I only have a few minutes before I have to go but I wanted to make a quick post. There was a comment from Shy One regarding my last Mama Diaries post. It reads:
I feel very badly for your loss, but another part of me sees it quite differently. Perhaps these babies that were never destined to walk the earth are in fact destined to become intercessors for their families from heaven. We won't know this until we reach heaven ourselves and all is revealed, but in God's economy of grace, there may be more than meets the eye. I shall remember you and your family in my prayers, and wish you His peace in your heart.
I think Shy One hit the nail on the head. When I wrote that last post I was blowing off steam because I was upset. But as as the smoke settled and I got it off my chest one thing still remained the same - my heart still believes in God's goodness and that all things happen for a reason. We can only see one small moment in time but God sees the grand scheme of things. He knows precisely why things happen the way they do. When our trust and love is placed in God, we will find that all our sufferings can be transformed into blessings. There will still be moments when we are down but God�s peace is ready to comfort us and give us strength.
I must also say that Lent is the perfect time to truly ponder the mystery of the passion and our union with Christ on the cross. It is such a comfort to know that there is no suffering or pain we go through that Christ has not already endured for us. We are never alone. Christ dries our tears and lifts us up; his love and mercy washes over us and renews our hearts so we can carry on and live out our vocation to the fullest.
With that thought, I�ve got to go! Have a blessed weekend.
