Feb. 11, 2009 - When Gods blessings come specially wrapped
Today I visited a small grave where the headstone was so low in the ground it was covered by grass and had to be uncovered so I could place the two tiny bunches of flowers on the headstone. It would have been his 17th birthday but he was spending it in heaven with his heavenly father and not here on earth. When he entered our lives that morning 17 years ago it was to be only for 8 hours but he touched so many lives while he was here. He made his entrance early at 7 and a half months and was only loaned to us for a few hours. He was so tiny and born with defects,(hydrocephelus, cleft palate and weak heart) but he was Gods blessing to us and specially wrapped the way God wanted him to. Through his short life we saw the father we had not seen for over 7 years, nurses, doctors and others were touched by this tiny life. Why he had to be here only a short time I do not know and cant understand but God does and someday I will see him again. As I held him in my arms and touched his fingers and hands he was so perfect but not meant to stay. He breathed his last breath in my arms and as they took him away we cried for his brothers who were only one and two and his five year old sister for they never got to see him.Heather asked us when we went home the day of the funeral"Mommy wheres my baby", It broke our hearts to tell her he wouldnt come home but that God needed him with him. So as I stood by that tiny grave this morning with tears streaming down my face I said Happy Birthday Jeremiah We miss you.

Oh how my heart hurts for you. I never realized before just how much pain and grief the human heart can withstand. I guess we can relate to just how much pain God felt in his heart, when He allowed His only Son to be tortured and die for us. Now, that's what I call LOVE.
Happy Valentines Day.
Love you,
Josephine
