When I hear that date, I think of our baby that may very well have been born to us at St.Francis hospital on the 8th. Our due date was actually the 12th, but since Esther was a few days early on hers, and my favorite number is 8, we are considering this our due date. We are remembering our child as he is now in heaven, and we can't wait to meet him. We miscarried in January of this year, after excitedly announcing to everyone at Christmas the great news. We gave a picture frame to Lance's folks with a drawing resembling a necklace I wear with a diamond for each child. It had 3 sparkles instead of 2, thus giving the joyous news.
Isaac
Your little name is Isaac
we saw you in a dream
You're smiling with Jesus
You're dancing with the King
We went to hear your heartbeat
we waited for the sound
Could've heard a pin drop
the silence was so loud
the silence was so loud
I've never shed more tears
than in the parking lot that day
I don't know why you're home
but Jesus wanted it that way
but Jesus wanted it that way
We have so many questions...
Why'd you have to go?
Why can I not hold you?
Things we'll never know
God knows all the answers
Things we'll never know
God knows all the answers
to things in our hearts and minds
We just have to trust him
in Him our rest we'll find
in Him our rest we'll find
On Him we are falling
to Him we dearly cling
He gives and takes; sometime it breaks
but to His name our hearts still sing
but to His name our hearts still sing
Glory to the Lord,
our Savior reigns on high!
He is our love, our Adonai,
Messiah is our King
Messiah is our King
Jesus, thank you, Jesus
Your ways are so far above
I don't understand your gracious hand
but I know that you are love
but I know that you are love
Isaac, I want to hold you
I want to have you near
but God know best, it's time to rest
with Him and not down here
Goodbye my darling baby
You are so blessed to see
our Redeemer's face, His saving grace
You are so immensely free
You are so immensely free
Your little name is Isaac
we saw you in a dream
You're laughing now with Jesus
You're dancing with our king
Yes, you're playing, running, singing, clapping,
living with the King!
living with the King!
