Chiefs heiress Gracie Hunt shared a religious message on her Instagram account Monday after her family lost a cousin, Janie, in the tragic Texas flooding<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy heart aches for our extended family and friends who lost daughters\u2014for every life lost and every family shattered by the floods in Texas,\u201d Hunt wrote. \u201cI don\u2019t have easy answers, but I do know this: following Jesus doesn\u2019t spare us from pain\u2014but it means we never face it alone. \ud83e\udd0d<\/p>\n

\u201cEven in the darkest valleys, we hold on to the hope that this is not the end of the story.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOur hearts are broken alongside our families that are enduring this unimaginable tragedy. We are praying for them constantly,\u201d the camp wrote on its website.<\/p>\n

Janie, 9, was the great-granddaughter of William Herbert Hunt, the brother of late Chiefs founder Lamar Hunt.<\/p>\n

Gracie and her younger siblings, sister Ava and brother Knobel, are Lamar\u2019s grandchildren.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur hearts are broken by the devastation from the floods in Wimberley and the tragic loss of so many lives \u2014 including a precious little Hunt cousin, along with several friend\u2019s (sic) little girls,\u201d Tavia wrote Saturday on Instagram.<\/p>\n

\u201cHow do we trust a God who is supposed be all good, all knowing and all powerful, but who allows such terrible things to happen \u2014 even to children?<\/p>\n

\u201cThat is a sacred and tender question \u2014 and one the Bible doesn\u2019t shy away from. Scripture is filled with the cries of those whose hearts have been shattered, who still wrestle to trust the same God they believe allowed the pain.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gracie\u2019s post included one section each from 2 Corinthians 4:16\u201318 and Psalm 23:4 as guiding principles while the family deals with this heartbreak.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome days, it\u2019s hard to understand how the world can hold both so much beauty and so much pain. How can the same God who created the stars and set the planets in motion allow such deep suffering\u201d Gracie wrote in her post.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe truth is, we live in a broken world\u2014one that groans for redemption (Romans 8). But Scripture promises that one day, Christ will make all things new\u2014a new heaven and a new earth (2 Peter 3:13).\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Chiefs heiress Gracie Hunt shared a religious message on her Instagram account Monday after her family lost a…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":48781,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[39],"tags":[35938,3570,1232,62,33227,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-48780","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nfl","8":"tag-clark-hunt","9":"tag-kansas-city-chiefs","10":"tag-nfl","11":"tag-sports","12":"tag-texas-flooding-2025","13":"tag-united-states","14":"tag-unitedstates","15":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/114817853201855245","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48780","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=48780"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48780\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/48781"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=48780"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=48780"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=48780"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
