Labor Of My Heart I would have given anything
to be the one to know
the pain of bringing you into this world
but it couldn't be ...
Though I did not bring you here
still I labored in my tears
through the long nights I prayed
you would come to me ...
You are the labor of my heart Child,
you are the labor of my heart
with all my strength I prayed
till they laid you in my arms Child,
you are the labor of my heart ...
Blessed be the maker
of bone of other bone.
He made flesh of my desire
and today I take you home...
You are the labor of my heart Child,
you are the labor of my heart
with all my strength I prayed
till they laid you in my arms Child,
you are the labor of my heart Child,
you are the labor of my heart...

Thanks so much for visiting us during our journey, Charlie, Kathy, Grace and Hope!
For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD," plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Jeremiah 29:11 NIV
Hope
Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;
in all your ways acknowledge him,
and he will make your paths straight.
