For a Dear Blogging Friend

Who has just lost her precious baby to a miscarriage.

And for everyone else who has experienced this loss.

Here is a poem I came across when going through my own grieving process 3 years ago:


Do you know yet,
Mother mine,
Why I came and why I left?

I came to fill you with joy,
I left to fill you with emptiness
Which only our Jesus can fill.

Where you are,
Mother mine,
Grief opens you to seek Him.

Where I am,
There is only joy.
We do not have to seek Him.

And He has prepared a place for you,
Mother mine.
Seek Him.
And do not be afraid.

Thank you for your prayers and your friendship, dear 'Meg. The tears swell in my eyes to read this poem--so true, yet so difficult when the pain is still so fresh in my heart.

God is so good, yet His ways can be mysterious. I trust in His love and will wait (must wait!) to see the purpose of His plan.

With love & blessings,

Margaret

Tears still come to my eyes when I read this...

But it is so true, and it helped me through many a dark hour. I wasn't sure if it was too soon to share it with you, and so I didn't direct you to it...

May peace and comfort be yours!
