Take a look at this picture:
Look at the dates on the markers. This family endured the loss of three very young children, all within a few years of each other. As much as Deb and I have ached over what happened to Ian, this is unthinkable. These markers are across the path from where Ian is buried. It’s as if God ordained the positioning so that every time I visit Ian’s grave, I must put my grief and pain in perspective. This family endured what we have, three times.
I’m not going to try to diminish what Deb and I have gone through, but it shows one law in this world: someone always has it worse. And that is why we are put here–to minister to that person.
