God gives & takes away.
We know this to be evident in the book of Job.
He remained steadfast in hope & prayer through loosing it all.
Our last three weeks of Lent have been a trying time. We can no longer claim to be unscathed by this type of incredulous loss until now. At the same time we are overjoyed to partake in this fiat we didn't choose but willfully accept.
Sadly at the expense of our own miscarriage.
With all the despair that yields graces, & beauty it brings.
Through the pains of it all, we witnessed many opportunities of mercy. From loved ones coming forth to prepare meals. Easter baskets for our children. A selfless gift of donor blood. Strangers path's we crossed that did not believe in God that were able to witness our faith in action that sowed little seedlings in their heart that will hopefully grow through the conversations we were blessed to have had in the right moments, at the right times.
This...
This! Made it all worth while to suffer again and again.
Redemptive suffering is a beautiful thing. A missed opportunity for many to unite their cross with His. This week we offer up all our works, joys and sufferings for those who've lost a child. From prayer to production; packaging to shipment, all for you! May our labor this week be a prayer to console your hearts and heal your minds in solidarity of knowing we have been there and understand your plight.
Remember that He never said we have to understand. We only need to comply.
