Sabrina and Abigail

This morning, two of my friends had their first day back after being on family leave.  But their circumstances could not be more different.

He s a first-time dad.
She is a first-time mom.

In the weeks preceding, night after night,
we prayed for him and his wife, for a safe delivery.


In the months preceding, night after night, 

we prayed for her and her husband, for a miracle.

His wife gave birth to a beautiful little girl.
So did she.

His daughter is several weeks old now.
Her daughter will forever be no more than a couple hours old.

His baby cries for her parents, day in and day out.
She and her husband cry for their baby.

We hope his Sabrina comes to know Jesus one day.
Abigail is already with her Savior now.

He gives
Tragedy and joy
At the same time


The Lord gives
The Lord takes away

We trust in Your goodness, Lord
even when we cannot understand.

Blessed be the name of the Lord.
