Mercies anew

I close my eyes, basking in the gentle warmth of the sun
Its light kissing the surface of everything around me
The soft hum of cars passing by barely breaks the silence of the morning
And I am at peace.
Though the world is living in fear
Though the virus has put us all in isolation 
Though we know not what tomorrow brings
I find myself content.
Here in this moment, the sun wrapping me in a warm soft hug, in the quiet before the day begins, I find God.
It's as if He's sent this comforting sunshine to remind me of His unfailing love. 
Just as the sun is holding me, He holds me
And as the sun gives life, so He is the giver of all life 
I find peace and comfort in this moment
I'm thankful.
Thankful for this moment of calm before the day ahead
Thankful for the gentle reminder of God's grace
Thankful for the strength I find in Him
The day has begun

My dear child

I see your perfect little lips Your tiny fingers And ten tiny toes I'm amazed everytime I think of you I see your tiny nails and sweet little nose I wonder who you'd be Who would you look like Would you look like me?

This little white bedding is made in case a mom has to lay their little one to rest. Today I mourned the loss of so many more than my own little babies. I thought and prayed for the mother's who said good bye to their children before they were ready.  The little blue bed was for another little boy who was laid to rest this past week. We're never ready to lose our children. We're never ready to lose our moms either. I thought and prayed for those who lost their moms today too. But I don't know what that feels like. I do know what it feels like to bear a child, hold that child in your hands and then have to lay that child in the ground. And although I can't say or do anything to take away the incredible hurt that causes I can try provide something soft and beautiful to la
