I have been thinking about my beautiful daughter Avery-Lynn lately...ALOT. True, a day does not go by when I don't think of her, but recently her memory has been almost non-stop to me. When I think of her, it is not out of self pity or mourning. It is more about hope. My kids pointed out a rainbow to me the other day and I thought about her and promises that God has given us. Before Avery, Don and I had suffered through 3 miscarriages. Then, miraculously we were pregnant with this baby that had actually made it through the first trimester! We believed that this child had a purpose in life, only we didn't know how quickly her life's purpose would be fulfilled. After we lost our daughter we held onto the hope that God does not let his promises die. I often think of this little blessing as a seed to what He had(s) in store
for us, for just a year later we saw God's promise fulfilled. We had our son. Eighteen months later-triplets (without the use of ANY fertility drugs). At this time in my life, I constantly go back to to remind myself that God does not let His promises die. At times it may seem like they were broken, but in all reality, it is just Him at work. He sees the larger picture...you NEVER know what is right around your rainbow's bend!
