[Also shared on Lost Innocents]
Next week I will fly to Pennsylvania and stay at Antiochian Village
for a few days. I was invited to work with some other Orthodox
Christians to help draft a memorial service for miscarried and stillborn
babies and put together resources for priests and parishes to use to
assist grieving families. Other than having put together Lost Innocents, and
having lost four babies, I don’t know exactly what I’m bringing to the
table, but I am happy to contribute however I can. This group will be
meeting under the auspices of the Committee for Pastoral Practice of the Assembly of Canonical Orthodox Bishops of the US. Please pray that we will have a productive meeting and that we will all have safe travels.
I am so glad you have this opportunity! May it be blessed!!! Will pray for you. 🙂

Hearing this has made my day. How beautiful that God is taking your pain and making something redemptive from it for others. Beauty from ashes. I will be praying.
