First Funeral in South Africa

On a recent blog post, I asked you to pray for my friends who just lost their 10 day-old baby. I was fortunate enough to attend the funeral and support this family. Many of our Living Hope friends were there as well. It was a giant 'body of Christ' support group during this tragic, emotional time. We were holding each other up as we cried and mourned the loss of life.
The tiny, white baby casket was heart-breaking. The mom (a friend of mine and one of the first people I ever met in SA) was wailing tears- the kind that come from your gut and are painful to hear- as if the tears are crying out to the Lord from the soul.
Please continue to keep them in prayer. They need the strength and comfort of our Lord.
