Some Anniversaries you Remember and do no Celebrate
Today marks a painful memory in the life of my wife and myself. Between the birth of Daniel and Nathan we lost a child. I am not trying to compare my loss with anyone or the many who have suffered far more and far greater than me. But for a young couple who wanted to have children it was devastating to us both. We were surrounded by a loving and supportive family, but in my young life I can remember feeling so alone, so heartbroken, so broken for my precious wife.
So, each year on this day we remember. This morning I did not mention it to Stephanie, but I know it was on her mind.
I cannot help but think of how God has blessed us and carried us since that day. Stephanie was then and is now a wonderful mom. She is also a wonderful Grandmama. In this season in life as I watch her with our grandchildren, I am reminded of special love and devotion for our family.
This morning I paused to remember. I paused to pray. I paused to, yes worship. I paused to give thanks for my precious Savior who has walked with me throughout life and for my precious wife who demonstrates for me daily what Jesus’s love really looks like. I love you Stephanie with all my heart and I am praying for you today.
