Sweet Caroline

FROM MY DEAR FRIEND, JESSICA...

Today marks one year since I delivered Sweet Caroline. My sweet friend, Emily, from blogger land, sent me this today. Our babies were born 3 months apart, exactly. She is an amazing writer. Won't you say this prayer with me today? Thank you all for your ongoing support and prayers this last year.

Much love,
Jessica

Dear Lord,

I pray you let this day be gentle to Jessica's heart. I pray sweet Caroline be able to look down and see her parents today, on her very first birthday. Oh God, we do not understand your ways... and yet we trust them. We praise you for this beautiful baby girl and the incredible legacy she left behind. We pray you continue to use her life and her story to draw others to you. Oh Lord, be with her baby sister or brother today. Let him or her remind Jessica that hope awaits and it rests in your hand. Thank you, Lord, for Caroline Klug and all she brought to our world.

And thank you, sweet Caroline, for living your life so well and for helping to make your mommy as special as she is. We praise God for you today, Birthday Girl.

Amen
