As I reflect on this past week with family, I think about the 'should've beens.' :
- As we celebrated our baby girl, there should've been excitement for the life to come.
- As family gathered, there should've been another boy playing with our baby boy.
- I should've been prepping; buying baby clothes, getting the crib ready and washing old clothes.
- We should've been laughing at my daughter's party instead of remembering where we were five years ago.
Even in the midst of the 'should've beens...'
Jesus is enough.
Though we know it. It's often hard to feel it.
We pray for truth to give us hope.
To saturate our every thought.
And we remember.
The boy Major would have been.
The baby we long, ache and moan to meet.
We grasp and grapple to the hope of seeing them again.
Inspite of the 'should've beens.'
******
Great Reward.

beautifully written, friend.
Lord, I thank you for Kathy and her family. I love the grace and sincerity she pours out on her blog, in person, etc. I thank you for being there for them as they do go through this grief of losing their nephew Major and their baby too too soon. Lord, I praise you that these babes are living it up with You and that they will be reunited with their families soon.
