It's about time!

Welcome, I am finally venturing out into the blogging world. I have contemplated it for awhile and am just now getting around to it. I'm not a great writer, just thought everyone could be updated on our life with this.

Today being 16 months since Carter's birth, I thought I would share this poem that was written after he passed away by a lady in our church.

Our Smallest Lamb

Sometimes it is just too hard.

Too hard to understand and comprehend.

Too hard to bear the weight of sorrow,

And too hard to find words of hope for tomorrow.

We shudder at the thought-"If it was us,

What would we do if we were them?"

We cannot begin to feel the weight they bear,

And yet we know-Our God is there!

God sees it all and bends nearer the earth

So He can touch and hold and comfort one and all.

We know our Lord is no stranger to pain,

And yet our hearts cry-"Lord, was this in vain?"

There is no sense that we can make of it all.

We want to see-to understand,

But on this side of Heaven we may never know,

Why one day a little boy had to go.

Our smallest Lamb has left our flock,

And our hearts will never be the same.

We will never forget that he was here,

Anmd we pray that the Lord is holding him near.

We cannot take away the pain,

But we can be God's hands and feet.

And lift our loved ones up to Him,

And pray for His Eternal Healing to begin.

The sorrow nearly overwhels us all,

As we pray for strength and peace to come.

Lord we cannot say how we truly feel,

We only know we need you to be real!

Real enough to hold us up for we are weary.

Real enough to calm our hearts for they are pulsing.

Real enough to sense Your peace for our minds are fearful.

Real enough to comfort us now for we are broken.

Broken but not defeated.

Hurting but not beyond despair,

For we know oh Lord that you are here,

And above all else we know-YOU CARE!

You too have once lost a Son.

On a hill called Calvary-very lond ago.

So you know the loss and the pain,

But through your Son-our lives are gain.

So thank you Lord for all you do,

When we are at our very wits end.

We lay this burden before you throne,

Because we know-this Lamb was also Your Own!

I can't believe that it has been almost 13 months since I last held my precious baby. I miss him so much, but my God is good. If it were not for my faith I would have been lost this past year. My life verse is I can do all things, through Christ who strenghtens me Phil 4:13
