The Trial Continues

Yesterday morning at 3 am a baby that was at the hospital died.  Macdonald had been admitted for malaria last week and didn’t seem to be getting better.  The father is from a village that is 2 ½ hours away and with all that has happened we couldn’t be a part of the funeral.  We paid for the expenses and gave our apologies for not being able to go. 

We are very tired and weary but know that God will give us strength.  We still have another baby, Gift, in the hospital and we don’t really know what is wrong.  The hospital doesn’t do much but I don’t want to bring him home unless I feel that he is stronger.  I could write pages on the lack of care the babies get at the hospital but I’ll save it for another day.      

Please pray for Gift and the other babies at the nursery that they stay well.  Lisa

 

O LORD, thou art my God; I will exalt thee, I will praise thy name; for thou hast done wonderful things; thy counsels of old are faithfulness and truth…For thou hast been a strength to the poor, a strength to the needy in his distress, a refuge from the storm, a shadow from the heat, when the blast of the terrible ones is as a storm against the wall.  Isaiah 25:1&4

 

Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you: But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ’s sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy. If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye; for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified. 1 Peter 4:12-14
