True Reality

Some long-distance friends of ours have been through an extremely difficult year. Last September, they lost their 6-month-old baby girl to an aggressive brain tumor. I've been mystified as I have read her blogs and posts and emails about what they have endured and how Jesus has brought them through.

Well, this week they cried and rejoiced as they brought their new baby girl into the world! Not a replacement. . . rather, a choice to love again, to trust God, even still.

I am SO moved by their stories - I wanted to share it with others. This week I have been surrounded by discouragement, disunity in the Body, petty jealousies . . . it has weighted my heart to the ground. But then I read my friend's blog - and I was reminded, again, what TRUE reality is, the hope of this life and eternity - and where our focus should really be.

I hope it challenges you toward that as well.
