There are angels among us! I can home yesterday afternoon to find a package on my front door step. My first thought was that my husband was doing some more shopping on ebay or something. To my surprise, the package was for me! So I started to think…did I order something? Did I sign up for something? The package was from Caleb’s Ministries which is a Christian ministry offering help, encouragement, and hope for women experiencing infertility or loss of a baby due to miscarriage, stillbirth, early infant loss. http://www.calebministries.org/home/

So, I ripped open the package to find out who sent this gift to me. The package contained “Learning thru Loss”: ( a small group or self-guided Bible study designed to encourage the woman who has lost her baby due to miscarriage, stillbirth, early infant death or who is infertile.) and an audio CD of a mother sharing her testimony of God’s faithfulness to her….and no information about who sent it!

This is such a thoughtful gift but even more than that I was amazed at the timing of it all. Yesterday was an emotional day for me. I spent some time doing retail therapy but everywhere I went, I saw pregnant women and babies. I even found myself just browsing thru the kids section of a department store with smiles and tears. While driving home, I had a good cry and I had an awakening moment which revealed why I was so emotional. It was this time 2 years ago that our life was normal and untouched by loss…it was 2 years ago that had my 1st positive pregnancy test. We were blissfully happy! My tears were my way reflecting on the yesterdays and longing for happier tomorrows.

So, what was significant about the package? I realized that it wasn’t so much about the package but the timing & the message…I was reminded of God’s faithfulness toward me…I was reminded that nothing takes God by surprise and no matter what I will ever face, I am never alone. I believe that God places people in our lives for His purpose. I am thankful and humbled by the orchestration and strategic nature of God.

I am so sure that this gift is going to be a blessing to so many people. I intend to share the information on every occasion that I can. I co-lead a grief & loss support group in our area and I am sure that we will be able to utilize this to help other grieving parents.
