The front of the card reads:
In Memory.
"Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid... for the LORD they God... will not fail thee, nor forsake thee." Deuteronomy 31:6
Inside along with a beautiful note, the card also reads:
In Memory of:
Baby Hobbs
One
Gideon-Placed Bible is being provided by the H's.
(The sender of this card made a donation to The Gideons International in the name of Baby Hobbs)
.....
I'm amazed.
I'm so touched.
NOTHING so far has touched me like this.
Laura and Mike, my soon to be family-in-law, I can't thank you enough for this gift.
I received this beautiful card yesterday in the mail and I just cried. Oh I cried and cried. Good tears... ;) ...I kept thinking about all the "WHY"s I'd been shouting in my head. God knew. I find some comfort thinking that someone out there in the world will receive this Bible with the words "Baby Hobbs" in it. They might not know that it means Baby Hobbs is gone, they might not be able to read his name, but they'll get that Bible. Someone in the world will have the gospel of Jesus Christ in their hands because of Mike and Laura's love and compassion... because our baby went to see his Savior. Someone may come to know Christ Jesus as Lord over all because of our baby. I will be praying for this someone daily. I will be lifting up this nameless, faceless precious one who may know Christ at this cost. God already knows who it is. ... I'm so moved. I'm so touched. Laura and Mike, this has blessed me and Jamie so much. You may never fully understand or be aware of the great joy and treasure your generous gift was. Thank you. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.
