'He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death, or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away'
-Revelation 21:4
Piper we will never forget many things about you, but especially your gorgeous eyes!
Kevin and I at Kari and Jordan's house after Piper's celebration service with the Staples family. It was a beautiful day.
Us with Piper and Peyton last August.
We wore and still wear lots of PINK for Piper. Even Klaire;)
I would like to share a song with you that has touched me especially during this time.

We pray for blessings, we pray for peace.
Comfort for family, protection while we sleep.
We pray for healing, prosperity.
We pray for Your mighty hand to ease our suffering.
All the while, You hear each spoken need.
Your love is way too much to give us lesser things.
Cause what if your blessings come through raindrops?
What if your healing comes through tears?
What if a thousand sleepless nights are what it takes to know You're near?
What if trials of this night, are Your mercies in disguise?
We pray for wisdom, Your voice to hear.
We cry in anger when we cannot feel You near.
We doubt Your goodness, we doubt Your love.
As if every promise from Your word is not enough.
All, the while, You hear each desperate plea.
And long that we'd have faith to believe.
Cause what if your blessings come through raindrops?
What if your healing comes through tears?
What if a thousand sleepless nights are what it takes to know You're near?
What if trials of this night, are Your mercies in disguise?
When friends betray us, when darkness seems to win;
We know that pain reminds this heart, that this is not, this is not our home.
It's not our home.
Cause what if your blessings come through raindrops?
What if your healing comes through tears?
What if a thousand sleepless nights are what it takes to know You're near?
What if my greatest disappointments, or the aching of this life;
Is a revealing of greater thirst that a world can't satisfy?
And what if trials of this life, the rain, the storms, the hardest nights;
Are Your mercies in disguise?
I would like to share a song with you that has touched me especially during this time.

I encourage you to read Kari and Jordan's blog to learn more about their experience. I pray that you are blessed through the sharing of their faith and courage during a time of great challenge and sadness.
