My heart has an ache in it and is heavy...
Heavy for all the new families that have joined our MEND group in the last 2 months...
Heavy for all of those that are struggling because the holidays and Christmas are hard when piece of your heart is in Heaven...
Heavy for a precious 10 grader from our old church school who lost her mom in 3rd grade and whose dad is critically ill in the hospital and not expected to live... from what I have been told...
(Could you imagine being 15 and potentially with out parents??? My heart just absolutely breaks for her... she didn't have any siblings either... ) I see kids like this all the time in uganda... but not here... I am so very sad for her...
Would you please pray for Emily... that if God sees fit for her dad's life to be spared that it would be... for strength for her and comfort for her heart... for people to raise up and surround her fully in your love... That if he does pass that God has the perfect family for her to be a part of... She really could use the prayers of God's people.
I remember that first Christmas after Samuel died, and the truth be told... I kind of was hoping Christmas could just slip right passed us... That of course didn't happen...
It was hard as a different mom, dad and newborn baby played Mary, Joseph, and baby Jesus in the church program... ( We were assigned those roles before Samuel was born)
It was hard trying to shop for the other kids, listen to Christmas music, or cook a Christmas meal when really that all seemed so insignificant in the big picture of grief and sorrow.
If you have someone that you know that has had a loss recently or if you know anyone that is hurting this Christmas, please reach out lovingly and tenderly to them ... please approach the throne of grace lifting them up to the Father...
