Spilled Light in Dark Places

Why does life have to be so hard? We may never know the answer to the question, but we do know that when people hurt—really hurt—the world pays attention. Maybe it’s part of being human. We fear that hard stuff will come to us next. We watch to see how others cope, so we can prepare.
Recently a couple who are friends of mine had their 2-year-old adopted son returned to his birth father. (Long, painful story…) You better believe that EVERYONE they knew was checking this couples’ Facebook status’ 10 times a day, wanting to know how they were handling it. They couldn’t have children of their own, and God gave them a beautiful son. The worst of the worst happened. The child they loved with all of their hearts was taken away.
My own heart broke, and I wondered, How are they going to deal with this?
To read the answer to that question, click here to find the rest of this post.
