[quote=Anonymous]God as I understand her does not put defects into babies' hearts. She doesn't ignore you when you pray to heal your child's heart; it's just that there is no magic wand. Sometimes things heal and sometimes they can't heal. If you look at nature in any form, you see that it isn't absolutely perfect with no problems or struggles. Struggle is built into the very fabric of nature. It is the way of life. 
If you're a Christian, you know that Jesus suffered and died and that he had a mother who suffered and witnessed his heartbreaking death--the death of God's son and the death of what his followers at the time thought Jesus had come to earth to do. Then of course, the transformation occurs when Jesus rises to new life. This too is the way of life-transformation out of struggle and death. It is not final, it means we are loved and not separated from God.

The reason I thank God in your case, is that even death doesn't break the bonds of love that God has for us. There is new life. Are there scars? Yes. Do you still mourn? Yes. Did you get exactly what you wanted? No. Neither did Jesus.  Jesus had scars. And he was transformed. You are too. [/quote]
