Andrew and Teddy
(excerpt from "A Faith that Endures")
There are many words I could say today but I'm feeling quiet. Fourteen years ago at 12:58 p.m., Andrew was born to our family. We rejoiced. A few years later as a little boy, he asked Jesus to be His Savior and the Lord of his life. The angels rejoiced! We love him. We miss him. We long to see him. One day we will.
I'm ready.
In the meantime, I'll just keep sharing the message of the Gospel. Remember, "God loves you and He has a plan for your life."
And as you walk out the plan, you are not left to do it on your own; Jesus is praying for you.
As always, thank you for your encouragement and prayers these past many months.

Now he skates on streets of gold! Oh, how I love this boy.
Living out my dreams, I spread my wings on the west central coast of Florida, loving 1 fine man, 3 fabulous children and a pup named Ted. My thoughts soar with words for wings.

Happy Birthday to your wonderful boy in heaven. Coming from a baker's heart, I'm sure the cakes in heaven have nothing on my earthly creations.
ReplyDeleteYour sweet family is in my thoughts and prayers tonight.
Thinking of you & praying for you today.

Happy Birthday Andrew! I'm looking forward to meeting you one day...
ReplyDeleteAnd thank you Mel, for sharing that beautiful boy of yours with us all.
What a gift, what a gift...
Melanie:
ReplyDeleteIf Andrew could see you and hear you standing firm and sharing God's grace, (and maybe he does) he would be so proud of his mom.
The price you have paid as you stand and proclaim that God is faithful, cuts right into the heart of those of us who listen, and I'm one of them.
Keep sharing sweet girl, it's part of the gift of Andrew's life, and so many are listening.
