They named him Emmanuel.
God with us.
We wanted him here
Hoped today
Would be his birth day.
But Emmanuel is with God.
We miss him.
Silently, his life speaks
God is with us.
We have this Promise
Eternal Life.
Us with God.
God with us.
Together forever.
We wanted him here.
But Jesus took him there.
We had to let him go
Even though we love him so.
We are very, very sad
But Promise is with Jesus.
For this we are glad.
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life (John 3:16).
She was pregnant
We were glad.
Unborn baby died
We were sad.
Now baby lives with Jesus
She worships at His feet.
Does she see the golden bowls
Holding prayers we prayed for her?
Does she know we’ll one day join her?
We are sad and we are glad
Heaven is the only home she’ll ever know.*
*I am baby’s grandma. I’ll know if baby is a girl or boy when we meet in heaven.
