Everyday Until I See You Again

Trisha and Ben were excited to deliver their second child but the day before their child was due the doctors couldn’t find a heartbeat.  So Tishri was induced and gave birth to baby Brendan, perfectly formed, but already in the arms of Jesus.

The following Sunday their pastor brought a message of hope from 1 Thessalonians:  “The grave isn’t the last word. Since Jesus died and broke loose from the grave, God will certainly bring back to life those who have fallen asleep in Jesus.”  Jill, a friend of Trisha decided to write a song for all the women who know this kind of loss.” The words go like this: 
“Now I lay you down to sleep, 
Oh, my baby, sweet and fair, 
Until we're caught up in the clouds, 
I take your hand, and we meet God in the air.
Until then, I'll miss you.
Until then, I'll love you.
I can't wait to see you.”
Imagine what a reunion that will be…everyday.
