Last night, as I sat beside my three-wicked candle, I inhaled the scent of autumn apple cider...as I remembered my babies...along with many of yours. The candle flickered, and I prayed for each family, reading all 156 names on the list. Names of precious, loved, dreamed of, and longed for children. With each name, my heart ached as only the heart of a mother who knows the ache of one who longs for her sweet baby can.
I hope you don't mind, that in light of the importance of remembering, I thought it was more pressing to focus on each precious life. So, I postponed Friday's giveaway.
But, here we are...with this week's final giveaway...and later today, we will announce all of this week's winners. So, to participate in today's giveaway, act fast!
Today's giveaway is a customized memorial scrapbook candle made by Michelle from Audrey's Little Light! Enter now by leaving a comment on this post. Get an extra entry by leaving a comment on the Audrey's Little Light blog!
2 Samuel 22:29
You are my lamp, O LORD; the LORD turns my darkness into light.
Isaiah 42:16
I will lead the blind by ways they have not known, along unfamiliar paths I will guide them; I will turn the darkness into light before them and make the rough places smooth. These are the things I will do; I will not forsake them.
Praying for each of us...that we would always look to the Lord to be the light in the darkness...and that we would choose everyday to shine for Him.
Love to all...

I too lit my candle and smelled the vanilla fragrance as it burned. My heart ached for all the mothers out there that has lost a child too soon. Praying for all those families.
