...And they buried a son.
It's ironic to me that I've been nominated for Best Encouraging Blog. Because I these past few days I've had nothing to give. nothing but questions.
Actually even before that. for weeks I've felt less than encouraging. I'm sleep deprived. exhausted. and emotionally torn over many different aspects of my personal life. And I'm questioning many many things.
Encouraged yet?
Yeah. Me neither.
This past week, we heard of a young couple who lost a son. My husband was actually holding our precious 2 month old when he heard, causing Jet to immediately weep.
because their son was also an infant (5 weeks).
I didn't know them. I had only seen them a few times. a few years ago. I didn't know the child. I wasn't even aware that he lived.
But I'm very aware that he died.
I have miscarried three times. painful experiences, to be sure. Yet I have no concept of what they are feeling in this moment. the nightmare that they're forced to wake up to every morning.
And I grieve deeply for them. strangers who now have my prayers.
Would you pray with me? Jesus is the only thing that can bring healing to this kind of sorrow.
