~ Children In Heaven ~ 2 Cor 1:3-4

[Amanda's mom]

I think we will all be reunited soon. The feeling is so strong these days.

I think it's safe to say that we are all in agreement on that.

I have noticed there are a lot of us who have children living in Heaven. I thought it might be nice to start a thread for our kids. I know it is the hardest thing I have ever lived through and I can't wait until I see that child again. I never tire of telling people about my child. My Sarah went to be with our Lord on 2/16/97 at the age of 16, she was murdered while at work.

you will see her again:hug

My heart goes out to all you sisters (and brothers) who have suffered this most wrenching loss.

My precious son Mark died October 25, 2001 in a car crash. He was 23, a senior in college, a basketball player, bright, smart, lovable, and irreplaceable. He was driving my husband's recently acquired sports car. His best friend Reed was with him and died also.

There is no way I'd have lived through the agony if Jesus hadn't carried me. He is still doing that.

It's still extremely painful and difficult to talk about. Not a day goes by that Mark and Reed aren't in my heart and thoughts.

I miss my baby.

[Amanda's mom]

I miss my baby.

Great thread. My heart really goes out to you. My grandparents couldn't even bring themselves to talk about their stillborn baby, stillborn between my mom and my uncle back in '46 or so.

I wonder if God names the children who don't get names here on earth; I know my one great aunt's daughter had a miscarriage early enough that she never had figured out a name for. It's fun to imagine, when we get up there, meeting all these precious people.

Should be how God names them, but it won't let me edit, for some reason.

ANewCreature,
Father just gives them the name their parents would have given them;)
Remember, He knows EVERYTHING!!!
Maranatha!

Thanks. Yeah, it's just so amazing and overwhelming how He knows what could be, too, not just what is! He is so amazing!

My thoughts and prayers go out to all of you who have suffered such loss. I hope I get to see the day when you get to run and embrace your loved one.

I know were it not for God removing the tears from our eyes, I wouldn't be able to watch very long as my eyes would quickly be blurred by tears.

I pray for an extra helping of God's grace in each of your lives... :pray

In Christ... :hat

wow, i am so sorry for all of your losses. i cant imagine losing a child i grew to love and take care of. i had a miscarriage 2 years ago. i was only 5 weeks along, and the day after i found out i was pregnant, i miscarried. so obviously i never knew if it was a boy or girl. i know life begins at conception, but it has just been so hard, knowing that i only knew for a day that i was pregnant, and that by this worlds standards, he or she never had a heartbeat, so was never "alive". i never named him or her. and i learned that way, that God gives gives, and He takes away. i have always wondered tho, if i will recognize him or her when im in Heaven.
