My sister was to give birth Wednesday to a little girl and her name is Ella Jo. My sister made a stop by the doctor's office for a check-up and paperwork before heading to the hospital. What happened next has been overwhelming for the entire family. During the doctor's visit they couldn't find the heartbeat and an ultrasound determined that Ella Jo is stillborn. As I think of my sister and her husband I can't begin to fatham the depths of their pain. We don't know what Ella Jo would have been like but their is one thing I do know. We will get to see her one day, it's just gonna be longer than we expected. In Matthew 18:10 Jesus is talking about the children. He says "Take heed that you do not despise one of these little ones, for I say to you that in heaven their angels always see the face of My Father who is in heaven." I like to think that Ella Jo met her angels Wednesday afternoon. Her grandmother, great-grandparents, and Bill Jr. from Gina's side of the family and Chucks relatives that have gone on as well. I picture them gathering around Ella Jo saying "Hello Ella Jo, there's someone we want you to meet and his name is Jesus. She's in the place we are all waiting to get to. She beat us home, and until we meet, goodbye Ella Jo. |

Bless her heart. It's so hard to understand why why these happen. I am glad that those of us who are Christians can take comfort in knowing that we will see our loved one again someday. All the questions and all the "Whys?" that we have will be answered in time. Your family is in my prayers. God bless you.
