On Thursday, I found out that my friends Karl and Laura Harroff lost their baby. They were expecting in July and I believe this was her third failed pregnancy. When I found out about it, I felt sad for them but for whatever reason it didn't sink in too much until today. Today, I found out that there is going to be a funeral for their baby. That's when this cloud of sadness found it's way into my heart. As I sit here and blog about it, a tear drop is rolling down my cheek.
Just to imagine the pain, that Laura must be going through is beyond my comprehension. And then to think of Karl and what is role is right now. He has to be both the supported and encourager for his beautiful wife - and to know that he too is hurting.
There are so many questions that must be going through their minds and the tough part is not knowing the answers to them all. God is in control and I just pray that they are leaning on Him for all their needs.
Father God, You above all are holy and soverign. You created this world and You created us. You know our pains and hurts and only You can comfort those in need. I pray for my borther and sister Karl and Laura - that You would be with them at this time in their lives and show yourself in a mighty way to them. That Your peace that surpasses all understanding would envelope them and bring upon a calmness through this storm in their lives. Father, I thank You for they know You and it's their knowledge of you that brings them to the feet of Your alter. I love you and am thankful that you are in our live.
I pray all of this in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
