This Sunday marks the 1 year anniversary of a dear friend's baby Nathan going to meet Jesus.
Tonight our small group bible study will celebrate his little life with cupcakes and books given in his memory. We will pray over this sweet friend and ask God to provide sweet peace and everlasting joy.
When we celebrated Aaden's first birthday a friend suggested we give books dedicated to him. I keep these books in a special place and when we pull them out to read, we have a special opportunity to remind our boys about their brother in heaven, about Jesus, about eternity.
Below you can see a little peak at one of the AadenSage collection. I pray this little gift is a blessing to my friend.
"And God wants me to make sure you know about heaven. It's a wonderful place.
There are no tears there.
No monsters.
No mean people.
You never have to say 'good-bye,'
or 'good night,'
or 'I'm hungry.'
You never get cold or sick or afraid.
In heaven you are so close to God that He will hug you, just like I hug you.
It's going to be wonderful. I will be there, too. I promise.
We will be there together, forever.
Remember that...
just in case you ever wonder."

ReplyDeleteLooks great, Ashlee.
ReplyDeleteI love the collection. And I love the end of that book, those are great words to hear and remind us all about heaven! I just wish I hadn't read them and started to cry while I was waiting for class and surrounded by people! Love you!
