The story of Benson, Kristen, and their son Luke is a story close to my heart. The past several days I have been following this wonderful couple that I have met on several occasions through Brett's brother Nick. The couple found out not too long ago during Kristen's pregnancy that their baby would have heart complications, resulting in a disease know as Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome (HLHS). Their faith was amplified by hearing this news when others would have ran away from faith. I have never seen two Christian people with such faith in God and trust that He knows whats right for them even when they don't understand why things happen.
Luke Sexton was born and lived for only a short time being born on July 2, 2010 and passing away on July 9, 2010. But still Benson and Kristen, even though their hearts are crushed, still believe that their baby boy was here for God's great plan and while he was only here for a short while, his life and their testimony has been shared with THOUSANDS and all for the Glory of God. If one life is changed because of Luke, it will be worthwhile.
Continue to pray for Benson and Kristen even though their baby boy has gone to see Jesus. Pray for their comfort and the strength to carry on. Pray for their continuous understanding of God's love and the hope that lives were changed for the better. Pray for their family who is probably exhausted and for them to get rest as well. You can check out their blog at www.lukesexton.blogspot.com and even make donations to the Luke 1:37 Ministries. A celebration service is to be held tomorrow at 11:00 in Campbellsville, Kentucky.
