All things came to be through Him...

"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things came to be through him, and without him nothing came to be. What came to be through him was life, and this life was the light of the human race; the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it." John 1: 1-4

This was one of the passages we read this weekend as we buried Gianna Clare. We have the great blessing of Lucas's family living on a ranch in South Texas. We buried both Ariana and Gianna there, and what a blessing to know the land will (God-willing) be in the family forever. Praise be to God that Lucas's parents hvae been so generous in letting us use a portion for our girls. Not everyone is so fortunate, so I'm looking for suggestions of what others have done, and I plan to see what can be done locally to have a proper place where those who miscarry can bury their babies....God give me the time to do this!

Okay, back to the passage...I don't have a whole lot to say about it; it speaks for itself very well. As Lucas read it aloud after we placed the little box holding our precious Gianna Clare in the ground, I sensed the Lord's healing and renewal...I realized that Christ's light will shine into our souls (provided we open ourselves to Him) through the darkness of miscarriage. Thought the darkness may seem intense, the darkness will not overcome us. It will not be too much for us, for without God, Ariana and Gianna would have never come to be; so how can I doubt that He will give us what we need to get through?
