I
suppose some of you might be wondering what happened to Claudine and
her baby. I guess I shouldn't have put off finishing this story for
so long, but it has been a bit hard to cope with. Claudine was
faithful until the end. Amazingly, joyously faithful, something we
can't comprehend because we have never been asked to suffer in that
way. I believe her heart was broken that she was never able to see
her infant again, but even I, with my limited understanding of agony
know and have the assurance, that Jesus was there for her. I suppose she often wondered how
little Jans was doing but perhaps he died at an early age which was
so common in those days. I'm sure yearnings and prayers for her
husband and children lingered in her heart at all times, but there
was something more. God was giving her strength, she loved Jesus so much, and sensed her Saviour's love in return that she
would have gone singing to her death if they wouldn't have gagged
her. Well, she's gone to her reward now, and that is no idle platitude and perhaps I will someday get to know her on the Other
Side.
