October 21, 1970. Fifty years ago. A half-century seems like yesterday to Bob and Karen Freitas. That was the day their precious boy was born. But instead of seeing a healthy pink baby, he was blue all over. Their only son was born with a congenital heart defect. Their world was shattered. But God had a sovereign plan to bring blessing.
While this book shares Bob and Karen’s story of facing and navigating through brokenness, it is so much more. It is about discovering how God uses brokenness to bless us. It is about seeing the blessings in the burdens and God’s purposes in our circumstances. When God sends trials, they are not accidents but His appointments to see His sovereign grace at work in us and others.
