Psalm 127:3-5

Behold children are a gift of the LORD,
The fruit of the womb is a reward.
Like arrows in the hand of a mighty warrior, so are the children of one's youth.
How blessed are those whose quiver is full of them

Loss

My brother and his sweet wife Jennifer lost their precious baby that was due to arrive on May 1 of next year. We are all grieving the loss of a family member we will never get to meet. We are praying daily for Jen and John as they grieve and allow the Lord to heal their hearts. We are also praying for my mom and dad as they have been very saddened at the loss of a grand-baby.

We lost a baby that was due October 16, 2007. I was devastated over that loss and scared that something was wrong with my body. For whatever reason, God did not allow that baby to come live with us here on earth. But on December 28th of 2007 He gave us Serene... my precious, amazing Serene. I don't know why I didn't get to hold that baby but I am so grateful that God chose to let us have Serene to hold.

Miscarriage is a very hard thing but God does heal those wounds... He is faithful to mend our hearts back together when it seems to be broken forever. I pray mending and restoration for John and Jen's hearts today!
