But the Lord sent a gift to make that day of remembrance one which brought us much to be thankful for, as well. Because in His grace, the day ended with this news...
The grace of the Lord is so wonderful, His gifts are merciful, and I am so thankful for the joy He brought out of our sorrow <3. This precious little one is due to arrive in our family this July, and the Lord has blessed Mama and Baby Bear with wonderful health! We would appreciate prayers for this little one's arrival, but also praise that the Lord has given this life to be treasured, not as a replacement to the little ones who touched our lives so much in such a short time, but as proof that our Father cares for His children <3!

I will be praying for a safe and healthy mommy and baby and birth. ((((((HUGS))))))
ReplyDeleteAlyssa <3 <3 <3! Thank you for rejoicing with us and for this precious comment - I feel heart hugged, if that makes you feel better! Also... ^ Yeah. Those emotions are all very real together. We're trusting and praising the Lord!
DeleteI totally knew you were off, hahaha! The whole reason you were actually able to "talk me into" that post is because your suggestion for this came at the very time Mama was getting things ready to announce to extended family, and so I thought, what a great way to let Alyssa know! #fail *laughing emoji*
It was the best time, Alyssa. It was such a beautiful joy to end the day with that to thank Him for. All of your prayers are appreciated, thank you so much, dear <3! (HUGS) back!
And texts aren't coming through again, are they?... ;)
Oh, I'm so sorry I didn't get it! I really should have. I mean, I thought you had more than one baby in Heaven, so I should have gone a little further with that thought, haha! Oh well.
DeleteOh no! They must not be. I just thought you were busy with your dad home etc. or were taking some time offline. This is aggravating, haha!
Hahaha! It's alright, girl <3!
DeleteWell, I haven't been texting much except to ask if you are seeing anything yet, haha... but yeah, I didn't figure you were...
Wow, Praise the Lord! I'm so excited for you guys!! Congratulations with jubilations and celebrations!!!
