Prayers of the Heart

This holiday season has been one like I never knew existed. The hole in my heart was more pronounced and I could not get into the holiday mode. I had prayed that somehow I would have enough strength to survive Christmas and enjoy my boys. Well I woke up on Christmas Eve and the ache was gone. I still missed my little girl but I wasn't looking at the world through a gray cloud. It was a wonderful and spiritual weekend. (I will post more about the details of the holiday in another post.)
I need to write this experience down to remember that even through the darkest hours we are being carried and the Lord knows the desires of our heart. I had never spoken out loud my desires for Emma's headstone. I knew the finances just weren't there to get it in when I truly wanted it. I had it all designed mid-November and had planned on setting up a finance plan to pay for it. This is where angels come in. I had been praying for some way to have Emma's headstone in by her due date. I didn't know how this was going to be possible but I really wanted that. I wanted that chapter to be complete.
Well my prayers were answered. We had some generous friends and family give of themselves to make it happen. They had no idea that this was my prayer, I had not even told my husband. We had all of the money we needed and then some to even put in the vase Alex wanted. I am so grateful for those who have listened to the Spirit. You will never know how much your act of kindness means to me. Thanks you from the bottom of my heart!!!!
