delight...

I just wanted to thank you all for all of your prayers and kind words...

the loss of a child must be the worst pain possible...

I can not even imagine and I pray that the Lord will not ask me to bury one of my own...

my family will be in God's hands as they lay to rest the shell of this sweet soul...

and He will see them through...

visitation is Thursday...

funeral on Friday...

and her birthday is on Sunday...

also, Rebecca's gram is being buried tomorrow...

the bible says to cry at birth and rejoice at death...

and somehow we have gotten that all messed up...

because the earthly death means a spiritual birth...

a new beginning that lasts forever...

no pain, no tears...

only peace, joy and love...

in the purest forms...

so rejoice as these 2 new souls make their rounds in Heaven...

embrace their peace, joy and love...

the ones left behind will be lost and lonely for a time...

until they find the strength to stand again...

and until they do...

we need to pray...

to lift them up...

there will be questions that can never be answered here...

pain that will fade over time...

but the wounds are fresh and they need to heal...

and the sting of this moment will leave...

we have all been through funerals and partings...

and there will probably be many more before our turn comes...

and that is why God gave us each other...

and I am so thankful He gave me you...

angels...

thank you, Lord, for sending angels to keep us safe here below...

yesterday morning we woke to a small 2 inch snow...

nothing major in this neck of the woods...

but my DH hit a patch of it yesterday morning on his way to work...

and he ended up in the ditch on the other side of the road heading back in the other direction...

he didn't roll it...

the car stayed upright...

he didn't have his seat belt on...

but he is fine...

the car is fine...

and the license plate bent back into shape fine...

blessed beyond measure...

that I still have him...

but I do need your prayers today for my family...

my cousin lost his daughter yesterday...

on Valentine's Day...

5 days before her 28th birthday...

I have no details at all except that...

her mom found her unresponsive Sunday night...

and that yesterday, my cousin, Bob and his wife had to make the decision to terminate her life...

its been 30 years since I have seen Bobby...

so I never met his baby girl...

but we have a group on facebook...

and we try to stay connected with it...

something my cousins and I can't do physically because we are scattered all over the US...

but I do know they are hurting...

and that this is going to be one of the hardest things they will have to face in their lives...

your prayers would help so much...

even with all of that going on...

knowing that God has a plan...

my family is still blessed beyond our wildest dreams...

and we are forever in His care...
