It's the story of an angel in disguise as a preemie in the NICU. I have given it to many parents who have been through the loss of their baby. It is very inspirational and helps heal the heart. :) I'd be more than happy to send you a copy to give them if you are at all interested. It is no longer in print and hard to come across. Just email me at jessie102279@yahoo.com if you'd like a copy. <br /><br />JessieJessiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09491308851582354495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20587323.post-82935853555478299562010-05-13T15:12:11.287-04:002010-05-13T15:12:11.287-04:00Tears.

It sounds like an amazing service and family. It is so hard to walk alongside friends when they lose a child; but, for me, it has been AMAZING to see what God does in the lives of the parents and others through dark circumstances.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03832503116664004375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20587323.post-11203431958259670132010-05-13T14:13:41.122-04:002010-05-13T14:13:41.122-04:00Hello there.

A friend of mine found it a while back and showed it to me. <br />I recently had a miscarriage. The situation is different but I have lost a child, too.<br />Some perspective God gave me during this time is about something you touched on in this post - His purpose for our lives.<br />Scripture tells us that we had a purpose and God knew us before we were in our mothers womb. Ecc also tells us that our spirits come from God and return to Him.<br />The perspective I think He gave me is this:<br />We tend to measure how much God loves us, or how much He blesses us...or His purpose for us by the way we get to live THIS life - in the flesh. The thing is, is this life in the flesh is only part of it...and a very small part of it, at that. And, some of us dont ever get to or have to live this life. We dont need to and our purpose goes much further than this life. <br />My baby came into the natural but was never 'born.' I have no doubt that some of her purpose was fulfilled through the events that took place and a lot of that had to do with me...but I also know that she still has purpose. We all do after we "die." She is still a Son and she will still reign with Him one day. Thats all of our purposes, really. To reign as fully mature Sons of God. She still is loved by God. She still is blessed.<br />I dont think my baby's purpose has been fulfilled. Our spirits have no beginning and no end, just like God from whom they came. Our purpose, then, I believe is the same way.<br />People may say, 'I'm sorry your baby didnt get to live.' The truth is, she does live and she did get to be. She is.<br />She's with God just like Smith with so much more to come for them. <br />Its comforting.<br />I enjoy your blog. Prayers for your friends in their loss.KSulliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05496060302635920463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20587323.post-84805655936217970552010-05-13T13:22:32.832-04:002010-05-13T13:22:32.832-04:00Such a heartache for this family and all who are c...Such a heartache for this family and all who are close to them.
