a gift

I received a package in the mail the other day (always an exciting thing in our house!). I opened it to find a sweet card and a cd from a new friend. Someone I have never met but has provided me a lot of encouragement since the loss of Jordan. You see, it is hard to understand someone's heart unless you too have experienced the same loss. You can empathize and be there for someone, sure, but if you have actually been through it, you understand every detail...from the lowest of lows to the highest of highs. Unfortunately, Sarah also lost her sweet baby boy. I am blessed to have been "introduced" to her, even if only through emails (and now snail mail) and I am SO grateful!
Ok, now, back to the package...(sorry, I got a little sidetracked)...it was a CD. Watermark to be exact. I had never heard some of their songs but one just tugged on my heartstrings. It's called Glory Baby. If you haven't heard it, I ask you to please look it up and listen to it.
Sarah, thank you SO much! I LOVE it!

Oh, I'm so glad you got it and are enjoying it! I have listened to that song many a time - sometimes with tears running down my face and sometimes with lots of joy - just depends on my mood. Since they can't be with us, I'm so glad both our boys are enjoying heaven! Still thinking of and praying for you often!! Lots of love, Sarah :-)
