Incredibly Blessed — Repaying the Favor

When I recently wrote of the pain of leaving our daughter in Oklahoma when we move to Texas, I was simply pouring out the contents of my broken heart.  I was completely unprepared for what followed.  Friends and acquaintances, family and total strangers have all offered to take over for us when we leave.  These lovely, wonderful people have promised to tend her grave and not let her little life be forgotten.

How can I ever say thank you enough?  I handed the pain to God, and in His mercy He has sent a host of people to stand in our place.  I am completely undone by their generosity and love for us and for our tiny, precious daughter. 

Thank you, dear Heavenly Father, for seeing the pain in a mother’s heart and sending these dear ones to us.  The relief that we feel in knowing that her grave will be tended is inexplicable

This is why we have resolved to find the cemetery closest to our new house (when we find one) and tend the untended there.  We can not do this kindness for our own girl, so we shall do it for someone else’s.  It is all we can do in repayment for the kindness and grace we have been so blessed to have been given.  We can pray for those who love our child in our stead, and we can repay the favor.

God bless you all, and thank you more than I have words to say.
