Simple Prayer Request

I have a favor to ask all of you who keep up with our family and read our blog.....I would like you to say a prayer for some close friends of ours, the Dieterich's.  For the past three month I swear this family cannot catch a break.  It all started back when they found a water leak in their house that seemed to have been leaking slowly for months.  This caused mold to grow in a lot of places and basically part of their house was down to the studs and the beams under the house were exposed as well, yes no floor.  About 2 months later with a new bathroom, floors, and bleaching of walls and everything imaginable even the central heat and air they have moved back in and have resumed life back to normal.  Not long after that my friend's husband, who is a farmer cut half of his finger off in a belt attached to and auger that loads grain out of grain bins.  Grant it this could have been a whole lot worst; none-of-the-less, the tragedies keep coming their way.  The next incident in line was their oldest son who busted his head open that required 4 staples in the back of his head.  This happened while on vacation in Florida.  Yesterday afternoon their youngest daughter caught the corner of a picture frame right above the eye that needed 2 stitches.  Now the worst of all was saved for last that occurred this morning when an employee of theirs was in an accident with their company 18 wheeler hauling grain and a woman was killed.  The tragedies just keep coming their way and the only thing they can ask is WHY?  They know that God has a hand in all of this but what is the lesson they are to learn?  What is it they are not seeing to have things turn around?  The only thing I can think to do for them is pray for them, that the Lord will find favor with them and they will look to him for guidance, because He is the true salvation!  To the Dieterich's, our family is praying for you that you may soon have peace with everything around you!
