From the Desk of Steve Shultz:
I can't imagine the pain of losing a young child who has been born into this world.
But, since my wife and I lost a child to miscarriage many years ago, I can imagine what that pain is like. It's HORRIBLE!
Whether you or a mother you know has lost one or more babies to miscarriage, abortion or any other tragedy, God wants to comfort you now.
Spoiler alert – your baby is now with the Lord! So begin to take in the comfort from that statement and be encouraged by this article.
