Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day

Even though today is a special day to remember babies lost to miscarriage, stillbirth, or in infancy, I can attest to the fact that not a day goes by that I don't remember my sweet Jeffrey. But I'm so glad that on a day like this, I can share my grief with so many throughout the world that have suffered such a great loss. I came across this poem a few days ago, and it really spoke to me and reminded me of the perspective I need to keep in light of eternity.

Chance has not brought this ill to me;
It's God's own hand, so let it be,
For He sees what I cannot see.
There is purpose for each pain,
And He one day will make it plain
That earthly loss is heavenly gain.
Like as a piece of tapestry
Viewed from the back appears to be
Only threads tangled hopelessly;
But in the front a picture fair
Rewards the worker for his care,
Proving his skill and patience rare.
You are the Workman, I the frame.
Lord, for the glory of Your Name;
Perfect Your image on the same.
