Hope Amongst The Pain
I thought I’d share two very moving stories that unfolded today.
The first story is about a little girl named Zoe, who recently had heart surgery and went into surgery to receive an artificial heart at 2 p.m. this afternoon. As of 11 this evening, we have not heard whether it was successful or not. The reason I am sharing this story, is that her mom, Eva, puts what many of us heart mama’s feel, into a very lovely blog. Please take a moment and read this. Choose Life
The second story is one that took the breath of many of us away. The Hammond family got home last night with their little 22 month old boy who had a congenital heart defect. He passed away this morning. I know that he is healed but his family is hurting. I know that he can see how much they loved him and how hard they fought for him, but that does nothing to ease their pain this evening. Here is their blog – A MeiMei for You You
Please join me in covering these families with prayers. They are both families of great faith. In Zoe’s case, they are moving forward and choosing life. In the Hammond’s case they are moving forward with the hope of eternity. There is joy in that hope. There is peace in that hope but the pain is fresh right now.
And so, Lord, where do I put my hope? My only hope is in you.” (Psalm 39:7)
