I just read about a young couple at our seminary - the husband is a student and the wife works there - who lost their infant child. He was less than 1 year old. I cannot imagine the grief.
I don't even know these people, though I have talked to Tress on several occasions. But it just tears my heart out. Why do babies have to die? Why do parents have to go through things like this? It makes no sense. None at all.
And I think of all the things I spend so much time doing, or worrying about, or thinking about...arguing about, and I just can't imagine any of it mattering at a time like this.
God, it's not that I don't trust you... I just don't understand. Please... comfort Ray & Tress. Somehow speak peace into their souls. Cover the entire community with your love and grace... however that is possible.
I don't much feel like doing anything at the moment.
