Lila Rae's Heavenly Birthday

This is the day the Lord has made. We will REJOICE and be glad in it.

It was three years ago this day that Cory and I gave our precious, beautiful, auburn hair, blue eyed, baby girl to the Lord.

She had fighting so hard for so many weeks and her little body just couldn't take it anymore.

Cory and I had just come back, to the CICU, from lunch when the doctors met us at her bed. They told me it was time to hold my baby. I knew this was it. I hadn't got to hold her but only a few moments until this. Cory and I sat there all night long until she went to be with the Lord. I held her in my arms for 12 straight hours...the Lord had given me a good bladder for a reason! There was no way I was putting her down for anything!

I get goose-bumps when I think of how she went from my arms to our Saviours. We handed her over to Him. Knowing that she would be healthy...something we tried to desperately to give her. God could give her so much more than we ever thought we could.

I am waiting for the day that my Jesus will say well done my good and faithful servant. And then He will hand Lila Rae to me so that I can hold her for eternity.

“But those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint”

Isaiah 40:31

God is good...ALL the time,
