This side of heaven...

Today is baby Jacob's birthday/heaven day. He would have been six.  We would have had a six year old, seven year old and a twelve year old....on this earth! We would have been raising three busy boys....if it were our will. When we put our faith in Christ, we allow His will to happen.  This does not happen without pain, but we will see God through the pain.
 
Jacob was born sleeping....right into the arms of Jesus. My precious baby. Carter knew Jesus and loved Him and loved heaven.  Into the arms of Jesus at the age of nine.  My precious son. Bradley loves Jesus and looks forward to our life to come with the Lord, where he will be reunited with his brothers. My precious boy.
 
As we live our lives on this side of heaven, we keep our eyes fixed on our life to come. God is bigger and stronger than our own understanding.
 
Give your children an extra hug today.  Be ever so thankful for your gifts from the Lord.
 
 
"I am leaving you with a gift - peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don't be troubled or afraid."  John 14:27
