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...

SGM Christmas Extravaganza Giveaway Number 2 - Reunion Heart Pendant!!



Pictures from http://www.cbd.com/ (my favorite place to order books, cds, and other items! I am so excited about the SGM Christmas Extravaganza, that I just can't wait to announce the next item on our list of giveaway goodies!!  Actually, I am announcing two more items, in addition to the choices of several beautiful memorial ornaments we are giving away on the Walking With You page. I absolutely LOVE the necklace above...so much, that I wish I could enter my own giveaway!! What I love about this necklace is that it comes with a message of hope...not the idea of wallowing in our grief, but of looking ahead to the hope we have of a forever reunion one day, because of Jesus. It comes with a poem that ends with the words:                                                                                                                                                   God lets this tender hole remain



Reminding me we'll meet again,


And one day all the pain will cease


When he restores this missing piece.


He'll turn to joy my every tear


And when I wear this necklace near


It will become my special way


To treasure our reunion day


And the beautiful reference to this comforting promise in scripture, He will turn every tear to joy on the keyring also pictured above. Anyone is welcome to participate in this giveaway.  And...it's easy. I will choose one winner for the necklace and one for the keychain from those who comment on this post. You can get extra entries by writing a Remembering at Christmas Post on your blog and linking to the WWY page (because I'd really like to see more people joining in on that special post ...plus you could also enter for a special remembrance ornament on that page...two for the price of one!). You can also receive additional entries for Facebooking  or Twittering about the SGM Christmas Extravaganza. Please just leave a comment here for each thing that you do. Help us spread the word...and some Christmas joy...to those who are missing someone this Christmas!!!

Comments Closed...a winner has been chosen! =)

Really beautiful. My scripture I hold onto is Revelation 21:4
"He will wipe away every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away"
When the pain is so deep & I'm missing My Isaac & Hannah so much, I remember there will come a day that He will wipe my tear streaked face & I will hold my babies as He holds me.

This one brought me to tears. I often say I have two baby-sized holes in my heart. I'm keeping the writing challenge unread in my reader so I remember to do it!

The reunion heart is really neat. I have one that was sent to me by a friend and I put some string on it and hung it on the tree last year.

Kelly, I just want you to know I'm here, and I'm reading, even if my participation is lacking. POtty training, teething, surgeries, sicknesses...the list is endless, and my blogging is suffering. But I wanted you to know I'm still here.
