Angels
It is with a heavy heart that I write this post. At 2:30 am on January 24, 2010, JennaLea Elizabeth and EmmaLynn Grace went to be with Jesus. Around 3:30 am via Skype, I was able to meet two of the most precious beautiful baby girls. As I write now, I am overflowing with emotions and find it so hard to express how I feel. I have cried so much that I think there are no more tears left, and yet they still come. Two little girls no bigger than 9 inches long and weighing 10 oz and 8 oz respectively, have left so many people with a longing in their hearts. I so wish I could have been there with my family as they cradled these sweet babies. Though I am not there, I know the Lord is cradling my dear sister and her family in His loving arms. I know I have shared the amazement I find in Sarah and Gary's strength, but it pales in comparison to their continued unwavering Hope they have in Christ. The first glimpse I had of the girls was through a photo Gary sent via text, below the picture was the scripture "The Lord gives and the Lord takes away, He will be praised" Job 1:21. At such a time as this Gary and Sarah continue to praise the God from whom all our blessings flow.
