Today, our congregation gathered for a memorial service. Baby Isaac Matthew (Zac) Thomas went to sleep for his nap last Sunday afternoon, and never woke up. He was not quite 3 months old. Zac was survived by his twin sister, Jane. There were many tears as we sang hymns, Scripture was read, and Zac's daddy reminisced about his short but sweet life. Our choir sang two pieces by ourselves, but I'm not sure how we got through them. Zac's parents said he was always very attentive to the choir singing during church services!
As we prepare to greet the new year, let us resolve to not forget the frailty of life. God decided how long our lives would be, back when He created the world. He has a good reason for taking Zac so early in his little life, but we don't know what that reason is right now. Someday we will know, and all our tears will be wiped away and broken hearts healed.
