This is love.
If you don't think that there is any way that suffering through the tragedies of life can glorify God, watch this video. It's absolutely beautiful. There's a heartbreaking joy in this, and a deep Christ-likeness in this young couple expressed in their love for their baby.
I'm overwhelmed.

wow.
Man, that's horrible. The disease. The pain. The grief.
The reaction to it: beautiful.
As the dad was describing all the things wrong with Elliott at the end, and then giving God glory, I was thinking, "Nonbelievers would watch this and think we are crazy."
