...But Joy Will Come in the Morning - We May Weep for a Time..., #2

When joy and sorrow walk hand in hand, can faith still carry us through?

Leah Packer wasn't sure she wanted to have children, but when she becomes pregnant, she quickly falls in love with the child growing directly under her heart – only to learn her precious baby has a rare, fatal condition. Doctors offer statistics. Friends offer pity. Her husband offers cruelty. But God offers something else entirely: hope.

Even as her world unravels and her spirit is tested, she dares to believe that God can still bring beauty from tragedy, and joy from sorrow. In the face of loss, fear, and a crumbling marriage, Leah clings to her faith and prepares to welcome a child she knows she must soon let go.

And just when she feels most alone, unexpected grace arrives in the form of her brother-in-law, Luke, and his children—offering quiet strength, laughter, and the kind of love that mends what grief has torn apart.

This hope-filled story is a testament to how God still performs miracles—even if not in the way we expect. As Leah wrestles with grief and love, anger and trust, she discovers that sometimes the greatest act of faith is simply showing up with open arms, ready to love for as long as she's given.

Through heartbreak, prayer, and an unshakable resolve, ...But Joy Will Come in the Morning reminds us that even in life's darkest hours, God's presence never fades—and joy can still bloom in the most unlikely places.
