Struggling Well With Life

Time may not heal, but God does.  January and February have held a somber sub plot over the last decade or so for me.  I just got an email today from a friend who is no longer living in the area, but who lost their first child 9 years ago - Zach was only 14 months old.  They have had three children since, and yet still miss him, and feel that pain that his loss creates as they wonder what their lives would look like. what he would be like if he had lived.  Today, is also a big day in the life of another Church at Charlotte family, as it marks 11 years since their beautiful 19 year old daughter passed away after a routine surgery.  I do not know the pain of losing a child, and I hope I never do - but having kids of my own, I know firsthand, with every year having them in my life they capture more and more of my heart. I cannot fathom what that pain must be like to live with.  I am asking the Counselor, the Holy Spirit to speak peace, continued healing, comfort, and His unmistakeable presence into the lives of my dear friends.  If you read this today - would you pray for them too?
