When words are useless

Today a dear friend's four month old nephew died. He spent his whole time on earth battling a congenital kidney disease. He had surgery to remove his second kidney last week and everything was going okay. Then suddenly he was taken from his parents by an infection his little body couldn't beat. His family is in shock and heartbroken. Tonight I'm praying for my friend and her brother and sister-in-law. I'm sad and I'm a little angry. I know that as my friend said "her little man is in the Best Arms now" but it still hurts and I ache for them. And I ask Jesus to truly be this family's Emmanuel ("God with us"). We cannot escape grief and suffering in this badly broken world but we are not alone...
