National Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day

We find comfort in the sovereignty of God. There is no lost potential, no purpose unaccomplished; there is only the glorious plan of God perfectly fulfilled in a precious little life" ~Author unknown





We all know someone, or several someones, who have lost a little one through miscarriage, stillbirth or infant loss.


Today is a good day to let them know you remember.

"Some people make the sky more beautiful to gaze upon. They stay in our life for only a short while, leave footprints on our hearts, and we are never, ever the same."

These are just a few of the little ones I am remembering today. I know many more loved ones who have suffered miscarriage, stillbirth and infant loss. Sadly, there are too many to list them all. Please feel free to remember a special little one and/or their family in the comment section if you wish.



"The 'why' of so many things is known only to the heart of God, but He has told us that at all times, in all places, and in all circumstances, nothing can separate us from His love".

And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away. Revelation 21:4

Whether your loss is seasoned with the tears of many years, or if you have only recently been unwillingly taken on this journey, may you be surrounded with Peace that passes understanding and Love that knows no bounds,
