"O Father, light up the small duties of this day's life: May they shine with the beauty of Your countenance. May we believe that glory can dwell in the most common task of every day."

Fearfully & Wonderfully Made

A dear soul shared this with me. Her beautiful, healing and poignant words have pierced my soul. Thank you ever so much, sister in Christ...

Fearfully and wonderfully made
You were fearfully and wonderfully
made
Tiny form never gracing this earth
My broken womb never giving you birth
You were fearfully and wonderfully
made.
I will always wonder how you were knit together—
boy or girl?
I will always wonder if blonde and blue—
or black way curl?
Though I never heard your heart beat
and though your life began incomplete
You were fearfully and wonderfully
made.
God is Sovereign and Good.
Even though I may not, He understood
That time and place would not be yours
And you would only see heaven’s door
You were fearfully and wonderfully
made.
We loved the thought of you
while you were in my womb
I am sorry, little one, that my womb became your tomb.
You were fearfully and wonderfully
made.
May you rest in perfect peace.
May you enjoy from this world, release
and may you recognize those who gave you life
Someday in Paradise
for you were fearfully and wonderfully
made.

May your baby's memory be eternal.Love, Cindy Zimmerman
