Our Lord sent His holy angels to bear home His sweet child tonight around 10:30. There was nothing else that the doctors could do, but Matilda has been healed by the Great Physician. We could ask nothing more.
It has been an exhausting couple of days, so if you call and we don't answer...
Thank you all for your prayers and support during all of this.
Vår Herre sände Sina heliga änglar för att bära hem Sitt kära barn i kväll ca kl 10.30. Läkarna kunde inte göra något mer för Matilda, men nu har hon blivit helad av Den Store Läkaren. Vi kan inte be om någonting mer.
De senaste dagarna har varit totalt utmattande, så om ni ringer så svarar vi nog inte...
Tack för alla böner och allt stöd under den här tiden.
I know that my Redeemer liveth, and that He shall stand upon at the latter day upon the earth; and though worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God.
ReplyDeleteRemove the first "upon" and that will make more sense.
DeleteI'm very sad for you all. Praying that God will surround you with His peace and hold you in His loving arms as you say farewell to your precious second born daughter. In Jesus' love, Amy
ReplyDeleteI know she is perfect and healed, but that still didn't stop the tears when I read this update. Holding your family in prayer.

The Lord Jesus keep you in His peace, dear brother and sister in Christ.
ReplyDeleteNeither life nor death shall ever
ReplyDeleteFrom the Lord His children sever;
Unto them His grace He showeth,
And their sorrows all He knoweth.
Death be not proud, though some have called thee
ReplyDeleteMighty and dreadfull, for, thou art not so,
For, those, whom thou think’st, thou dost overthrow,
Die not, poore death, nor yet canst thou kill me.
From rest and sleepe, which but thy pictures bee,
Much pleasure, then from thee, much more must flow,
And soonest our best men with thee doe goe,
Rest of their bones, and soules deliverie.
Thou art slave to Fate, Chance, kings, and desperate men,
And dost with poyson, warre, and sicknesse dwell,
And poppie, or charmes can make us sleepe as well,
And better then thy stroake; why swell’st thou then;
One short sleepe past, wee wake eternally,
And death shall be no more; death, thou shalt die.
(John Donne)
May the peace of Christ be with you in the midst of your sorrow!

ReplyDeleteToday my heart is sad, your story was shared with me from a Pastors wife in NW Minnesota. I have no words that could ease your pain, just simply know that I am praying for you.
ReplyDeleteMany prayers,
