Faithful friends and words of hope and life

While no words can fill the void the death of a child leaves in a family, there is a great deal of comfort gained from knowing that people are caring. We have been truly blessed by the love and support our family, church, friends, community and fellow adoption families have poured out upon us.

Here are just a few of the healing balms that were sent to support us through the storm.

I am SO sorry and sad. What heartache! I will be praying that God gives you comfort, peace, and clear direction. But also I will praise God with you for His sovereignty. We truly are a vapor ---- HE is eternal, constant, unchanging, and our ONLY Hope!

Will will rejoice with the Angels in Heaven as they have embraced your precious son and we are weeping with you and your loss. Please know you are in our prayers. So glad God gave you confirmation you are still on the right path, His path, with the notice of being out of IBESR!

"I will turn their mourning into gladness; I will give them comfort and joy
instead of sorrow."

There are not words for the loss, but we will praise Him in the storm with you. Peace upon your family and Godspeed on bringing home and comforting W......

Overwhelmed with emotion for you and all of your family tonight..........so
happy you were both able to hold, love on, adore your sweet, sweet
boy...............so heartbroken that it was only for just a moment. "Jesus we
ask you to hold so very close your children tonight, we know that YOU promise us
that YOU know every tear that falls from our eyes. And I can say that I have
found YOU to be faithful even when we walk through the valley of the shadow of
death and with that confidence I pray tonight that YOU will be again faithful to
this family-your children! For their precious child still waiting to come home
and join them may YOU bring him peace, and comfort and understanding beyond his
tiny age. For their children waiting at home for their brothers to arrive be
their comfort, peace and hope tonight. Thank-you that when ALL around us changes
YOU alone are unchanging and in that truth we put ALL our confidence! We trust
YOU, we love YOU, we need YOU. Amen"

These are but a few of the many wonderful posts of blessing and encouragement we received. They are a balm to my heart and a reminder that we don't grieve alone nor do we stand alone when we raise our eyes to heaven and chose to praise Him in the storm.
