Small . . . kittens . . . babies.
So many babies have been born to people I know recently. Most of those
births have brought great joy, but some have brought sorrow and anxiety
even loss.
Babies come into our world small, helpless,
defenseless and we love them, we long to care for them to see them grow
to maturity to live a full and beautiful life. When one is taken from
us, the loss seems impossible to bear, the questions endless, and the
pain unendurable. People I care about are going through this right now
and there are no words to comfort them, nothing to say to answer the
heart-wrenching "why" that nags at our souls. Yet still God is good.
Still God loves. So I ask him to heal this broken-hearted family and the
people who love them.
