1 Peter 1:6-7 In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. These have come so that your faith—of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire—may be proved genuine and may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed.

There is a lot of information on the web about Trisomy 18 and it is not for the faint of heart.

Eight child. God bless them.

It’s only our culture and society that assigns value to human life based on how long it is, or how perfect it is, or whatever shallow meaningless criteria it assigns to it.

We have somehow bought into the mentality that we are owed a long, trouble free, pain free life and that if we can’t have that, it’s not worth living, forgetting that this life is not what matters most, but the next one.

I honestly don’t think that God cares so much about how long or perfect our lives are as much as what He can do through them for the time we do have.

Indeed. I spent as long on the subject on Google Images as I could handle.

Those little ones deserve to know only a world full of love -- however long they are here...

Gotta go hug my granddaughters for therapy...
