Welcome

If you are new to our site, this blog is sort of a hodge podge of our ministry and family life, and whatever else God lays on my heart to share. The Home Page above will link you to our Sufficient Grace Ministries page. You can read more about the 501 (c) 3 non-profit organization and the outreaches of this ministry whose mission is to offer comfort and hope to grieving parents. The Blog button brings you to the page you are currently reading, featuring a variety of subjects...some ministry updates, some family news, and some biblically-based encouragement. The Walking With You page is a place for bereaved parents who have lost a baby or child to find encouragement and hope. It is an online support group created so that families would know they are not walking this path alone. On the Dreams of You Shop page, you can learn more about the products and services we offer, place an order, or sponsor a family. The Encouraging Women blog is a work in progress. There, we hope to offer biblically-based encouragement to all women. The Resource page has been newly updated with a list of resources that are helpful for grieving parents. Our blogroll is also located on this page. Thank you so much for visiting our site. Blessings to you...

Jesus is Way Better Than Santa

I was just talking to a sweet friend of mine. She and I were talking about how we wish Santa were real. This Christmas has been a hard one for so many. Wouldn't it be nice, she thought, if Santa were real? Then, we could just enjoy the excitement of Christmas like when we were children and not feel the burdens and concerns we have as adults. I have thought that, too. On Christmas morning, she awoke to find someone had surprised her family with bags full of amazing gifts. Realizing the One who provided these gifts to her family...the One who laid it on the hearts of those who gave so generously...her story ended with the proclamation, "Jesus is way better than Santa!"

I just read the awesome news that baby Stellan, who we have been praying fervently for, is doing better. The joy in Mckmama's post was shining through every word as she shared the good news with her readers. Stellan's story is one of hope and healing and miracles. And to this, I say...Jesus is way better than Santa! For, we serve a God of grace and mercy...a God of peace and hope...The Great Physician who is able to restore us inside and out...who can and does make all things beautiful in His time. Sometimes, He calms the storm...sometimes, He quiets the child. He gives and He takes away. But in all of it...His love for us is evident...His plans for us are perfect...and His grace is sufficient...always.

Rejoicing with you Mckmama...and continuing in prayer for complete healing and restoration for sweet baby Stellan. Thank you for allowing us the privilege of walking with you!
