FReeper RebelBanker's Son Died Today

[MinuteGal]

Be still my soul, the Lord is on thy side
Bear patiently the cross of grief or pain
Leave to thy God to order and provide
In every change He faithful will remain
Be still my soul, thy best, thy heavenly Friend
Through thorny ways leads to a joyful end

This is one of my favorite hymns. The words are based on the comforting text found in Psalms 46:10. The tune is an excerpt from "Finlandia" by Jean Sibelius. It's one of the most beautiful melodies in all hymnland.

My heartfelt sympathy to you and your family, dear RebelBanker.

[ButThreeLeftsDo]

Children of the heav’nly Father
Safely in His bosom gather;
Nestling bird nor star in Heaven
Such a refuge e’er was given.

God His own doth tend and nourish;
In His holy courts they flourish;
From all evil things He spares them;
In His mighty arms He bears them.

Neither life nor death shall ever
From the Lord His children sever;
Unto them His grace He showeth,
And their sorrows all He knoweth.

Though He giveth or He taketh,
God His children ne’er forsaketh;
His the loving purpose solely
To preserve them pure and holy.

I am so sorry.

I will say a special prayer tonight that your little one be welcomed into Heaven by all the angels and saints, into the arms of our Lord.

The Broken Chain

We little knew that morning
That God was going to call your name.
In life we loved you dearly,
In death we do the same.
It broke our hearts to lose you.
You did not go alone;
For part of us went with you
The day God called you home.
You left us peaceful memories
Your love is still our guide;
And though we cannot see you,
You are always at our side.
Our family chain is broken,
And nothing seems the same;
But as God calls us one by one,
The chain will link again.

So very sorry to hear this. We hold you up in prayer that you will be comforted in this most difficult time.

[rep-always]

May our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ give you the peace that surpasses all understanding. The loss of a child is the greatest grief to bear but know that he is with our Lord today singing with the angels. I will pray for you and your family. I am so sorry. God bless you abundantly.

My prayers are with you and your family. We lost my four year old niece several years ago after a long battle with illness. I have seen—up close and personally— just what you are facing.

My God comfort you.

[Vigilance]

My little angel left today

Jesus called his name

Emptiness now fills my life

Will it ever be the same

In time I’ll see my son once more

And our love will never end

But now he plays on streets of gold

Never to cry, never to hurt and never to die again

God bless and keep you and yours.

[MEG33]

Amen
