Such a compassionate spirit

The other day Tammy sent me a link to someones blog that needed prayer. I went to it, read the story and cried....a lot. You hear a lot of terrible things going on in people's lives and you are very sad for them, but there is something about when you can really put yourself in their shoes. This is a girl that is about to have her first baby and there is a medical problem and they have received news that the baby is not expected to live. I have been reading her blog daily since I got her link and today EB came up while I was reading it...and crying and wanted to know what I was reading about, so I told her. Before long she had huge tears that had swelled up in her eyes, then it was a full blown cry. She too, could imagine if she were going through this because she has a baby sister. She told me she was so sad for the girl that she may not be able to bring home her baby boy and experience the joy that we have experienced with LG. I was so amazed by her compassionate spirit. She had many questions, why is this happening and how does she know he is going to die, etc... it was a wonderful moment for us to talk about how we don't understand sometimes why things happen the way they happen. God has a perfect plan through it all. The girl I am talking about her name is Stacy and her baby's name is Issac. He is to be born tomorrow. Please pray for this family. Her blog site is http://sgirl79.blogspot.com/ He will carry me. Please pray for them. I cannot even imagine the pain she must be feeling now.

You can easily tell by Elyie Brook's eyes - she is a compassionate girl. Not a surprise at all! But I know, as Mom - it is such a thrill to see our kids' hearts revealed from time to time. What a gift to see how she is so tender towards the pain of others - without being coached accordingly!

Blessings!

It is such a wonderful characteristic to see in your child. That means some good parenting has occured!! Their story breaks my heart. Especially now that Isaac has gone home to be with the Lord. Oh,let's hold our babies close and let them know they are loved.
