I was sent an email the other day entitled "Something for your family". I opened it and followed the directions that sent me to YouTube.com. I was instructed to type in "For Noah's Family". Here is what I found, and what else could I do but share it with you...
Emily and I sat and watched this video, repeatedly. She sat on my lap and leaned back on my chest. She would look from the computer to my face, and then proceed to wipe the tears off her arms that were flowing from my eyes. Immediately she said, "We need to email them right now and thank them." Later that night, as I tucked Em into bed, you can bet that "The Adventures of Emily and Noah" included Scarlet, River, and their sweet little brother, Christian...and some kangaroos.
There are many things I enjoy having in common with other people...the death of a child is not one of them. I wish we were the only people on earth to have lost a child, but we aren't. We weren't the first ones and we won't be the last. I hate that anyone has this in common with us, but it is because of this reality that we'll continue to share, I will keep on writing, and we will never stop offering God's love and hope with anyone that will listen.
Thank you, Carly!

ReplyDeleteHi Adrienne,
ReplyDeleteI don't comment much on the blogs I read (blog commenting shyness I think it's called). But what a beautiful video. Thank you for sharing it with all of us, it brought tears to my eyes. Much love to you and yours.
This is a wonderful example of 2 Corinthians 1:3-4. (4) who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God.
ReplyDeleteHow great that they made that video and then shared it with you. Your story continues to further His kingdom. So, yeah, wow. Very cool.
ReplyDeleteI loved that video. What a sweet gift.
ReplyDeleteSuch a thoughtful and sweet video! And I, too, like to imagine all of our little babies that are in Heaven, playing together, bouncing on Jesus' knee...what a beautiful picture...
ReplyDeleteWOW!! an incredible gift to you. I've been reading your blog for sometime now and each time i read i'm inspired. your emotions pour out into words. God really is working through you and reaching others. thank you for your words!
ReplyDeleteIncredible. That was so incredible! What a neat gift.

ReplyDeleteUnrelated to this post, but realted to the blog: any news on Jason's foot? What about the appointment with the Specialist for you? Still waiting for TCH to copy your files for his office?

How awesome! Thank you Jesus! - a visitor of your blog from IN
ReplyDeleteoh. dear.
ReplyDeleteAs we say in my circle of friends, "that should come with a tissue alert".
That's just lovely. And amazing. And ... oh, I'm so sorry you have this in common, too. But clearly God is using this in both of your family's lives, and for that we praise Him.
*sniff*
That was so very precious. You have reached many people, you just don't realize how many...Noah's Story reaching out & bringing people back to our Lord & Saviour. God has HIS own way of giving us thanks! Praying for you in Nashville, TN Rose
