Happy Birthday, Samuel

Happy Birthday, Samuel,
Well, others in the family have beat me to writing you birthday wishes but I want to add my wishes with the rest. I woke up this morning remembering your birth day. That day ushered you into earth but only for a moment and then right into Heaven.

That was such a special day, Samuel. I have never felt that I was standing on such holy ground - not in church, not in my quiet time, not even in Jerusalem itself. That hospital room was literally full of the presence of the Lord. I kept looking so hard to see an angel. I thought maybe I could just get a little glimpse of one. I knew they were there to usher you to God's Throne. I never saw one that day but I saw so much more.

I saw God's faithfulness, His Presence, His pomise to walk with us through every valley. I saw these things in ways I had never seen them before. I saw these things take place right before me and I knew some things as well.

I knew you were safe, well, happy, and more alive than any of us. I knew you were in your forever home.

Four years have come and gone, Samuel. But you will always remain a special part of our lives until we get to meet you again in our forever home. Until then - Happy Birthday, sweet boy.

  1. thank you mom! I don't think I'd ever have made it without your love and support and listening ear. I love you and I know Samuel would have too just like all the other grands. Thank you
