letting go…

15 Dec

Miss Courtney’s time this side of heaven can be counted in days now. She has stopped accepting her g-tube formula and has not peed in almost 23 hours, all signs of the final days. This will be my last update until she is in God’s arms. Please pray for peace and calm as we let our daughter go. ‪

    "The everlasting God has in His wisdom forseen from eternity the cross that He now presents to you as a gift from His inmost heart. This cross that He now sends you He has considered with His all-knowing eyes, understood with His divine mind, tested with His wise justice, warmed with His loving arms, and weighed with His own hands to see that it be not one inch too large and not one ounce too heavy for you. He has blessed it with His holy name, anointed it with His consolation, taken one last glance at you and your courage, and then sent it to you from heaven, a special greeting from God to you, an alms of the all-merciful love of God." -St. Francis de Sales

    Praying for the Holy Spirit to bless all of you with peace and strength…
