3 months

It has been 3 months.
Alethia Memorial Service (9)

These milestones are always so hard, and for some reason, thinking about how Alethia Joy would have been 3 months today is even more difficult than previous milestones. Maybe it's because around 3 months of age, babies seem to have so much more personality and can interact more with those around them by this age.

I love it though how God gives us an extra measure of strength just when we need it...

The Lord woke me up this morning with this line from the song "Great is Thy Faithfulness" in my head and I have been thinking on it all day--
"Strength for today, and bright hope for tomorrow,
Blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside."
He truly has shown me His strength today in the midst of the pain in my heart.

Continuing to pray for you sweet friend. I know this will be a tough month for you.

I love it when I wake up with a song in my head that is so appropriate for the day. Its so like our loving God to give us just what we need, just when we need it. I am glad that you didn't have to spend one second of your day without that reminder: Great is Thy faithfulness....even when our hearts are broken.

Love you.
