Last Friday, our first born baby boy would have turned 6 years old. The weeks leading up to that day were difficult, but I can honestly say that the day of I truly felt God's arm wrapped around me in love. To honor our son we decided to do something fun that we would enjoy. Because we also know that's what our son would want for us and what he would be doing as well. Julice III was always smiling, laughing and enjoying himself!
I will always miss my son. I am reminded to be thankful that I had him as long as we did (5 years and 5 months). Because there is nothing that says you are supposed to have children or that you are guaranteed to have children. I think of the many women who try to have children and cannot, or the ones who have lost a child younger than ours was.
The truth is we could have lost him at birth because when he was born he was not breathing. So I thank the Lord for the time, memories and love that I experienced. Don't get me wrong. The grief has been deep. Something I learned through Griefshare is that where there is deep grief there was deep love, and what a blessing that is to have experienced that.
We won't understand everything that we and others experience. Isaiah 55:9 AMP
[9] “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways And My thoughts higher than your thoughts.
I have to remind myself that even in this God will use it for good.
Romans 8:28 AMP
[28] And we know [with great confidence] that God [who is deeply concerned about us] causes all things to work together [as a plan] for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to His plan and purpose.
