A Different Kind of Storm

On October 31, 2011, my grand niece, Eva Rose, age 3, passed away in her sleep.  I cannot express my feelings of sorrow, pain and grief at the loss of this precious, tiny dancer.  I join together with all who loved Eva to express my sympathies to Eva's Mother, my niece Janelle, and to Eva's Grandmother, my sister, Gina, and to our family and friends who loved Eva Rose.  I have no words to express comfort to everyone, so I will borrow from the Word of our Healer, Jehovah Rapha:

The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. (Psalm 34:18)

The Sovereign LORD will wipe away the tears from all faces. (Isaiah 25:8)

He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds. (Psalm 147:3)

Surely he took up our infirmities and carried our sorrows. (Isaiah 53:4)

My soul is weary with sorrow; strengthen me according to your word. (Psalm 119:28)

Death is the destiny of every man; the living should take this to heart. (Ecclesiastes 7:2)

I thank God for His word and promises.  I don't know where I would be without Him. 

He is my shelter in the storm, rest in strife, calm in the fury, cover in the rain. 

Comfort is knowing God's love and Jesus's love for children and that Eva is with Him tonight. 

Holy, Holy, Holy is our Lord God Almighty, Most High God.  The God who fills the universe, He cares for all of us.

Rest, little Eva.  You are no longer in pain. I thank God for the time we had together.  Your life was short, but full and you were full of love.  Thank you, Abba.  Thank you, Jesus.
