I am a Child of God

I've been thinking a lot about life and about our little Eve lately.  She is always in my heart and wonder how different things would have been if she were still here.  I know that I have grown so much in so many ways since she left.  She will always have a piece of my heart.  I came across these verses the other day and couldn't help but think of our little girl in the arms of  her Father in Heaven.  

This is a song that is written for children who have gone back to our Loving Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. It goes to the song, I Am a Child of God.

I am a child of God and He has called me home.
My earthly journey's through
but still, I do not walk alone.

He leads me, guides me, walks beside me,
helps me find the way.
He welcomed me with open arms.
I live with Him today.

I am a child of God and I have gone ahead.
My earthly life was brief but oh,
such peace and love you gave.
You loved me, held me,
stood beside me and though I cannot stay.
You gave me much to help me
and I live with Him today.

I am a child of God and I will wait for you.
Celestial glory shall be ours,
if you can but endure.
I'll lead you, guide you, walk beside you.
Help you find the way.
I'll welcome you with open arms,
One bright Celestial day.

Remember...

Anytime I hear of a child passing away, my emotions of losing Eve come back. My biggest fear is that I'm afraid people will forget about her. She changed my perspective on life. I saw miracles happen and even though we couldn't bring her back, it changed the way I feel about life. I would like to say thank you to all those who came to her funeral and helped with everything. The many friends and family that kept me company to help keep me busy. I had ladies cleaning my house and even an acquaintance of my mom's donate the headstone. (They did that for us that year instead of a sub for Santa.) We did not get to come up for memorial day this year, so some of our family went by to make sure her grave was visited. Thank you, now I will get off my soapbox. I just wanted to remember her...
