We have had another another miscarriage.
It is our wish to never down play miscarriage.
Death is a difficult thing but it has it's purpose and the Lord allows these things for His greater glory.
If we remain closed and silent about death then how can we proclaim the richness of life in Jesus?
How can we maintain the sanctity of life ?
I have often thought that silence through miscarriage is something that gives abortion the power to continue to increase with every decade!
The life in the womb is as sacred as the miracle of birth.
Death comes through sin but the life in Jesus is eternal.
Death was overcome by HIM.
Let us all lead others to the cross and to their salvation through our daily walk with the Lord.
What He allows has it's special purposes.
Even if we can't fully understand.
We can trust!
One thing that helps is grieving in private and commiting your grief to the Lord.
Dwell on His word and place your trust fully in Him about this.
Some need to write to express their thoughts and heart. This is good to do!
Experiencing a miscarriage is often a lonely matter.
Most people do not know how to express themselves about death.
Many try real hard not to ever address it! Especially those that do not have full assurance of a heavenly home awaiting them in their own death.
Having you share your experience forces them to contemplate something profound.
It is a personal thing for each of us and we should have patience for them just as we hope for them to have patience for us.
Here is a poem I wrote this morning it is not a great poem but it was what was in my heart at the time.
Treasured
You were a treasure on earth
and now you are in heaven.
I weep but there is joy.
I know I will someday meet you my little jewel!
You are glistening in His light even now.
Waiting in His arms contentedly.
Because of His love and care
you know you are more than a trophy sitting there.
You were simply being knit for glory
and have already helped tell the story
of the one who came to earth to show us the Father's grace
and prepare that special heavenly place.
Some might say you were an accident
but I will defend that you are a little jewel.
If they could only know!
Just because you didn't grow...
Still you were a perfect part of God's plan.
You were used by the Master to reach man.
We were all so privileged to have you with us.
You stayed as long as you could.
Mommy, Daddy, brothers and sisters won't see you into toddlerhood.
But will wait until we stand in glory for the blessing of your presence once again.
We will think of you until then as...
Our little glistening jewel
Always in His care and covered by the holy light.
Our special baby entered glory August 2007.
We named him Philip Jordan Montalto |
