I originally shared the content below on my Facebook profile (on the date in the Title). To understand more about the “Facebook Memory” posts, please read About: This Blog. Click here to see a full list of the Morgan Facebook Memories.
Since losing Morgan, I’ve experienced a handful of instances that were “too meaningful to be mere coincidences.” This memory is one of them.
I remember the joy of this day so clearly. It’s the day we found out we were pregnant. Even though it was too early to share the news publicly, I wanted to post something on Facebook so my future Facebook Memories would remind me of how happy that day was.
So I shared the worship lyrics that we sang at Easter service that morning. I sang them so excitedly – praising God for finally answering our prayers for a baby! It felt “right” to share these lyrics as my happy Facebook Memory post to mark the occasion of finding out we were parents. But I was only focused on the “joy comes in the morning” part.
Turns out these lyrics were “right” back then – and they’re especially “right” today. I ended up posting exactly what my “future self” needed to hear today, one year later. I refuse to think that’s a coincidence.
My circumstances change, but my God never changes. His love is the same in both the darkness of trials and the joy of blessings.
