The little BIG things!

Yesterday, as I wrote in my post, was a tough day. A day of disappointment. Those days come and those days go. The GREAT thing about yesterday, was that I said prayer to my Heavenly Father. I prayed that He would encourage my heart and lift my spirits. AND HE DID!!! He sure knows what He is doing! I am excited to share just how wonderful God is and how BIG He can make the "little things".

Last Christmas Eve we got a new DAUGHTER!! My WHOLE life I will LOVE telling her Christmas story. Anyway, I told my husband that my necklace just would not work anymore and that I would need a new one. (here is the necklace he got me when we adopted our first two kiddos)

Loved the two hands that represented my two kids. But with the addition of our second daughter, I knew I needed a new one. So for part of my Christmas gift my husband said to find a necklace I liked that represented my kids and get it. I looked and looked and found LOTS of pretty necklaces...but it took me until last week to find what I wanted and at the right price. I wanted something that could represent ALL my children. I found it on ETSY at a shop called Hannah Design- (byhannahdesign.etsy.com ) I fell in love with her jewelry and her prices and after choosing her noticed her name! It was meant to be! I made my custom order and in less than a week it arrived! It arrived in the mail just a few hours after taking that pregnancy test that once again was negative. Just a few hours after praying and asking for help to lift my spirits. It was like He knew I would need this necklace on THAT day at THAT time! His own little warm hug sent to me! Here is my NEW necklace.

My disc with "benjamin" and a pearl. My flower with "hannah" and a pearl. My flower with "sprout" and a heart and my flower with "ruth" and a pearl. I LOVE IT!

You might be asking why I would include sprout. I included sprout, because she was a real living child of mine. She now lives in heaven, which is why I chose to get the heart. Because that is where I keep her memory, is in my heart. And to me it is not a sad thing at all. When I thought about it, leaving sprout out would have been the sad thing to me. It is my strong belief that if we would treat these little lives like they were and are just as important as any other human life, then maybe they would not be so easily forgotten in our society. And this is my little way of showing that I believe that life is precious and begins at conception and will joyfully celebrate the little life that was sent to us.

And so as I opened the package with the little box, and saw the pink satin little bag that held my necklace, my spirit was lifted. I put my necklace on and could not help but smile. With the names of my children around my neck, the day was no longer "negative" like that pregnancy test. What a BIG thing this "little" necklace of mine is! It is perfect for me and I will wear it with joy and pride! God is good ALL THE TIME!
