Songs of Joy

“Those who sow in tears will reap with songs of joy.” – Psalm 126:5

Today is Infant Loss Awareness Day. A day where so many are reminded of the moment that their life was forever changed. While I know what it’s like to feel that pain in your soul so deep that it actually feels like your heart is breaking, when I think back to those dark moments, I am reminded of the earthly angels God placed by my side to walk with me through. My husband, my mom & dad, my sister, brother, my best friends.

While we may not be able to take away another persons pain, we can love them through it. That was the best “help” I received. So for today, if you are walking this journey with someone else- just be there- listen, hug, encourage them. There is hope, and if you allow Him, He can and will use you to cover someone else in HIS love and help them find joy again.

I am forever grateful to those who smiled at me, sat with me, cried with me, laughed with me, called to check up on me…and still do. God continues to use them in a very real and tangible way to feel His love.

” Now is your time of grief, but I will see you again and you will rejoice, and no one will take away your joy.” John 16:22
