A Momma's Plea

I know several of my blog reader friends have had their pictures made recently by Jen at At First Sight Photography. Awhile back, Jen posted an "In Memory of" post on her blog of an 18 month old boy she had photographed that passed away on Christmas Eve. At school today, a fellow teacher sent out a prayer request for one of her best friends who had just lost her baby boy on Christmas Eve and it was the same baby Jen had photographed. Small world, huh? Anyway, I just want as many people as possible praying for this sweet family. I may not know them personally, but as a momma, my heart absolutely breaks for them. Click here to check out Ashley's (Webb's momma) blog. After reading her post today, I wanted to do nothing more than rush home and cradle my kids. Satan knows exactly how to attack me, and all day today I've been bombarded with thoughts of what I would do if this were to happen to us. I just don't know. I pray that during circumstances like that, I would run to the One that holds me in the palm of His hand. But, in my human heart, I know that would be tough. Once you've experienced holding your child in your arms for even half a second, you don't ever want to let them go. It's a love unlike anything I ever thought possible, definitely a love that a few words on a blog post could never encompass. But, please, join me in praying for the Broach family. I know they need it.
