How fragile life is...

A friend of mine miscarried at 20 weeks yesterday. She had to be induced to deliver a precious baby boy, who was already in heaven. I cannot even imagine the pain, the heartache, and the absolute horror of such an experience. They have both handled this with such grace and courage and I am in awe of God's presence, and the impact that this sweet little boy has had on so many close to this family. The verse that she posted on her facebook was

Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The

 Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. 

Phil 4:4-7

How can anyone have such a joy in Jesus in such a time of sadness... What an example to us on how to go through trials... Rejoice in the Lord always... Life is so fragile, and every life is worth celebrating... Pray for this family as they work through the tragedy of losing a child.
