God's Renewal


My heart is sad as I sit here thinking of the precious baby we lost 2 years ago today. I remember sitting in church the previous Sunday singing "Blessed Be Your Name" and praying in my heart that our baby would be okay. The phrase that says, Every blessing you pour out, I'll turn back to praise.....You give and take away and my heart will choose to say, Blessed be your Name. For whatever reason, God chose to take our baby, but my heart and mind will continue to praise His name! Without that loss, we never would have had our sweet little Eliza! She is the blessing that has been poured back out to us! And definitely one of many! Her name means 'Renewal of God's promises'. Wow, He is continuously giving us unexpected blessings every day through her!

Becky-
I meant to let you know in other ways but I do want to let you know I have been thinking about you and the baby that you have yet to meet. What a sweet day that will be!

A mother's heart never forgets....
And only a mother can hold the tears and longing in her heart. I have walked down this path with you, and I know as you do, the joy I experienced when they placed you in my arms. You are my sorrow turned to joy! We never forget that place in our heart, but God fills it with so much joy!
I love you so much my precious joy!

I pray the Lord filled your day today with wonderful reminders of His faithfulness and peace. I often think of the little "moms group" of kids we have waiting to meet us up in heaven some day :-)

Thinking of you today as you miss the baby you have in heaven. Praying that God blesses you with glimpses of hope and His abundant love (through the faces of Adrianna and Eliza?) today and every day.
