A T18 mom who's daughter had 55 wonderful days on this earth found these verses comforting. I wanted to remember them as they are a needed reminder of God's kindness and goodness to us:
My brothers and sisters, you will face all kinds of trouble. When you do, think of it as pure joy. Your faith will be put to the test. You know that when that happens it will produce in you the strength to continue. The strength to keep going must be allowed to finish its work. Then you will be all you should be. You will have everything you need. (James 1:2-4)
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction so that we will be able to comfort those who are in any affliction with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. (2 Corinthians 1:3,4)
The Lord is close to those whose hearts are breaking; he rescues those who are humbly sorry for their sins. The good man does not escape all troubles-he has them too. But the Lord helps him in each and every one. (Psalms 34:18,19)
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. (Psalm 139:14) Being grown in faith because of my daughters diagnosis of Trisomy 18, a rare genetic syndrome. This is my reality of loving Alyssa and the impact she makes in our family. I praise God for showing us His grace and revealing our human frailty throughout this journey.
