I hope all my fellow mama’s who have lost their baby have been able to see & feel the blessings from your community around you. Whether that is family, friends, colleagues, neighbors, etc. I can’t tell you how thankful I am for each & every person that has stepped up to do something, help, give a gift, or just sit down to talk with me about Maisie. I hope to highlight some of these treasured times as I go forward documenting this walk… because much of it occurred before or as I started blogging/social media. So I have some catching up to do. But I wanted to start with yesterday.
My #BSF Group Leader from 3 years ago asked to come over with some cookies (which are seriously some of the best) & a little gift. Mama Beth is the sweetest soul. The last time she was at my house was when she brought us a meal after Lachlan was born & she stayed to visit & meet our new little buddy. I was looking forward to seeing her, since BSF hasn’t been in person this year, our paths haven’t crossed in a while. So she came over & I was so happy she asked to come in for a bit, because I figured she would want to (so did I) & that is what I planned for! It was great to just sit on the couch & catch up on each others lives… we chatted about her daughter recently getting engaged & all the fun that comes along with that chapter of life. And of course I got to talk about Maisie. As she left she told me how she could already tell I was using Maisie’s life as a ministry. Ah, what a wonderful comment to receive. And, actually, what a good word! I am partial to anything M so I can alliterate with Maisie. And that was a word that hadn’t come to mind, but does accurately describe one of the byproducts of Maisie & how God is using this for good through me. Wow, I never thought I was cool enough for God to use me. And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.
