Some posts to make you think and cry

I have read a few posts over the past week which have made me think and cry and I thought I would share them.

• This story about baby Ani in Africa is very heartbreaking, it's so hard to fathom how many little babies (and their mothers) around the world suffer like this little one did, praise God she is now in heaven. Here is the first post and here is the second one.

• This post cut deep to my heart, I can relate to it so much, it's about losing the joy of motherhood.

• This post looks at Psalm 131 and contentment, and I have decided that this Psalm is what's going to get me through these next 3 months as we do a lot of waiting on God for his provision and timing regarding our plans for America

• This post I read just today written by a policeman who has a disabled son made me very teary. He also wrote a letter to his 17 year old son, it too is well worth a read.

• And finally a happy post about John Piper's son and his wife.
