Footprints on our hearts
Verse... “Do not fear, for I am with you; Do not anxiously look about you, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, surely I will help you, Surely I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.” Isaiah 41:10
Thought for today... If God seems distant, who moved?
Song... This is a really great song.. He never lets go of us!
Poem..
"The mention of my child's name may bring tears to my eyes, but it never fails to bring music to my ears. If you are really my friend, let me hear the beautiful music of his name. It soothes my broken heart and sings to my soul."
Footprints on our hearts
How very softly
you tiptoed into my world.
Almost silently;
Only a moment you stayed.
But what an imprint
Your footprints have left
On our hearts.

A Birth Healing Blessing....
Verse... For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. Luke 12:13
Thought for the day... "Some say you are too painful to remember, I say you are too PRECIOUS to forget!"
Song...
Poem...
A Birth Healing Blessing
Blessed sister, beautiful one
with broken wings.
Your journey is a difficult one
that no mother should have to endure.
Your path is steep, rocky and slippery
and your tender heart is in need of gentle healing.
Breathe deeply and know that you are loved.
You are not alone,
though at times, you will feel like a
desolate island of grief
untouchable
distant.
Close your eyes.
Seek the wisdom of women who have walked this well-worn path before you,
before,
and before,
and before you yourself were born.
These beautiful ones
with eyes like yours
have shared your pain, and
weathered the storms of loss.
You are not alone (breathe in)
You will go on (breathe out)
Your wings will mend (breathe in)
You are loved (breathe out)

Heaven's playground
Verse... “Jesus said, ‘Let the little children come to me and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of Heaven.” Matthew 19:14
Thought for the day... God is with you no matter how great the storm you are going through.
Song... I love this song! It speaks how I felt when I was going through my losses...
Bonus video...
Poem....
Heaven's Playground
by BSC
Sitting alone on a crescent moon,
Dipping her toes in the stars,
This tiny little angel,
Nibbling on chocolate bars.
Perched on the edge with her fishing pole,
What can she catch in the sky?
Perhaps a little cherub,
Who's just learning how to fly.
From a star another is swinging,
His wings brushing to and fro,
Wiggling his feathers and pumping his legs,
This swing just goes too slow!
What is that over there?
On the tail of a comet they ride,
It's two more little angels,
Playing on heaven's slide.
The sweet sound of children laughing,
So happy, yet not very loud,
A group of tiny cherubs,
Tumbling about on a fluffy white cloud.
Feathers floating everywhere,
Tiny halos askew on their heads,
Full of vim and vigor,
With nary a thought of their beds.
These precious protectors of the night
Have caught me quite off guard,
As they frolic through the heavens
Safely in God's backyard
Thought for the day... God is with you no matter how great the storm you are going through.

Faith
Verse... “He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.” Psalm 147:3
Thought for today... If God gave you a dream, he will give you a way to fulfill it...
Song... This has become my life's theme song since losing my babies... It is a wonderful song.. I hope you ladies enjoy!
Poem...
FAITH
I talked to God about you
last night as I prayed
He said, "I know you loved her too
but I had to take her away"
He told me not to worry
that she was just fine
and for me not to be in such a hurry
because I would hold her again in time
He said, "Your grandparents are here
and they watch over her for you,
so there's no need to cry more tears
because she gets sad when you do,"
"She wanted me to tell you she was proud
to have a mother who loves her so much
and it hurts her to hear you cry so loud
when you are longing for her touch,"
"So be happy and live your life
you will have such a blessing
I know when the time is right.
love mommy-

If only it were September...
If any of you ladies are interested in reading my story about loss and ttc you can find it here at www.graceamber.blogspot.com. I will warn you that my most recent posts are about being pg after three losses. The story of losing baby grace was started in May 2009. My heart goes out to each and everyone of you today.. {{hugs}}
Verse... "The Lord is near to the brokenhearted, and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” Psalm 34:18
Song...
Poem....
If Only It Were September
You would be here if it were September
Then I would not have sadness to remember
You would be lighting up our lives in so many ways
Just like you did for only six days
I think of the things you and I did not have the chance to do
Such as changing your diaper or giving a coo
Oh, what life would be like if you were still here
There would be no more tears and definitely no fear
I would be singing you a silly song or two
Watching your face and loving you
Your big brother would be giving you a hug and a kiss
To see him with you would have been bliss
All we can do is sit here looking at pictures of you
Struggling to stay here on earth for us two
Leo, you will always be on my mind and in my heart
Constantly questioning why we had to part
You are our precious little baby boy
And will always be bringing us joy
Every month, every day, every hour, every minute
Life would have been great just to have you in it

My dearest family....
Verse.... "Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;
in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight" Proverbs 3:5
The Christian Alphabet...

I magine life without His love
J oy would cease to be
K eep thanking

Y es, there will be good times and yes some will be bad, but
Z ion waits in glory, where none are ever sad!
Song... This isnt done by Hillsong, but the girl has a beautiful voice!
Poem...
My dearest family
Some things I'd like to say
But first of all to let you know,That I arrived okay
I'm writing this from Heaven, Where I dwell with God above
Where there's no more tears, Or sadness there Is just eternal love
Please do not be unhappy Just because I'm out of site. Remember that I'm with you
Every morning, noon and night
That day I had to leave, When my life on Earth was through
God picked me up and hugged me. And He said I welcome you
It's good to have you back again. You were missed while you were gone
As for your dearest family. They'll be here later on
I need you here so badly As part of My big plan, There's so much that we have to do
To help our mortal man
Then God gave me a list of things, He wished for me to do
And foremost on that list of mine Is to watch and care for you
And I will be beside you Every day and week and year And when you're sad
I'm standing there. To wipe away the tear
And when you lie in bed at night. The days chores put to flight
God and I are closest to you In the middle of the night
When you think of my life on earth, And all those loving years
Because you're only human They are bound to bring you tears
But do not be afraid to cry. It does relieve the pain
Remember there would be no flowers. Unless there was some rain
I wish that I could tell you, Of all that God has planned But if I were to tell you
You wouldn't understand
But one thing for certain, Though my life on Earth is over,I am closer to you now
Than I ever was before
And to my very many friends, Trust God knows what is best
I'm still not far away from you. I'm just beyond the crest
There are rocky roads ahead of you. And many hills to climb
But together we can do it. Taking one day at a time
It was always my philosophy. And I'd like it to be for you too
That as you give unto the World. So the world will give to you
If you can help somebody. Who is in sorrow or in pain
Then you can say to God at night. My day was not in vain
And now I am contented. That my life it was worthwhile
Knowing as I passed along the way. I made somebody smile today
So if you meet somebody. Who is down and feeling low
Just lend a hand to pick him up. As on your way you go
When you are walking Down the street
And you've got me on your mind. I'm walking in your footsteps
Only half a step behind. And when you feel the gentle breeze
Or the wind upon your face
That's me giving you a great big hug. Or just a soft embrace
And when it's time for you to go. From that body to be free.Remember you're not going.You are coming here to me
And I will always love you. From that land way up above
We'll be in touch again soon.
