We’ve had 3 miscarriages over the years.
The first one was 11 years ago this week, February 19.
Read about Miscarriage, Mass and Music on my little blog I Blog Jesus
and read these comforting words from Madeline to another mother experiencing the loss of her baby.
They comfort me too.
I know you had dreams of holding him close, seeing his smile, holding his little hand as he took his first steps, sitting him on your lap and telling him all the wonderful things about God, but He had a different plan. I hope you find comfort, one day, in knowing that you have a beautiful, perfect little boy in heaven who is now taking care of your family until you are able to join him, and that God instead, has your little boy on His lap and is telling him the wonderful things about you.
Another chance to win a Craft Kit at the Homeschool Mother’s Soiree!
Family Fun Conversation Pieces
Gearing up for LENT!
What are you going to do (or not do) for LENT this year?
A view from my desk.
No time to hide the clutter when this little guy is posing like that.
I’ve got another project planned using the Saint Scripts Craft Kits
and these Saints drawn by 15 year old Kelly.
Stay tuned…you will be able to use the SAME Craft Kits
for a whole new project!

I’m sorry to hear about your losses. We just experienced our second (our first was only four months ago) and it’s incredibly difficult and in many ways, very isolating. I don’t really find things that mention miscarriage as God’s plan to be comforting because I don’t think they were His plan, but rather He allowed them to happen, but we all find comfort from different things.
Those words from “Madeline” are wonderfully poignant; are they printed up somewhere, or is she someone you know? I’d like to pass them along to a friend. Thanks for sharing!
I feel the same way! She’s a lady in a Facebook group and she gave me permission to quote her. I don’t think Madeline is her real name.
