Loss

I came home from a party tonight to some very sad news.  Our friends have lost their baby.  Shellain was due tomorrow and she went in for a checkup today.  The midwife coulndn't find the heartbeat during the exam, and they confirmed the baby's death with an ultrasound.  This was Brian and Shellain's fourth child.  They have two beautiful daughters and a little son.  They will find out tomorrow what this precious baby was.  She will deliver some time tomorrow.  The baby is breech, but they are still going to deliver ******lly. 

What my dh and I realized tonight, was how we have taken our baby for granted.  With our last son, it seems that we were praying all the time.  But, we have fallen away from our Lord and we've hardly called upon Him for our child.  We are obviously hearbroken for our friends.  And hearbroken for our lack of faith.

my condolences...

...are really all that I can give. I pray that the delivery will go as well as can be expected tomorrow and that the parents and siblings will feel God's presence and know His love for them.

I can't imagine their grief but we have a God who can and I will pray for them.
