Praise
Tonight, I was fortunate enough to put my church-skeptisism aside and go to Crossroads with Tony. The reason I say "Fortunate" is because I heard a story that changed my life. The service started out talking about God sending a Baby down for our salvation..The baby ends up dying..and changes (Saves) the whole world..You know what I'm talking about, right? Hopefully you do.
The pastor went on and started to talk about a Woman who was pregnant. When she was about 9 months into her pregnancy, the doctors announced to her that her baby would be stillborn. Obviously the mother is devastated (who wouldn't be?). The mother ends up getting together many people and prays for the Baby. Two months later, the Baby was born..however, it still had many problems with it that wouldn't allow it to live for more than a few hours.
The mother spent and charished the time that she had with her baby. About 3 hours later, the baby passed away.
Instead of being upset, the mother praised God for giving her time with the baby. This baby actually changed the lives of many, many, many people..
I just think it's beautiful how someone can look at a tragedy and be soo strong, and turn it into a testimony that has brought others closer with God.
I'm not good at summarizing things like this at all...I just hope that anyone that reads this will understand to either be thankful for what they have, or believe in Gods will, even though sometimes we may ponder it.
If I find a link with the mothers letter, or an overall more specific version of what I typed I'll be sure to post it.
Praise Him.
