6-3

Today was another hard day.  We took a side trip to the pediatric ward at the hospital.  It is probably a good thing that we could not take pictures.  The hardest one to see was born November 29, 2007 and looked to be maybe 4 pounds.  Without describing details, he is clearly not well.  It is an image I will not soon forget.

What made it so hard was not simply to see such a little one struggle, or to see the conditions in which he lives, or even to wonder how much better he might be doing if he were to receive care in the US.  The hardest part for us is to consider that, but for the grace of God, that could have been Colin.  Some times God’s sovereignty seems unfair.
