Grateful for Hope

A very young mother delivered a stillborn today. The baby was 4-6 weeks premature. Here's her baby girl all wrapped up and ready to go with her, back to her village for burial. 





The mama was so composed and stoic following her delivery - as if she new beforehand that her baby had died. But later, I found her in the back hallway silently wiping huge tears off her face with her skirt. In moments like those, I desperately wish I could remove their pain but I'm reminded anew that there is One who can! 

Looking forward with hope to the day when there will be no more pain or death or tears.
