I prayed for this child and the Lord has granted me what I asked of Him.
Being adopted, I had prayed for flesh of my own flesh, I wanted a child more then anything. The Lord blessed me with 7 boys, six of which He took home and one He left, who is now 34 years old. When I lost my first I was devastated, he lived for 6 weeks before dieing, they were all premature, except for Will (my son). He was the 5th. But for some reason by the second I had a understanding of not losing children but God raising them Himself, I knew when I leave this earth they would all be waiting for me when I come home. I lost my last son June of 1980. I was blessed with joy and peace knowing I have (not had), 7 sons, and one day we will all be together.

An interesting card, Becky. I first missed the tiny baby wrapped and cradled under the sun-like face. Nice layout and the verse is comforting.
A friend of mine recently lost her husband. She, too, is comforted by her memories and the knowledge that she will be with him again.
Ah, Becky, what a testimony! I'm so sorry you had to endure such heartache but it certainly makes you able to be of great comfort to others in the same situation. I
Very pretty Becky. The subtle striped background is soothing. I need to use yellow more often.
Becky, I'm so sorry for the losses you have had to bear, but I rejoice with you that you will all one day be together again. This card is so sweet. Love the bright colors!
I teared up a little when I read your post, Becky...I had no idea you have gone through so much pain and sadness yet you are always ready to lift others up with your beautiful scriptures and testimony.

What a pretty card.
Thank you for sharing your inspirational story.
God has given you a special spirit, you are very blessed! And your card today shows that beautiful spirit!
Such an inspiring post and a wonderful perspective. I like that you picked yellow for the main color-cheerful!
Rebekka, Your card is so sweet, and your story is amazing. You are truly a strong woman. I enjoyed visiting your blog. Your work is beautiful.
What a wonderful scripture for this beautiful card!
You are an amazing woman of faith, Rebekka! God bless you!
what a glorious yellow...sunny and sweet!
I love the bright colors and the image.
And what a testimony you share. It gave me goosebumps, just reading that you've been given 7 sons, which one of them stayed here on earth. And the other 6 are raised by our beloved Father in Heaven. I've never thought of seeing it in that way. Thanks for sharing this.
God bless!!

Awww! Very sweet!
thank you for sharing this with us...your faith in knowing that everything is in God's hands has carried you through - how does someone endure the loss without Christ? your testimony of this reminds me of Romans 8:28 in action...you are a dear sister in the Lord...
What a testimony! There are so many in the world that would be so encouraged by your words. God definitely has a plan and it's perfect. It's refreshing to meet someone that trust in it.
Huggles!

A lovely card. Thank you for sharing your heart in your post. We also have a son but he is adopted. Insights like yours help me to understand more what my son may be feeling and to be able to help him .Thanks !
Thank you for sharing your story. I, too have lost children. It's hard to talk to those who have never experienced it. I'm grateful to find people like you, who are willing to have the faith to move on and share your story. Your card is beautiful--YOU are beautiful. Thank you for sharing your life with us!
Wow, Rebekka!! I can't imagine!!!
I thought I left a comment on this card, but I don't see it. (Goggle does some weird things sometimes.) My deepest condolences on your losses, Becky. My husband and I have experienced the loss of several children. As you said we can't wait for the day when we are with all our children in heaven.
