Matthew William Clemens
Hi all! I know that it has been a long time since I have posted and I am sorry. Tonight I want to write about my beautiful son. Matthew died 8 years ago today. He was on life support for 2 months before he died. He was a beautiful child and my gift from God. Watching him die was the hardest thing that I have ever done in my whole life. But I wouldn't take back a second of it. It makes me think, how did God do it? How did God send His son to die for sinners. I didn't want to give my son up to heaven but God gave His son up to us. Thank you God for always loving us. We don't desevere it but thank you so very much. God had truly helped me through this time. Every time I think I am alone He shows me that I am not. He used my mom in a mighty way. She has been my rock. When I was sad and crying she loved me. She never gave in to her overwhelming sadness that I am sure that she felt. She helped me to find my way. She always remembers. When the world has forgotten what happened mom remebers. She makes me feel like there is someone out there that is thinking and praying for us. Thanks mom! You are my hero. Matthew is blessed to have such a Grandmother. I hope everyone has a blessed week. Remember, no matter what you are going through, God will take care of you. He always helps us through. Praise God! Tanya

I cant imgine what you went through losing your son!! But so glad to hear that you had a wonderful mother to help you!!!
Sorry to confuse you but I forgot to add that Kristy was someone I was just praying for I never had the chance to meet her. I don't know how to do track backs so I just usually copy the address on there but forgot, that thanks for the very kind words. Please forgive me for the mistake!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

To all of the Clemens members,
I remembered Matthew's day yesterday and I was praying for all of you. Be rest-assured that he is sitting and playing at the right hand of God. It's nice to know that he is safe and happy. These days we have so many things to worry about with our children. I think it's wonderful that Matthew is playing in Heaven and doesn't have to worry about anything bad happening. Bless him.
Love,
Angie

Isn't it amazing to serve a God that loves us that much. That he gave his Son for us. That he choose us, when we were sinners!!
I know losing Matthew was and is still a difficult thing!! But while we would never choose those hard things, those are the most valuable experieces as well. When God really reveals who he is and that he is enough. I know you have learned that well. I am so blessed to have you as a friend.

My dearest Tanya, I don't know how God did it either. It was always one of my greatest fears, to lose one of you before you had a chance to live. To watch you go through it was like my worst fear multiplied. How do you help someone go through something like that, let alone the child I carried inside myself and loved for all that time? I didn't feel like a hero...........I felt totally inadequate, like a big bowl of jello. It's a good thing that God isn't.
I love you. You were an amazing baby, a bright child, and the most awesome woman!! I see so much strength in you. It will be quite the reunion when we are all in heaven.

How He turns Evil Into Good Is Amazing
Posted by JacqueDixonSoulRestES
We watched The Passion on Saturday and Sunday.
I am so touched by the way Mary is portrayed. I have never known how she could and how God could give so much. - How Jesus could give so much. I don't know if I ever will.
I am sorry for your loss. I know it was 8 years ago, and I really don't know you, but I feel sorrow with/for you. Praise God He can turn sorrow into joy and evil into good.
Praise God He gave you Resurrection Sunday at this time to remind you of what Matthew knows, to give you hope and peace.
Praise God for Moms. Praise God for Moms. Under-appreciated, often misunderstood, but always loyal: Moms.
Many Blessings and Teachable Moments to you!
Jacque
