My heart is compelling me to write this piece…even though it’s not about me.
She is having a miscarriage as I’m writing this and it breaks my heart to even think about it. I’m writing about her situation because I don’t want to forget how amazing she is especially with her current situation. This is the second miscarriage in less than a year.
I ask myself…”How does she do it?” One would think when you look at her, she has it all worked out when it coms to life’s issues. I’ve got news…SHE DOES NOT. She doesn’t have to have it all worked out because, GOD is doing that for her. I saw her status, and I quote “I’ve been here before. One day I will understand.” I spoke to her yesterday and she apologised to me for sounding so vague. I said that she doesn’t need to apologise to me, I should for being so weak. She has no tears to cry, but those that are standing by her side including me cry their hearts out.
There’s so much I want to say to her, but so does the other friends. I can say I am sad about her loss but so are the others. What do you say to a person who is grieving the loss of a second unborn child? I was chatting to another friend about the loss and she said thank you to me for being there while she couldn’t in the natural but definitely in prayer. I believe those mourning the loss are true friends. The word of God says, “Blessed are those who mourn, they shall be comforted.” Matthew 5:4
I am so encouraged by this woman…she is doing what David says in 1Samuel 6:30 “…because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters: but David encouraged himself in the LORD his God.” A mother who lost two children teaches me through her trial.
I want to thank those who’s by my friend’s side to keep on doing what Jesus says in John 16:13-14…”Greater love has no one than this, that one lay down his life for his friends. You are My friends if you do what I command you.” Laying down your life is not just hanging on a cross. Jesus knew what He was saying. When we leave everything and do His will for the least we are laying down our lives.
To my friend:
We grieve with you but we have yet to come to the realization you have come to with your first loss and that is that you will see your babies again one day. Thank you for being a pillar of strength on your time of need.
I want to bless you with: 2Cor 5:8 and a poem from my heart
“Yes, we are fully confident, and we would rather be away from these earthly bodies, for then we will be at home with the Lord.”
"The world may never notice if a rosebud doesn't bloom
or even pause to wonder if the petals fall too soon
but every life that ever forms or ever comes to be
touches the world in some small way for all eternity
the little one we longed for was swiftly here and gone
but the love that was then planted is a light that still shines on
and though our arms are empty our hearts know what to do
every beating of our heart says We will remember you."
"And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away."
