A Time to Reflect

Although I have blogged about our vacation, the time has been tempered with sorrow.
This week we lost our newest grandson, Jacob Christopher Johnson (Andy and Karyn) at 15 week in-utero. He couldn't stay without amniotic fluid and was too underdeveloped to survive in this world.
It is the second in-utero grandbaby we have lost this year. "Pumpkin" Voss (Nate & Chris) began as a tubal pregnancy; one who had no chance to even begin to develop. We were out of town at that time, too.

We have asked the "what if's", we consider the "why's" and we think "but, God". But we also know the Lord's timing is perfect....His ways are not our ways.....and we grieve. We know they are both in heaven now, with great grandparents they would not have met here on earth!

We are also comforted by the peace of God, "which passes all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus". Phil. 4:7, a verse that has been helpful throughout trials in my life.

Life continues, and we covet your prayers for our family; and we look toward the day we are united with these grandchildren.
"When we all get to heaven, what a day of rejoicing that will be! When we all see Jesus, we will sing and shout the victory!"
