I am still confident of this: I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Psalm 27:13
Sunrise crept purple, pink, and gold behind the maple.
The tops of the tallest trees glittered as they caught slivers of sun.
Elli’s tree at it’s most vibrant, as if it knew today was the day to shine.
Elli slipped into eternity on a morning like this.
Four years ago.
Thank you for the heavenly greeting, sweetheart. We miss you.

I’ll be thinking of you and your precious girl all day today, friend. May Jesus hold you closely.
Out of these ashes beauty will rise
And we will dance among the ruins
We will see it with our own eyes
Out of these ashes beauty will rise
For we know joy is coming in the morning
In the morning, beauty will rise

Hugs and prayers for you, sweet friend. All I can think is joy comes in the morning. Praying your heart finds joy this morning, as you look ahead to that Great Morning when you’ll see your Savior and your daughter face to face, hand in hand.

I started to leave a note on your beautiful rose instagram but decided to on your blog instead. I can’t imagine ALL of the emotions on your inside, and I never know quite how to encourage, but I’m hugging you in my heart.
