I also grew up in a Mennonite church in Garrett County Md. my wife Greta and I escorted our daughter Krista to heavens gates over 26 years ago. She was diagnosed with a brain tumor when she was 3 and went on to meet her friend Jesus when she was 11- God was so much a part of our Krista “God package” that He asked us to carry! Blessings and I appreciate your blogs!

Thank you, Gina. And thank you for all the times when you’ve reminded me of that very thing by your faith and hope in times of suffering.

I’ll take your thought-hug, Sarah, with appreciation. I am sorry for your own loss. That is neat that you also named your little one Hope.

Yes Bethany, “a strange feeling to grieve a life that barely was” describes it well. Hugs.

Amen. Life is such a miracle and a gift. And suffering brings strength… thank you for that. That makes sense and brings some clarity to some of my questions about the reasons for suffering. Thank you for your encouraging words.

It is hard to hold onto hope, especially in our world today, especially when bad things happen, like the death of a tiny baby. But you remind us that God is worth trusting even when we don’t understand Him.
Hugs,
Gina

I’m at the other end of child-bearing from you, with eight living children, one who died as a teenager, and now ten we never got to meet waiting for us–six in three pregnancies in the last year and a half. Those tiny ones who departed before we were even very aware of their presence still make a huge impact in our lives.
