Paul, thank you so much for your beautiful words. And your thoughtfulness for recording this special story of Herb for posterity. Even though we were in contact via phone calls during those two weeks, your story provides the emotions, the feelings all of you were sharing together. In my heart, I know Herb is at peace now, but I know he’s proud to call you his son-in-law! And Libby is one very lucky lady to have you by her side! All our love~~ Kathy, Vic & Emma

Paul, wow that was beautiful…and I too required tissue…It was great to read and know all that happened. I have only recently came into the Warren family and I was lucky enough to meet him once. Thank you.

Paul- That was absolutely beautiful! You have a gift of writing and I think you should pursue it…. it made me ball my eyes out and laugh. I could not have said it better, and I am glad that you put this into words so that someday I can share this with my loved one and possibly my children…. we will cherish him ALWAYS

Oh, Libby, this is an authentic and beautiful expression of heart. Humans tend to look at life through a very small keyhole and think through a very narrow calculus.

When we release it all to the One Who created and sustains everything, the possibilities expand.

We love you so much.

Hey girl! Loved the post. I am delighted that you have found your peace in God. He is truly the only answer to real peace and contentment. Not the fake kind that comes and goes based on circumstances but the kind that Paul talks about in Philippians 4. Learning to be content in all circumstances. God is in control of our lives. There is peace and rest in knowing, really knowing, that someone who is bigger, stronger and wiser is taking care of all my business. And I can just hide myself in Him. I know it sounds like I have this mastered….ha. Far from it. This is just as much a pep talk to myself as it is to you!! As you know I waited 6+ years for my second bundle of joy. Fertility and marriage issues led to years of hopelessness and discouragement. I had plans and they weren’t working out. God had better plans. I look back at my life now and KNOW that this timing was way better and can see all the complications that would have been if we had had another baby or two when I wanted. Just remember…He sees the big picture our lives. We don’t. You know that! Keep on keepin’ on!! Love you Lib and I am so delighted that you are my sister in Christ!

Much love and care,
Mare

Libby, this was a wonderful post. I think the hardest thing we do being human is thinking WE are in control. Now granted, we control what our actions are…but in the grand scheme of things, I believe there definitely is a plan. Then, when things don’t work our way, we question why, have doubts, and lose hope. Sorry, this is going to be a long comment, but I found a quote once that helped me get through a really hard time and just feel impressed to share it….’Should all prayers be answered according to our own desires and our limited understanding, then there would be little or no suffering, sorrow, disappointment, or even death, and if these things were not, there would also be no joy, success, or eternal life. Being human, we would expel from our lives physical pain and mental anguish and assure ourselves of continual ease and comfort, but if we were to close the doors upon sorrow and distress, we might be excluding our greatest friends and benefactors. Suffering can make saints of people as they learn patience, long-suffering, and self-mastery.’

Just by reading what you wrote, is truly inspiring, and I appreciate you willing to share something that I’m sure is extremely difficult. You are in my thoughts and I wish great things for you. I’m so glad you have a good man to stand by you.

I, too, had tears. I appreciate your openess for all to see where you are and be able to pray for you. I’ve hoped for an annoucement by Christmas, but if not we will just wait for God’s timing. Even if you do adopt it will be YOURS and you will never regret it. So, Mawmaw or Nana (please don’t come up with another name for me!! ) will love a child regardless. I love you both very much.

This entry stung my eyes with tears as I read it. I long to see you all become parents and I am honored to walk the journey with you. I commit to stand with you in prayer – and conversation – until the Lord provides you with a child…then even more conversations and prayers begin! I love you both.
