99 Balloons

I saw this video posted by a friend and it was so moving that I had to post it on my blog. This video is a reminder to all of us that our children are on loan to us. They are not our possessions and we do  not own them.  They belong to God and we are entrusted by God to take care of them for a short while. This little boy was born with significant health issues and as you can see in this video this little boy was well loved by everyone who came in contact with him.  As parents we must lean into our grief and ask God to guide us on our grief journey.  We may cry many gallons of tears, but in time God will make us whole again.

The hope we have in Christ is that one day we will see our loved one again.  When we see them we will finally understand.  When we experience our loved one in their brand new body running on the streets of heaven we will understand why things happened the way they did.
