God doesn’t take, God receives

Some of you may have seen
— as I did — the CBC presen-
tation on Witness last week of
the film Siamese twins, Katie
and Eilish.

Born in Dublin, Ireland, to
a couple who already had
three children, Katie and Eil-
ish were joined at the side
from hip to shoulder. The one-
hour movie takes us through
the first three years of their
lives.

We see their life together
and as part of a loving, accept-
ing family, and we are aware
as we watch of two separate
individuals joined together in
a very special way in one fused
body.

We begin to share their par-
ents agony and anxiety as
they come to the decision to al-
low the twins to be separated
by surgery as their hope for
the success of the procedures

grow.

Unfortunately, one of the
twins, Katie, dies due to a
heart weakness that is only
discovered at the time of the
surgery. It was a beautiful
film, but a sad one.

We could not help, viewing
it, entering into the sadness of
the situation of the two beau-
tiful little girls conjoined in
one body. Nor could we avoid
the sadness of the loss of
Katie. The death of a child.

I have a niece who with her
husband several years ago lost
a baby daughter from SIDS,

crib death, And as I was
watching that film, I recalled
their response of faith to that
heartbreaking event. Like the
couple in the movie, there was
no blaming, no bitterness, and
my niece was able to believe
and to say, “God did not take
our baby, but God received
her.”

Grief and sadness come to
us all in life. Life itself is a se-
ries of gains and losses. Some-
how, some of us forget that
and expect life to be an ongo-
ing series of gains, that life
should be getting better and
better, all the time without al-
lowing for setbacks and loss
and pain.

And far too often, because of
our distorted and unrealistic
expectations, when difficulties
come we are often surprised,
overwhelmed and _ looking
around for someone to blarhe.

And sometimes that some-
one we turn to blame is God,
as though God was some kind
of mean old guy up in the
heavens somewhere who
takes delight in causing little
children to die or loved ones to
suffer with disease, or some
other kind of catastrophic
event.

If that is who God is per-
ceived to be, who can be
blamed for rejecting such a
God?

No. God did not take Katie
or my niece’s daughter, Jillian,
but God did receive them.
Grief, loss, sadness are hard
things to bear. If we reject God
and the company of those for
whom God is a reality, how
then shall we carry these bur-
dens?

Who else will share them
with us?

The world and the worldly
cannot, It is a burden that is
too uncomfortable, too heavy.
Left to our own devices, we hu-
man beings do not have the
words, the patience, the em-
pathy to sit with sadness of
others for very long. We want
to “get on with it”, to avoid it.

But God, our God is a loving
God, says the psalmist, God’s
compassion is everlasting.
God, who receives us all, the
little children, the broken-
hearted parents, the sadness
of the dying and all who expe-
rience the pain of this world
can and does see us through.
