It's tragic when a child passes away, but even more when it's a horrible accident. Maria was playing in the driveway when one of the Chapmans' sons drove up in an SUV. He didn't see her and accidentally hit her. She was rushed to the hospital and later died from injuries. The Chapmans had just celebrated Maria's 5th birthday eleven days ago, their eldest daughter's engagement and the graduation of their son from high school...and now they have to bury their daughter. Please keep the Chapmans and especially their son in your prayers.
Oh I will dance with Cinderella
I don't wanna miss even one song,
Cuz all too soon the clock will strike midnight
And she'll be gone
And sometimes, for reasons beyond our understanding, she's gone before the clock strikes midnight.
Last night, as many of you already know, CCM artist Steven Curtis Chapman's youngest daughter, Maria Sue, left us. Unexpectedly, the Prince tapped her papa on the shoulder and gently whispered, "May I have this dance?"
I can imagine the joy in Maria's eyes when she at last met her new Partner, when Jesus took her in His arms and spun her around the Ballroom, and as He shows her around the Castle, her new home.
May Maria's new dancing partner, the Prince of Peace, bring peace to the broken hearts of those who miss dear little Maria. And may we cherish our dances with the ones we love, while they're still with us.
