The strongest reasons that present themselves to my mind are these: This world is a very wicked world; and it … grows more wicked and corrupt. … The Lord takes many away, even in infancy, that they may escape the envy of man, and the sorrows and evils of this present world; they were too pure, too lovely, to live on earth; therefore, if rightly considered, instead of mourning we have reason to rejoice as they are delivered from evil, and we shall soon have them again. … <br /><br />“… The only difference between the old and young dying is, one lives longer in heaven and eternal light and glory than the other, and is freed a little sooner from this miserable, wicked world. Notwithstanding all this glory, we for a moment lose sight of it, and mourn the loss, but we do not mourn as those without hope.”5 <br /><br />“A question may be asked—‘Will mothers have their children in eternity?’ Yes! Yes! Mothers, you shall have your children; for they shall have eternal life, for their debt is paid.”6 <br /><br />“Children … must rise just as they died; we can there hail our lovely infants with the same glory—the same loveliness in the celestial glory.”7 <br /><br />sorry it is so long but wanted to share.. my heart hurts for you and your family. you are in our thoughts and prayers!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6331955044475723770.post-77757334796589929252010-08-24T14:01:59.104-06:002010-08-24T14:01:59.104-06:00I know we sure felt Mikkie at the graveside servic...I know we sure felt Mikkie at the graveside service...it was truly a miracle! Jeremy lost his nephew who was the same age as Mikkie, and I knew that the funeral would be a little harder on him than he would care to admit. He was holding it together so well until that little white butterfly came fluttering by and then the rain...it was just beautiful!<br />When you got up to read that poem, I was so inspired. the strength that it took to even be able to write that, let alone stand up and read it, is just so amazing. We just love your family to pieces...and especially little Faith! *hugs*Kristynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6331955044475723770.post-60651706304422908572010-08-24T12:01:18.433-06:002010-08-24T12:01:18.433-06:00Hi Laura,
