A while ago a dear friend shared this song with me - the words gave (and still do give) great comfort and remind me of truths I know.
This time in my life is undoubtedly a wonderful and happy time and I'm enjoying every second of having a newborn again, however, I can't deny that having my new baby here reminds me of all I lost last year. I look at my daughters precious little feet and remember vividly holding my sons tiny foot.. each toe so perfectly formed. I remember saying to my husband.. "hunny, he has your toes!"
BUT
As Steven so eloquently puts it.. I can cry with hope! :O)
One day I will see his face again
Until that glorious day, I will enjoy the many, many blessing God has poured into my life, especially my children that remain with me on this earth.
"Heavenly Father & Almighty God, thank you for my loving, caring husband and my sweet, precious children.
Thank you for all the family and friends you have blessed me with who prayed and supported me through such a difficult time.
Please help me to love, as You love, all these precious people. Amen"
I will sing to the Lord because He has been so good to me. Psalm 13v6
That really was a cherished memory about his toes. thankyou for keeping his memory alive
ReplyDeleteYou are a very special lady, you share your thoughts and feelings so openly and you are a real witness.
ReplyDelete"But I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have fallen asleep, lest you sorrow as others who have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who sleep in Jesus."
