I believe God's promises are true. I believe Heaven is real.
I believe God will see US through. I believe nothing can separate
Us from God's love. I believe God has work for me to do.
"Believing against the grain" means having a survivalist attitude. Not only can WE survive, but out of it we can create something good. We need to cry out to each other for help and cry out, "God help US believe!"
Thinking of you and thanking you for your thoughts and prayers while my hands are recovering. Melissa

.../ Margaret Lewis Johnson (mommy of a lil cody angel ) It always breaks my heart to hear that another child has left us behind. But then I remember they are now "ANGELS" above us looking down with all their love and smiles. In a strange way I am glad my lil Cody isn't alone up there that he now has a big Cody to play with. I am sorry for your loss...as I hate those words they are the only ones that come to mind. Your Cody is handsome and full of all the special things that made him unique.He can teach lil Cody how to play baseball and He can learn to ride the bulls from my lil one.May God Bless Your family I will keep you in my prayers as well as my heart til we all meet again above.

From Cody to all / Sara (Mommy) A Letter From Above
Dear Mr Postman, can you send a letter from me I need it sent from up above to my earthly family Please send it quick, my mummy's sad, I hate to see her cry Every night she prays to God and sadly asks him why.
Please let it say, I could not stay, with an angel I had to go I'm fine, I'm happy here with the other babies I know I hope it reads to Daddy, I know you love me too I miss you lots and all the things that we had planned to do.
Grandma, how I'll miss your hugs and kisses planned for me I know how much you'll miss the growing child that I should be Close it with I love you so, I'm with you in your heart I never really left you see, I was an angel from the start.
This was on Cody's funeral card / Sara (Mommy) Little Angels
When God calls little children to dwell with him above, We mortals sometimes question the wisdom of His love. For no heartache compares with the death of one small child, Who does so much to make our world seem wonderful and mild. Perhaps God tires of calling the aged to his fold, So He picks a rosebud, before it can grow old.
God knows how much we need them, and so He takes but a few To make the land of heaven more beautiful to view. Believing this is difficult still somehow we must try, The saddest word mankind knows will always be "Goodbye." So when a little child departs, we who are left behind Must realize God loves children, angels arehard to find.
God will be waiting, to help you bear, The pain and the sorrow of your suffering care. For no pain or suffering is ever too much, To yield itself, to God's merciful touch.
He will care for nd love your little angel, The little child, that you loved so very much. Your child is in God's care now, You child is in God's touch.
Our beautiful angel / Sara (Mommy)

Thinking of you / Melissa Smith
Here on earth we are put together in families. Our loved ones become inexpressibly precious to us. We live in intimate associations. One gets so close to mother and father, wife or husband, sons and daughters, that they literally become a part of one's very life. Then comes a day when a strange change comes over one that we love. He is transformed before our very eyes. The light of life goes out for him. He cannot speak to us nor we to him. He is gone and we are left stunned and heartbroken. An emptiness and loneliness comes into our hearts. We brokenheartedly say "That the one whom I loved is dead." It is such a cold, hopeless thing to realize. Then, out of the very depths of our despair, comes that marvelous declaration of our Lord: I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: and whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. John 11: 25,26
Then we know! We know we have not lost our loved ones who have died. We have just been separated, and as long as we live there will be an empty place left in our hearts. To some extent, the loneliness will always be there. But when we really know that one is not forever lost, it does seem to take away, a little bit, of the sorrow. There is a vast difference between precious memories, loneliness, the pain of separation, on the one hand, and a sorrow that ruins and blights our lives, on the other hand.
Hope these words are of comfort to you my friends. Please, please know that you are always on my mind and in my heart and prayers. My hands are not better yet, in fact the left one is very numb right now, so it is hard to type. But even though I can't write every day as I did before, I think of you every day. In Christian Love, Melissa
Not now, but in the coming years, it may be in the better land: we'll read the meaning of our tears, and there, some time, we'll understand.
Thinking of you.... / Cindy Mommy To Angel Kaydence
Love and Hugs..... Cindy

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY 2006 / Melissa Smith
A CONSOLATION VALENTINE MEDITATION
ON THE WINGS OF DEATH AND SORROW, GOD SENDS US NEW HOPE FOR TOMORROW. AND IN HIS MERCY AND HIS GRACE, HE GIVES US STRENGTH TO BRAVELY FACE THE LONELY DAYS THAT STRETCH AHEAD. AND KNOW THAT OUR CHILD IS NOT DEAD, BUT ONLY SLEEPING AND OUT OF OUR SIGHT. AND WE'LL MEET IN THAT LAND WHERE THERE IS NO NIGHT.
Love is always bestowed as a gift -- freely, willingly, and without expectation.... We don't love to be loved; we love to love. ~ Leo Buscaglia
"Life is eternal," the good Lord said, So do not think of your loved one as dead- For death is only a stepping stone To a beautiful life we have never known, A place where God promised man he would be Eternally happy, safe and free, A wonderful land where we live anew When our journey on earth is over and through- So trust in God and doubt Him never For all who love Him live forever, And while we cannot understand Just let the Savior take your hand, For when death's angel comes to call "God is so great and we're so small"… And there is nothing you need fear For faith in God makes all things clear.
"Today shalt thou be with me in paradise" Luke 23:43
This has been the most hopeful and helpful words about life after death for me, the words Christ spoke to the penitent man who was dying that day by His side.
