I've been following my friend Amanda's blog pretty closely for a few weeks now. She's been posting updates about a baby girl named Cora, who passed away this Sunday. Cora's story is heartbreaking. I tear up every time I think about her parents and what they've already been through at such a young age ~ or at any age, for that matter. It's obvious that they've been a shining example of God's love to those around them. So many people have been praying for Cora.
No matter where we're at in life, it's so important (and really difficult, at times like this) to remember that God doesn't make mistakes, that this is His plan.
amanda, what a small world. Chris posted about this little girl as well. Check out his blog and then also the other website on their as well. Some of his friends wrote a song for her.
ReplyDeleteGreat post. It definitely put some things into perspective for me. :)
Wow...this same baby has been on our church prayer list as well.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this...perspective is very important to have.
Amanda, how crazy it is that SO many people are connecting to this story...I read these comments from others who already knew her story. Thank you for caring and praying and for sharing this story with others. As the pastor said yesterday at her service...the Lord WILL reveal his glory through this. Cora made an impact on more people's lives in her 11 months, than most of us will in our lifetime. She fulfilled her parents plan for her to make a difference in this world...it just happened much sooner than they imagined. Again, thanks for sharing this. Have you seen the headbands and pins you can buy for her playground???
