Sorry I haven't posted in a while.We've been busy. Now Joshua:
Joshua Alan Nice was born June 3 and went to heaven June 5.
Those were two very blessed days, full of tears, hugs, love, and kindness.
They were eye-openers. This is how the story goes.
Crista was having contraction on the 2nd they were small but she called the midwife any-way. The mid-wife said to come in when the contractions were 2-3 minutes apart. Crista waited then went in when the mid-wife had ordered. The mid-wife checked her over and said to go home and relax until things were more serious. This was Tuesday. We were sent over to grandmas house when mom got the call that crista was having contractions that morning, and when she heard that crista was going home to relax decided not to pick us up because she might have to drop us off at any time and that would be a hassle. Later that night mom picked us up and we went home, went to sleep and was awoken at 2:00 a.m. by mom telling us to get ready to go to Grandmas because crista was having hard contractions so mom took us to Grandmas. At about 12:30 p.m. mom called and said the contractions were very hard and she'd call when baby was born. Half-an-hour later she called and franticly told grandma to pray because the baby wasn't breathing. Long-story-short they think somthing happened to the baby at the end of the birth because his PH level had changed. they put him on life support. Two days later they took him off his life support and he was sent to heaven.
During those two days lots of thing were found.
We relized to the fullest how amazing Matthew is and how much he loves his dear wife. We've seen how strong and faithfilled Crista is. He opened many peoples eyes. And just like Joshua in the bible called out alot of people on they're faith.
Joshua Alan Nice was a meracle and a blessing.
He had the nose of Crista. The lips from Matthew, and the cleff in his chin was my daddy's.
He was a amazing child, and we LOVE him.
Pictures coming soon...
Sarah ~ We have been praying for your family and will continue to do so. We were so sorry to hear about little Joshua. Thanks for sharing the story. This has been a real growing time for your family. ((hugs))
ReplyDeleteSarah- I am so, so sorry for your loss.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful aunt you would have been to little Joshua. Playing with him, helping to feed and take care of him for his mommy. Reading to him as he grew and praying for him. I know because I have seen you read to, play with, and pray for everyone else-- your brother, your sisters, your friends and grandma.
You are a strong support to your mother, thank you for that (God bless you for it) and to Hannah- to Crista and Matthew.
You have a wonderful tender heart- so willing to give and love and bless others.
You amaze me!!!
God bless Sarah- bless her with grace and inner beauty that surpasses all others- for the person she is, and the person you are creating in her with each decision she makes.
What a delight you are to the Lord.
I love you & Joshua loved you too. I remember him moving in his mommy’s tummy-- I know he could hear us then- I think he really liked your voice and the way you would talk to him sometimes. :0)
Blessings all over you sweetie pie.
So Joshua told the Israelites, “Come and listen to what the LORD your God says. Today you will know that the living God is among you.
Then Moses called for Joshua, and as all Israel watched, he said to him, “Be strong and courageous! For you will lead these people into the land that the Lord swore to their ancestors…
Then the Lord commissioned Joshua son of Nun with these words: “Be strong and courageous, for you must bring the people of Israel into the land I swore to give them. I will be with you.”
“Don’t ever be afraid or discouraged,” Joshua told his men. “Be strong and courageous, for the Lord is going to do this…
Dearest Sarah~
