Not How It's Supposed to Be

Please be praying for my longtime friend Pam, her husband Chris and all their family. Last night they said goodbye to their sweet baby Bennett who flew into the arms of Jesus at 6 months old. He was awaiting a heart transplant and held on as long as he could.

I have no words.

But I do hold tightly to the reminder Isaiah gives about the new Heaven and the new Earth that's coming:
"Never again will there be in it an infant who lives but a few days . . ."
Isaiah 65:20a

This is not how it's supposed to be. And it's not how it will always be. But right now it's unfathomable.

Lord, come quickly.

    Aww...Leilanni, I'm so sorry about Pam and her family. And you're right, there aren't words but just you being the caring friend that you are speaks volumes. The prayers of those who read this will hopefully cushion their pain right now.
    God is good - we must remember that through the bad.
    xoxo
