Sometimes the material just comes and the posts just write themselves. Here I am talking about beautiful for 31 days, and yesterday — well, it was just beautiful for some of our friends. Our sweet friends who also lost a baby last year had their rainbow baby yesterday. A rainbow baby — because I didn’t know before our G — is the healthy + living baby you have after you’ve lost a baby. Their precious baby boy was born yesterday afternoon and is healthy and doing great. Tommy and I are really excited to go meet him. It’s always amazing when a baby is born — every baby is truly a miracle — but man is it even more so for a rainbow baby. God is good, and I know there will be parts of having this baby that intensify the grief but I also believe God will use him to continue to bring healing to their whole family.
Then my other friend got her first foster placement last night! They have a sweet little boy and wouldn’t you know what his name is. It’s the same as one of my boy’s and not the one who’s living. We are really thrilled for them and are excited to get to watch these new relationships form. I was a hot mess with the new arrivals and watching God redeeming lives around us last night. My goodness. It was purely beautiful. Just beautiful.
And because nothing I can say can top those stories from yesterday, I am going to leave it at that for today. The most beautiful things! Oh, and Go Vols!! {Florida game tomorrow + the excitement around here is so awesome}
