I received this picture long ago from a friend as I was mourning not being able to have a biological child. She gave this picture to me as encouragement that Jesus was HOLDING my future child/children and had them "all picked out for us" in HIS TIMING. I remember my heart being SO SAD during that time & this "lifting me up". It still hangs on the mirror in our bedroom.
BOY, has GOD BEEN FAITHFUL to our family and filled our home to the brim with adoption from foster care, private adoption, 3 different sibling sets and giving us the blessing to carry a child through embryo adoption.
But today I look at this picture differently as the oldest had a 20 year old pregnant friend who was doing GREAT last Monday at her OB check up, went into labor Thursday and when she got to the hospital, her precious one was already gone....
I see Jesus holding her little one in His arms in heaven.
I come to you all for advice as I KNOW many of you have suffered the unbearable loss of a baby or child.
- HOW CAN WE encourage this young mother in the weeks, months and years to come?
- What helped you get through it?
- Are there any books, websites etc.. that I can send her for strength?
And please say a prayer TODAY as she lays her precious one to rest as I type .
