Special Angel

Well today three years ago, I held an angel in my arms. Grace Elizabeth Harris was born to the Lord. Having her has taught me so much. How to completely put my trust in the Lord and how miraculous life is and so much more. I mean the miracle of life is amazing and taken for granted so much! Do you know how hard it is to trust the Lord completely? Verses I clung to"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not lean on your own understanding" Proverbs 3:5 But I quickly found out that "..in all things God works for the good of those who love him.." Romans 8:28 And "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11 The Lord did have a plan for me and my blessings from Grace are amazing!

Today I decided to plant a flower in her pot by her grave. I could not bring myself to post the picture of her tombstone..maybe in a year or two I can share. Anyway, usually Parker is in school but today he wasn't. I took him to Wal Mart and told him we were getting a flower to plant somewhere very special. He was only 2 1/2 when Grace was born. He does not remember and barely knew what was going on. He did know there was a baby in mommy's tummy but we did not talk about it much with him especially after I started having so many problems. then he knew I was in the hospital but I was just sick. Anyway, he was excited and we pulled up. He said.."Dead people" He started asking me about dead people and I told him it was just their earthly bodies that they had new bodies in heaven with Jesus. He said.."so in the ground they are probably skeletons by now" Then we pulled up to Grace's grave. He wanted to know right then who it was. I told him it was our angel in heaven. He then wanted to know what the name was. I told him Grace Elizabeth. We planted our flower then he asked "Is this your sister?" I told him no..I guess he thought it might be since he knew Daddy had a brother in heaven. That was all he asked. I just think he is still to young to tell him everything and I don't want to scare him since he can relate to having a baby sister. I really was shocked he asked as much as he did. Oh and he recognized the word Jesus out there and wanted to plant a flower on the grave of Jesus. I used that to tell him Jesus did not have a grave because he was alive but he reminded me that yes he did die for us and raised from the dead. I guess he is right but the tomb is Empty!! Praise the Lord! Anyway, it was a good day and I am so glad my little helper was with me.
Mommy Loves you baby girl! Your tiny little feet are on my heart forever!
