I am not looking forward to today. Sitting with a young couple honoring the short life of their teeny tiny baby son born sleeping early and unexpectedly makes my heart and strength deplete. I know that God loves and is gracious beyond what I can recognize in the midst of life's deepest storms. This morning I needed a psalm and a song to meditate and sing inside as my heart hurts for these friends. He heals broken hearts. He strengthens the weak. I know it. I believe it. I long to feel You near today, Father.
The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. ~Psalm 34:18
"But as for me, it is good to be near God. I have made the Sovereign Lord my refuge: I will tell of all your deeds." ~ Psalm 73:28
Crystal, does this little one have a name? If so, let me know. We will be working at the Baby Steps 5K again this year, and Abby asked for names and dates for a memorial that they will add to each year. I have already sent her Hannah's.
