I just got a call from my daughter, Mary, (the one that had cancer) asking for us to pray for her husband, Clayton. There was a fatal industrial accident this morning which Clayton was involved in. He was backing a loaded dump truck up, had all his backup warnings on and following standard safety procedures. Two guys were not following safety procedures and not paying attention to what was going on and Clayton backed over the two of them. One guy died in Clayton's arms; the other one is in the hospital with severe injuries but looks like he will live. Clayton is devastated to say the least. He could not even talk to Mary when his boss called her and gave the phone to Clayton to talk to her. The police were there and have totally exonerated him from any liability but it does not take away the hurt and guilt he is feeling. Mary is understandably very concerned. She is afraid Clayton will feel he can not ever work heavy equipment again and it is all he knows how to do. Mary said she knew that we would pray and that it would help Clayton. Clayton has made great strides towards getting to know God. My prayer is that this will bring him totally to God. Only by the grace of God will Clayton be able to forgive himself. Clayton is the softest person I think I know. He went hunting one time, shot a deer and cried for the deer. He has never been hunting since. Please pray as God leads. My prayer is for Clayton's salvation, peace and the grace to forgive himself. Thank you so much for your prayers, VeeVee |
