For those of you who visit this post, we would as that you pray for our friends Frances and Todd Graham. They tragically lost their newborn daughter, Emerson Juliette, this past weekend due to unforeseen complications immediately following her birth. Words cannot take away the pain of such loss. Simply time and God's abiding love. We know there will be a void for Frances and Todd; however, we also know the Lord is the One who fills that gap. We pray the Graham family (and other families faced with similar tragedies) will find the healing, comfort and peace that only God can provide.
As you can imagine, this has made us pause and reflect on our own lives. We've been reminded that God's plans are much greater than our own. We've been reminded that God is the ultimate Father. We've been reminded that we must be willing to let our Father protect us, comfort us and carry us through life's storms. We've been reminded that life happens fast. We've been reminded to cherish each and every moment. And, we've been reminded to "give thanks in all circumstances" (1 Thess 5:18).
Here's to you sweet Emerson, we know you brought such joy to your parents during your brief stay with us.

I feel for your friends who lost their baby. My best friend lost her 8 year old this summer. I will be praying for them. Check out my friend's blog theatkinsfamily6@blogspot.com. She is learning to live with her loss.
Love the video of Thompson singing.
