Last week my friend was planning for the arrival of her second child in February.
Yesterday she planned his funeral.
Three days ago she sat in the NICU begging God for his life.
Today she sat in a funeral home begging God for His comfort.
We have no idea the heartbreak that awaits us tomorrow.
But we can know the comfort that He brings us today.
“Lord, remind me how brief my time on earth will be. Remind me that my days are numbered, and that my life is fleeing away. My life is no longer than the width of my hand. An entire lifetime is just a moment to you; human existence is but a breath.” Psalms 39:4-5
See you soon little Jeremy.

Gina,
I am so sorry. We lost a kido from our kids ministry this year. It is, was, and will be one of the most difficult things I have ever faced.It has been very hard for the family and on a different level for me as well. As someone who is suppose to know the answers I feel just as much at a loss for what to say at times. You and the family are in our thoughts and prayers.
One book that helped me personally was “second guessing god.” very good.
