DEATH:
BABY’S

My own mother-in-law had a baby that died and she went through fire and water and blood and tears and toil, but through it she came to a wonderful spiritual experience. She had to sit up in bed, weak and weary as she was, and make the baby’s coffin. Her husband made it out of wood and she made a cloth lining of whatever she could get hold of. When the funeral was held, she stood by the grave with the rest and when everybody was expecting her to break down, she said, “Shall we sing together?” And she led off in the Doxology. Some people went away and said, “Mrs. Pfautz is insane.” Others went away with moist eyes and said, “There’s a faith and love that can give her newborn to the grave and sing ‘Praise God from whom all blessings flow’ beside that grave.”

2 Samuel 12:23
