For the last five nights and four days the whole nation has been gripped by the search for a young boy scout Brennan Hawkins who was lost in the rugged Uinta mountains of Utah. 3,000 people gave up their Father's Day celebrations to join the search and rescue. Today - he was found by a volunteer on a remote trail.
After four days, many had lost hope that he was alive. A year ago, just fifteen miles away in the same mountain range, another young boy scout walked away and has never been found.
Today, Brennan was found alive and well. Every one is celebrating! This is a great day!!
A powerful reminder for us - "volunteers" in search and rescue of people who are lost spiritually - to never give up hope in our search!
The mother just talked to some reporters a few minutes ago while walking into the hospital. She said, "People say that the heavens are closed. I am here to tell you that the heavens are open. Prayers are heard. Children do come home."
Indeed.
