Only God could write such a redemptive story.

For the Colson Center, I'm John Stone Street with the Point.

During World War II, Jewish teenager, Fania Rosenfield, lost nearly her entire family to the Nazis.

She somehow managed to escape the slaughter happening in her town and found refuge for two years with a Ukrainian family before settling in Israel to begin a new life.

Fania repeatedly told the story to her children and grandchildren

of the brave Ukrainian family that took her in.

And a few weeks ago, when the Russian invasion of Ukraine was imminent,

Fania's granddaughter made a choice to reach out to the family that had saved her grandmother.

Now, two young cousins from that Ukrainian family have fled to Israel and are safe with

Fania's family.

In the utter darkness of wartime, like we're now witnessing in Ukraine, we wonder why a good

God would let such evil happen.

Stories like this, of families transcending national, political, ethnic, and generational lines

to sacrificeally love one another, reminds us to thank God for allowing such

beauty in the world. For the Colson Center, I'm John Stone Street with The Point.
