This morning I got a sad call from our youngest daughter, Hollie. She lost the baby yesterday. It is one of those hard places. It is one of those times when we need quiet and peace and time to absorb and process and heal. Jim took the day off and took the children to school and will be taking Hollie to the doctor first thing this morning. It is a deep disappointment and hurtful time.
I had just returned from a visit with her this past week and have been concerned that she was not feeling very well and inspight of her typical making the best of things and not complaining, it was still obvious that she just was not up to par or like she had been with the other two pregnancies. Yet..........I had no idea that she was about to miscarry. I certainly wish I had stayed just a couple more days. But ya know, God is in charge. He loves her and her family even more than I do. I have been trusting Him with my girls and their families for many years and He has always been there for me and for them. He will take her through this hard time. We, as family, will all be ready and reaching out to her with love as she needs us. But most of all I can say with confidence - the Lord will bring peace and healing to her heart.

Mar, I am so sorry that your daughter lost her baby. I will be praying for her. The only thing I know to say is that I believe God is in control in all parts of our lives.
There's a button on the right sidebar of my blog about a baby that is 10 months old. Click on it and read what has happened to this baby if you can. It is so sad.
Thanks so much for your comments on my blogs. They are so encouraging and inspiring.

Mar,
Hollie and the entire family will be in our prayers.

I always liked these words to an old song: "Either He will shield you from suffering, or He will give you unfailing strength to bear it.....be at peace."
We will surely keep Hollie and the rest of the family in our prayers.
Love, Dorothy
