We may never know the "Why?&q...Thank you Dale. We may never know the "Why?" of the deaths of our children...but as you said, we DO know the Where? answer. The "Who?, What?, Where? and When? answers in regard to their newly transitioned Life are..."Who" they're with-- (God)-- "What" is it like --(Paradise)-- Where did they go?--(Heaven/Paradise)--When will I get there?--(When it is "my" time to transition). He leads the way...we follow... He is Our Shepherd. Brandon is NOT dead...he is ALIVE and WELL in Paradise and we are blessed by our wonderful God to "know" that! I would like all of us bereaved Christian Moms to feel that, on this site, we can all sing that wonderful song you've been blessed with..."It is Well With My Soul" without feeling persecuted for our beliefs! Love you too!DONNA--(Admin)https://www.blogger.com/profile/06615435504270283978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5270579737122401821.post-62964622259333695672012-08-29T11:53:05.088-07:002012-08-29T11:53:05.088-07:00Dear Donna...this speaks right to my heart. I love...Dear Donna...this speaks right to my heart. I love the analogy of "horizontal and vertical, those two points make the cross"..an adequate description of humbleness and pain. Where but on the cross was this so lovingly demonstrated...and also, in our own grief and loss. But the rest of the story is about power...the power to overcome and know the hope of a life eternal.<br /><br />I think of my sweet, strong, boy who spent most of his short life developing his muscles and his heart...and his spirit. The latter gave in and gave up...so it seems...but his love of and belief in Christ has made him whole in Heaven. Never to be depressed and disappointed again.<br /><br />God has sent me signs in my deepest, darkest, grief and has not let me suffer about not knowing my son's whereabouts. I think of other Christian moms who may go through this unnecessary hell that I went through in the beginning and even now, on some days...when the devil is back at it again. "It Is Well With My Soul" has been the song sent to me in the most miraculous ways and in a very public way...others have witnessed it. God never fails to come through for me when I need to hear from Him the most. I am blessed to know this and will confess my Savior forever and be glad to throw my rewards at his feet in Heaven on that day. Thank you for this cherished place to come...to share...to not be persecuted for what I believe. It is like a home hearth...much like those wonderful Lawson cards you send on Christmas that give me a warm feeling of comfort. I love you dear friend. dalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12895716278227105903noreply@blogger.com
