comes form the Word of God.
Thank you, Helen.
Becky is in our prayers. As you are Sis. Buxton I hope all will be ok. Peace
Sweet Sister Buxton, my heart is with you. When one of us hurt, we all hurt. Prayers are going up, God will take care of your daughter. Strength and peace to you and Brother Buxton.
There are only a select few, mostly mothers, who know the meaning of the midnite hours.
Our prayer is for comfort for mother and the touch of our Jesus for daughter.
