In Fond Rememberance

In Rememberance of Bella Faith

~A gift from Heaven~

We Prayed

We prayed for a miracle,
God sent it.
We prayed for time,
God gave it.
We prayed for blessings,
God showered us.
We prayed for grace,
God enveloped us.
We prayed for hope,
God showed it.
We prayed to God to keep her,
He called her home.
We prayed for the hurt to go away,
God held our hearts in His hands.
We prayed to God for understanding,
God comforted us.
We will see her again,
God has promised us.
In memory of our tiny sweet angle, Bella Faith.
She was sent to us for a brief moment,
God blessed us with her presence.
We know we will be with her again,
God promised us.

"Before I shaped you in the womb, I knew all about you.
Before you saw the light of day, I had holy plans for you."
Jeremiah 1:5

We are all mourning the death of a sweet angle,
Baby Bella Faith. She was a sweet angle sent down to us from Heaven just 11 days ago. She weighed 13.5 oz. and was 10 inches long. Judy, my friend and sister in Christ, gave birth to her in her 6th month along, due to health issues. It's hard to put into words what she ment to so many people. My husband, Jeff, says it well in a small post he wrote yesterday:

Little Bella Faith

Though your time on earth was short
Your life touched many.
Though you never walked
You helped people walk by faith.
Though you never spoke words
Your life spoke volumes
of God’s love and grace.
You brought many to their knees
And made their faith stronger.
Thank you, Bella Faith, for your example
Of Gods presence.
Your life touched me deeply.

While I was making this wreath for Judy and her family I had many thoughts running through my head, so I decided to put them to paper and try to describe the Blake Family and how I see them. They are a close knit family that loves the Lord.

The Grape Vine Wreath

Represents our Family
We start out as a couple and our lives are intertwined.
God blesses us with children.
We wrap ourselves and our lives around them.
God holds us together,
interweaved through every aspect of our lives,
all our thoughts, our hopes and dreams.
He holds us close together, protected by His love.
It’s like a never ending circle of faith and hope.
Thank you Lord for loving us this much
We are held together by you.

Dedicated to the Blake Family

The Journey

Life is but a stopping place,
A pause in what’s to be,
Arresting place along the road
To sweet eternity.
We all have different journeys,
Different paths along the way,
We are all meant to learn some things,
But never meant to stay…
Our destination is a place
Far greater than we know.
For some, the journey’s quicker,
For some, the journey’s slow.
And when the journey finally ends,
We’ll claim a great reward
And find an everlasting peace,
Together with the lord.

Matthew 18:10 KJV
Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, that in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in Heaven.

Tiny Angel

For brief and fleeting moment,
An angel touched the ground;
With tiny wings and halo,
And sweet, soft angel sounds.
Blessing the lives of others,
In beauty and in grace;
Those who saw the angel,
Knew that God had kissed the tiny face.
The angel came for reasons,
We may not understand;
A journey brief, with gifts so great,
And guided by God's hand.
So, rest now tiny angel,
Your work on earth is through;
In the beauty of God's perfect love,
We saw His gift in you.
