Sweet little one,
I cannot believe it’s been a year since we said goodbye to the hope of holding you on this side of Glory. For us, it’s been a long year. We miss you and we wonder what life would’ve been like with you here. But, we wouldn’t wish you back for one moment for you are in the most glorious place imaginable . . . but I guess you already knew that. You went from life (whoosh) to eternal life and you are with Jesus and your older sibling. What a special place that must be! I wish we could talk to you and hear what Glory is like. I wish your sister, Alexa Hope, could play with you. But, we’ll look forward to the day all of that will become a reality. It will be a glorious homecoming! We cannot wait to meet you and your older sibling face-to-face. I’m so thankful Jesus loves the little children. He promised us the “kingdom of heaven” belongs to you – so you are right where you are supposed to be. My sweet one, rest securely in Jesus’ arms until Mommy & Daddy can embrace you. We love you so much and think of you and your older sibling more than you’ll ever know.
We will l see you very soon,
Mommy & Daddy
SIT WITH YOU AWHILE
This past week, I’ve been trying to process the lessons I’ve learned over the course of this year. It’s been challenging with many emotions attempting to choke out Truth. However, the song, “Sit with You Awhile” by Jami Smith keeps running through my head. It’s a beautiful ballad that puts my heart at peace. It quiets my soul, gives me perspective and promises an unfading hope in Christ. And that’s what I need today, I need to sit with Jesus, to be held in His arms, to be in a place of safety and rest, where nothing in this world can touch me. This song also brings with it a comforting reminder that our little ones are with Jesus already experiencing these realities and my heart is overwhelmingly grateful for the promise of Eternity with them.
Sit with You Awhile by Jami Smith
When I cannot feel
When my wounds don't heal
Lord I humbly kneel
Hidden in You
Lord you are my life
So I don't mind to die
Just as long as I
Am hidden in You
If I could just sit with You awhile
You could just hold me
nothing can touch me
though I'm wounded
though I die
If I could just sit with You awhile
I need You to hold me
Moment by moment 'till forever passes by
When I know I’ve sinned
when I should have been
crying out my God I’m hidden in you
Lord I need you now
more than I know how so I humbly bow
hidden in You
If I could just sit with You awhile
If You could just hold me
Nothing can touch me
though I'm wounded
though I die
If I could just sit with You awhile
I'd need You to hold me
Moment by moment 'till forever passes by
If I could just sit with You awhile
If You could just hold me
nothing can touch me
though I'm wounded
though I die
If I could sit with You awhile
I need you to hold me
moment by moment ‘til forever passes by
sweet moment by moment ‘til forever passes by
sweet moment by moment ‘til forever passes by
