A Special Evening

Tonight Bryan and I attended a small service at church...

A Service of Reflecting, Remembering, & Rejoicing

A very special woman planned this event. Her name is Allison and about five months ago she suffered from a miscarriage. God laid it on her heart to plan a special service to share her testimony and celebrate these babies that many of us had lost. The service consisted of prayers, worship, and some beautiful songs. Allison's youngest daughter read a story to us called No Tears in Heaven. It was one of the most touching moments of my life. There was not a dry eye in the crowd. We also lit candles in honor of our lost babies.

I really appreciate Allison planning this special event for our church family and community. Sometimes we move so fast in our daily lives that we forget to stop, remember, and reflect on these special babies that are in heaven now. She is such a brave soul to share her story with all of us.

Many of my friends attended the service and I was so honored to share this special moment with them. I know that it helps to find comfort in other people who have experienced the same loss and pain. Through prayers, we will all heal but never forget our individual losses.


How quietly you tiptoed into our world. Softly, only a moment you stayed but what an imprint your footprints have left upon our hearts. ~Unknown~
