Isaac

I've been following a story for a few days now about a baby that was given a grim prognosis at only 12wks while he was still in his mother's womb. He was born today and was on this earth for 16 precious minutes before going to be with the LORD. I am so heartbroken for his mommy right now. I can't imagine the pain she must be in as well as her husband. However, I was reminded that it is somewhat selfish to wish that precious baby were still here. Isaac was given the gift of Heaven today. Isaac with our LORD and he is a healthy and happy person who is looking down on his family and the world. Isaac is in the arms of Jesus, and that is the best place to be!

It doesn't seem fair sometimes that precious people like Isaac's mother have to suffer so, but the LORD has his reasons. Things like this make me realize how blessed I am to have such healthy children. Today has been another rough day with my 4 month old, Faith. She has fussed constantly all day today and I can't do much to get her to stop. I think that she is teething or maybe has an ear infection. The point is that while I'm frustrated with her and currently letting her cry so I can get a break, I realize that I am lucky and that Isaac's mommy would most likely trade places with me in a heartbeat. I shouldn't complain or get so frustrated with my children, but all mommies do so I'm not alone. I just sometimes question the fairness in what has happened to Isaac's family. Why must the good suffer so? My heart is breaking for this family right now and there are hundreds if not thousands who are feeling the same right now. Isaac has touched thousands of lives and he will never be forgotten.
