Wow, I am so sorry that your friend was so insensitive to your feelings right now. I have had that verse shown to me and more and have learned to take it with a grain of salt. Yes, children are a blessing from God, but being disciplined as his children is also a blessing -as hard and strange as that seems to be and say. Perhaps you are being prepared for something very special and have to go through more than what your friend will ever have to go through. Obviously you have more wisdom on when to not say hurtful things in the hopes of being nice or "Christian." I am reading a book right now called Hannah's Hope

This book has been hard for me to read at times even though I just got it two days ago because of what it has to say.
Don't let your friend upset you. God bless you and may He be your comfort while you hurt. I understand about the anniversary and Christmas. My fourth miscarriage happened a few days after Christmas last year. My thoughts and prayers will be with you during this Christmas season.
