has it really been three years?

by Rachel Marie Martin

Since my Elijah Nathaniel was born?

Time goes so fast.  So fast.  Too fast.

I wish I could bottle it — these times — times of love and goodness.

They make the hard times easier. Worth it.

Elijah Nathaniel.  Meaning – gift from God and God is near.  You are our gift.  You represent healing and victory over cancer.  You are amazing.

What would we do without you?

Happy Birthday Elijah.  I love you.

Go to my FB page and listen to the song “Bottle it up.” It’s really great! And talk about time going fast…today I’ve been married 34 years…I blinked and it was just gone!
Know that you’re in my thoughts and prayers!
Romans 5:3-5 And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; And patience, experience; and experience, hope: And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.

Continuing to pray!
Romans 5:6-9 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.
