Dedication to Grace Kathryn ~ March 17, 2008My friend, Ronda, posted a dedication to our little grandbaby, Grace Kathryn, on her web site. Our time in Springfield was precious and meaningful, though painful. It was good to share our loss of Grace as a family together. Her life was brief (20 weeks and 6 days in the womb), yet we know God knows every day He had planned for her. Psalm 139:13-16 is so good. I especially like the verses:
“My frame was not hidden from you
when I was made in the secret place.
When I was woven together
in the depths of the earth,
your eyes saw my unformed body.
All the days ordained for me were
written in your book before
one of them came to be.”
Psalm 139:15-16 (NIV)“The Message” version says “conception to birth”. Ah, God definitely is alert and attentive.
The poem, “A Baby’s Secret”, also came from Ronda and was read at Grace’s graveside service by one of Rachel’s third grade students.Update Sat. a.m.:
Want you to be aware Eaglewind posted a wonderful message of comfort for us the day we had Grace’s graveside service; and I am just now seeing this morning.:) We are blessed to have such wonderful friends!
