Emmie....
Look how much God loves you ...
From the very start
He filled you up with so much love
It broke your little heart.
And the doctors they do all they can
While gathered round your bed ...
They want to heal your broken heart
But you healed theirs instead.
And they'd give anything & everything
To just trade hearts with you ...
The only problem is
Their hearts are broken too
But you've shown them what broken hearts can do.
And look how much God loves us
He sent you to our world
A message He's still in control
Sent through this little girl.
And although we do not understand
Why you suffer so much pain ...
He reminds us of His only Son
And how He raised Him up again.
And He gave anything and everything
To just trade hearts with you ...
The only problem was
His heart was broken too
But He showed us what broken hearts can do.
Look how much we love Him ...
We trust Him with our soul
For He will take our broken hearts
And He will make them whole.
And the only thing He asks of us
Is to give our hearts away ...
Teaching others how to love the Lord
To glorify and pray.
And we'll give anything and everything
To just trade hearts with you ...
The only problem is
Our hearts were broken too
But He showed us what broken hearts can do.

The Brave Little Soul
Not too long ago in Heaven there was a little soul who took wonder in observing the world. She especially enjoyed the love she saw there and often expressed this joy with God. One day however the little soul was sad, for on this day she saw suffering in the world. She approached God and sadly asked, "Why do bad things happen; why is there suffering in the world?"
God paused for a moment and replied, "Little soul, do not be sad, for the suffering you see, unlocks the love in people’s hearts." The little soul was confused. "What do you mean," she asked." God replied, "Have you not noticed the goodness and love that is the offspring of that suffering? Look at how people come together, drop their differences and show their love and compassion for those who suffer. All their other motivations disappear and they become motivated by love alone."
The little soul began to understand and listened attentively as God continued, "The suffering soul unlocks the love in people’s hearts much like the sun and the rain unlock the flower within the seed. I created everyone with endless love in their heart, but unfortunately most people keep it locked up and hardly share it with anyone. They are afraid to let their love shine freely, because they are afraid of being hurt. But a suffering soul unlocks that love. I tell you this - it is the greatest miracle of all. Many souls have bravely chosen to go into the world and suffer - to unlock this love – to create this miracle - for the good of all humanity."
Just then the little soul got a wonderful idea and could hardly contain herself. With her wings fluttering, bouncing up and down, the little soul excitedly replied, "I am brave; let me go! I would like to go into the world and suffer so that I can unlock the goodness and love in people’s hearts! I want to create that miracle!" God smiled and said, "You are a brave soul I know, and thus I will grant your request.
But even though you are very brave you will not be able to do this alone. I have known since the beginning of time that you would ask for this and so I have carefully selected many souls to care for you on your journey. Those souls will help you create your miracle; however they will also share in your suffering. Some of these souls are most special and will care for you, help you and suffer along with you, far beyond the others. They have already chosen a name for you........EMMIE."
God and the brave little soul shared a smile, and then embraced. In parting, God said, "Do not forget little soul that I will be with you always. Although you have agreed to bear the pain, you will do so through my strength. And if the time should come when you feel that you have suffered enough, just say the word, think the thought, and you will be brought back to heaven."

Emmie's Poem ...
Written by Kira,
Emmie's oldest sister
It's a joy to see you smile,
To be with you every day,
To hear you laugh
Because we thought we never would again.
To hear you say my name,
To watch you play ...
It's a joy to have you with us, Emmie
We love you !
Love, Kira

Before You Came ....
Written by Kira,
Emmie's oldest Sister
Before you came
we thought about you
Before you came
we cried about you
Before you came
we wondered if you'd like us
or if it would take time.
Before you came
there was one less smile
in this house.
Before you came
we dreamed about you
Before you came
we knew you were
dreaming about us too.
Before you came
there was less happiness
Before you came
we were not a whole family.
Before you came.

"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord.
"Plans to prosper you and not to harm you,
to give you a hope and a future."

Heaven's Special Child
A meeting was held quite far from earth,
It's time again for another birth.
Said angels to the Lord above,
This special child will need much love.
Her progress may be very slow,
Accomplishments she may not show,
And she'll require extra care
From the folks she meets down there.
She may not run or laugh or play,
Her thoughts may seem quite far away.
In many ways she won't adapt,
And she'll be known as handicapped.
So let's be careful where she's sent,
We want her life to be content.
Please Lord find the mother who
Will do a special job for You.
She may not realize it right away,
The leading role she's asked to play,
But with this child sent from above,
Comes stronger faith and richer love.
And soon she'll know the priveledge given
In caring for her gift from Heaven.
Her precious charge, so meek and mild,
Is Heaven's Very Special Child.

Be joyful always. Pray continually. Give thanks in all circumstances,

For you created my inmost being;
You knit me together in my mother's womb.
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
Your works are wonderful,
I know that full well.
My frame was not hidden from you
When I was made in the secret place.
When I was woven together in the depths of the earth,
Your eyes saw my unformed body.
All the days ordained for me
Were written in your book
Before one of them came to be.
How precious to me are your thoughts, O God!
How vast is the sum of them!
Were I to count them,
They would outnumber the grains of sand.
When I awake,
I am still with you.

~ Psalm 139: 13-18
