I was able to talk with an old friend tonight. She lost a baby girl almost a year ago, after she and her husband tried for years to get pregnant.
It was strangely comforting to talk with someone who’s been there (and the fact that it was recent helped too). It was healing. I’ve talked with women about it before – but that was before I actually experienced it myself. This was exactly what I needed. This woman just exudes God’s grace – she is amazing. I stopped her to ask how she was doing, and she ended up being a comfort to me.
I want to be that way to other people – I want the aroma of God’s grace to completely permeate the air around me.
Lord willing, someday, I will be.
