I just read this, and it immediately...Dear Cassie,<br /><br />I just read this, and it immediately reminded me of your compassion for me on Palm Sunday as I left with tear-stained cheeks once again. I know the pain and embarrassment of "losing it" in church. It has been difficult for me to even stay in the pew recently, afraid that I will start sobbing uncontrollably. I continue to pray that God would grant you His comfort and peace that passes all human understanding. In the crosses we bear, He is drawing us to THE cross where Jesus carried all of our pain and our sorrow in His body. He has won the victory over sin, death and Satan. By His stripes we are healed. Cling to that cross, trusting that God's strength is made perfect in our weakness.<br /><br />I love you, dear sister in Christ!Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17557972668573107435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8240639443730906600.post-80608782467827852872012-04-02T19:47:01.338-07:002012-04-02T19:47:01.338-07:00Thanks Susan. :)
Also Laura thank you so much. I ...Thanks Susan. :)<br />Also Laura thank you so much. I am so glad we have Mt. Zion through all of this. It has definitely helped. And true that if you are going to cry anywhere then the church is a great place to be on your knees weeping.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12770434324643327781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8240639443730906600.post-18865647136361880632012-04-02T17:23:59.903-07:002012-04-02T17:23:59.903-07:00Oh, Cassie. Your post touched me. If there is any ...Oh, Cassie. Your post touched me. If there is any place in the world where it is okay to cry, okay to weep, okay to hug, okay to be mad, it is at church. I never endured what you and Paul are going through...but I get it. I lost Benjamin in a different way and I still mourn that which I do not have. It isn't the same...but I still cry, and my body shakes and sometimes I am still a little mad about the whole thing. These are the events in life that push us to the cross...where we look for hope, peace, and life ever lasting. We do not know what the future will bring...but we do know that Christ has given us to one another to bear each others burdens. God brought you to Mt. Zion to receive His gifts in Word and Sacrament...and you are part of the family now...and as such we are here for you.Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15350172380237918289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8240639443730906600.post-47747817962575448822012-04-01T21:20:27.084-07:002012-04-01T21:20:27.084-07:00Pretending like the grief isn't there is never...Pretending like the grief isn't there is never the solution to grief. <br /><br />So, yeah, I think the people who have those babies will understand that you miss your own babies, and that you don't begrudge them their blessings, but just that their children remind you of your empty arms. And we all just keep living together in love and forgiveness and patience.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16307213773466556564noreply@blogger.com
