I was brought to tears this morning....by a blog. I don't know how many of you are following the McKMama story. The youngest child in the family is sick. Hospitalized. As I read the story, the memories came back. The situations are COMPLETELY different. Mine was a husband. Her's is a child. Andrew was in a coma. Stellan is awake and interactive. Neither situation is better or worse. They are both just sad. My cardiac nursing knowledge came back as well. Her child is fighting a significant heart arrhythmia that is becoming more complicated as I type this. I cried for her. I left her a comment. What do you say to someone you don't know, dealing with something you haven't been through. Maybe if she knew of my experience she would hear/read my words differently. That's not the case and a blog comment is not the place to go into detail. I just wrote "God is good. ALL the time. Praying added strength for you." I wish I could reach through the computer and save her..and her baby. I wish I could suffer enough that noone else would need to....but that's what Jesus did isn't it. Yes, we still suffer, but our sufferings (described biblically as "light and momentary" in 2 Corinthians 4) are nothing compared to His. Our sufferings are nothing compared to the glory that will be revealed to us (Romans 8:18).
And so I pray. I pray that her situation will turn out different than mine. And I pray that no matter what the outcome, she will remember that God is good, all the time.
