There are times in life when tragedy and sadness pile on and all you can do is cling to the Lord. Yesterday (Sunday) after our morning services, I conducted the funeral for a baby who died at childbirth. The mother and the family are friends and very special folks. The little girl was completely healthy except that the cord was wrapped around her neck. This is the kind of event which can affect folks for the rest of their lives.
Please pray for the young mother as she grieves and mourns her loss. I have prayed often for the whole family that the Comforter, the Holy Spirit, would be ever present in their lives. I am reminded of the words of the Apostle Paul to the Corinthians:
"Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we may comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God." (2 Cor.1:3)
