Almost Wordless Wednesday


Yesterday before huge thunderstorms rolled through town, these dark clouds were looming over head.  I saw this and had to take a picture... if you look closely, it looks like  a heart in the middle of all the grey.



I bought this little patriotic pinwheel for Jake the other day.  I have been wanting to take it to him since Monday and hadn't yet.  It was really bugging me, so today I made Payton get in the car with me and we took it to him.



At Jake's cemetery this huge tree is what I normally park next to.  It reminds that no matter how bad things get like this tree, God is big. I know i'm covered in his love.

Payton picked him more new flowers

Love the way the Lord lit up the sky for me on the way home.  This makes me happy!

    I can see the heart!! =)

    We have two beautiful pinwheels at Caleb's grave. I love to just sit there and watch them spin in the wind. Caleb's grave is underneath a big, beautiful dogwood tree. The day of his funeral, the dogwood blooms were falling and it looked like snow. The ground was covered in the petals. It was such a peaceful sight!! God sends gifts in some of the most incredible ways, doesn't he??

    Big, big hugs!!

    I was given a blog award and told to pass it along. So, here ya go :) Check it out!

    Chirleen, I love it when I go to visit Jake and all is calm, and I when I get out of the car and all of the sudden his pinwheel starts blowing... like he knows we are there. <3

    I can only imagine how beautiful all of the Dogwood blossoms at Caleb's funeral were. God does send incredible gifts if you just look for them. :)

    Big Big Hugs to you too!

    Congrats on the blog award... I will definitely check it out. :) Thank you!

Learning how to tough out hard time and wait on the good

Life as a  grieving parent,spouse, child, friend is diffficult.  We, I, especially am the worst about wanting to go through every hypothetical situation that could've been so I wouldn't have lost my sweet Jacob. He'd still be in my arms now. However, that's not what my sweet Jesus teaches me, as a christian mommy in the book of John, Chapter 11. John, Chapter 11 teaches that even when you feel the Lord is late, he's on time. Mary and Martha called upon the Lord when Lazarus,their brother, first became ill.   Jesus was in a town a couple of miles away and did not immediately go to them when they called him.  Instead, he finished his business in town,a nd went two days later.  Lazarus had passed away; Mary and Martha couldn't understand why they called upon Jesus and he didn't come right away. Jesus loved Lazarus. I relate to them completely. In the hospital almost five years ago - I called and called upon the Lord to touch myself and Jacob, to work ...

Infant and Child headstone ideas

Image
Many times a week I see parents searching the internet for infant and child headstone ideas, as well as stillborn baby epitaphs, and epitaphs for infants.  I hope I can be of some help to all of these parents.  I have been in your shoes, "Googling" all of these exact terms, trying to find the perfect stone and wording for my son's very own headstone.  I know all of these decisions are hard and you wish anyone but you had to make them, but I promise you, you will get through it. << Big hugs to you>> Most of the ideas for headstones below are from the monument company here in Texas that I ordered my son's headstone from.  I'm sure other monument companies across the world could replicate these if you just ask. The first one I came across is Winnie the Pooh.  It is fairly common here in Texas and often used for older children.   Most babies and children are comforted by a teddy bear, why not give them an everlasting teddy with a headston...

To my Sweet Baby boy

  ╰ ☆ ╮   ღ  ღ  ღ  ღ  ღ  ღ  ღ  ღ  ╰ ☆ ╮ Dear my sweet Jacob,    You were supposed to be here in my arms tomorrow.  Today mommy and Mimi went shopping for groceries.  There were several pregnant ladies out and about.  They made me very sad to see.  I couldn't help but look at them and think that should be me.   I should still be pregnant.  I should be bringing you into the world soon.    You should be in my arms right about now, keeping me up at night.  I should be rocking you to sleep and getting to know each of  your cries, coos and smiles.   After we left the grocery store, I went to buy you balloons to send tomorrow on your due date.  I didn't see any that I wanted.        I have decided that I would rather skip the day completely.  I would love to stay in bed all day and not see anyone or talk to an...
