Mourning

By Joel Mitchell

Our hearts are filled with sorrow
Our unborn child departed
We're glad that she's in heaven
And yet we're broken-hearted

We never got to hold her
Never saw her smile
Never heard her voice
Now we're parted for a while

God must have a plan in this
Of that we can be sure
Though she will not return to us
Someday we'll go to her

The baby was a girl?

We won't actually know until we get to heaven . . . but for now we've named her Deidre Jael Mitchell. If it turns out he's a boy he can change it to David Joel Mitchell so he doesn't have to go around heaven with a girl's name and get laughed at by his cousin Elijah who is already there.

You know, I would give much to be able to have my baby here, to be able to see him, hold him, and watch him grow. But isn't it amazing to know that he is in Heaven right now? He will never know sin, he will never know sorrow, he will never know pain or suffering. I can't really complain, I guess! God is so good. I'm so thankful that He takes care of these little ones. Anyway, I'm going to go hide and cry for awhile now. :-)
