Mother's Day is always bittersweet for me. Today, we should be celebrating our first child, Jordan Taylor's, 9th birthday. My arms ache for our three children I never got to hold. My heart aches for love I never got to shower on them. Memories that never occured, events that never will happen. I am so thankful for our miracle baby Damaris. I am so grateful that she understands that while I love her so much, that I still miss her siblings. I am blessed to have a husband who walks with me through this journey of heartache to get to the point of acceptance, but never forgetting. For my fellow sisters who know this pain, I'm so sorry. I wouldn't wish these empty arms and heart ache on anyone. Happy Mother's Day to each of you!
When clouds veil sun
And disaster comes
Oh, my soul
Oh, my soul
When waters rise
And hope takes flight
Oh, my soul
Oh, my soul
Oh, my soul
Ever faithful
Ever true
You I know
You never let go
You never let go
You never let go
You never let go
When clouds brought rain
And disaster came
Oh, my soul
Oh, my soul
When waters rose
And hope had flown
Oh, my soul
Oh, my soul
Oh, my soul
Oh, my soul
Overflows
Oh, what love, oh, what love
Oh, my soul
Fills hope
Perfect love that never lets go
Oh, what love, oh, what love
Oh, what love, oh, what love
In joy and pain
In sun and rain
You're the same
Oh, You never let go

this is one of my favorite songs of all time and it hits me differently than it does you - but ultimately it is song about how our God - so Mightly and Loving - will never let go. even when the world seems upsidedown and backwards. He is still the same. yesterday, today and tomorrow. i am praying for you today, i can't even fathom the pain of losing a child - let alone 3 times.
