The Sacredness of Life...

it is sobering and yet some how refocusing to realize the fragility and shortness of life...

i just got off the phone with my best friend from high school, and he told me that just a couple of days ago that his wife had given birth to their twin boys at 19 weeks of pregnancy, a baby doesn't really have a realistic chance of living until 23 weeks, and so the lived just a few short moments and then went to be with their Heavenly Father...

it is so hard to no what to say in a situation like that...to know how to love, support, and encourage someone who has just lost something like that...something that they are so excited about and have been hoping for for so long...

i am reminded about just how short life can be....i am reminded about what really matters in life, love...i am reminded about how God has a plan that is far bigger than our own and that it is something that we can't even fathom or imagine at times...

i am amazed and encouraged by dave's attitude and spiritual maturity in a time of tragedy like this. to hear him talking about God having a plan and God seeing the bigger picture and that the boys are in Heaven with God and that they will continue to try to have children and simply trust God through the process no matter what that might look like...

i pray for him and his wife as they move through this time of grieving and pain and heartache...
