He sent me a txt message a few minutes ago stating that the baby's heart had stopped beating and that they are one their way to the hospital. This will be their 2nd miscarriage in about 14 months.
Thanks in advance!

My brother is angry, says it is not fair and is asking why. Any scripture references which might help?

Brother what can I say, my heart bleeds for them, it cannot be expressed in words.
Yes, I can understand how your brother, his wife and you, to come to that, must feel. I too went through such a traumatic experience. I too felt extremely angry with God and asked why? But who was I, the pot, to ask the Potter, why? God works in mysterious ways beyond all human comprehension and who is to say that this is not the prelude to His calling to the pair of them? And who is to say that they are not a part of God's predestined Plan for His chosen? Who can say anything other than God Almighty Himself? He has promised: "And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose. For those whom He foreknew, He also predestined to become conformed to the image of His Son, so that He would be the firstborn among many brethren; and these whom He predestined, He also called; and these whom He called, He also justified; and these whom He justified, He also glorified. What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who is against us? He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him over for us all, how will He not also with Him freely give us all things? Who will bring a charge against God’s elect? God is the one who justifies;" (Rom. 8:28-33).
When the pain has eased and rationality returns, join your brother and sister-in-law and all three of you get down on your knees and with broken and contrite hearts appeal to Him there is no human cure that can surpass that.
God bless all three of you. :(
Love in Christ Jesus.
Roy.

:'( I'm so sorry for your loss, Chuck....God be with you and your brother and his wife and family...
sometimes the best thing we can do is just to "sit beside" the ones who grieve and be there, without trying to "say" anything at all...
pick up groceries for them, if you are able to do that,
babysit the kids so that they can have lunch or dinner alone one day...
bring over a precooked meal or clean out the car for them....
whatever they need that they obviously don't feel like doing right now...
sometimes...its the smallest act of kindness that gives someone the most comfort in such times....
a nurse in the hospital where my son was, brought me a bottle of lavender shower gel and some chocolates....she said that lavender essence was comforting and sure enough she was right....a long leisurely bath and chocolates afterwards really put me at ease a bit and made my day a little more bearable....this all in the midst of great tragedy too....I will never forget her kindness and generosity...it meant the world to me that day! She didn't "preach" to me or try to share her wisdom....she was just a friend to me in a time of trouble.
And I will pray too!
With love,
Joyce :)
Chuck:
thanks to all for the comments, prayers and concern. my sister in law is currently in the delivery room. hopefully this will be over soon. they live about 6 hours away so it is difficult keeping up to date at such a distance. God is still in control and I know He loves us (all).
thanks again,
chuck
Robin:
I'm very sorry. That must have been devastating for them yesterday.
Many prayers for all of you.
