if life is a larger, later thing, what left this perfect
child-size hole? what nameless wonder wrought
such joy, such sorrow in so short a time, unseen?
tiny saint — a soul unstained by flesh and blood,
a heart too big for a bone cage — we feel your
flutter, little one, and rejoice to know a piece
of this love has found heaven.
Then war broke out in heaven; Michael and his
angels battled against the dragon. The dragon
and its angels fought back, but they did not
prevail and there was no longer any place
for them in heaven. The huge dragon,
the ancient serpent, who is called the
Devil and Satan, who deceived the whole
world, was thrown down to earth, and its
angels were thrown down with it.
— Revelation 12:7-9

Very good!
Jim, this is beautiful. I couldn't say the words when we called after we got home, but I think of Jude as our guardian angel, spending Christmas with Jesus, and waiting with open arms to welcome us when it's our time. It's nice to know that we have a little cheerleader up there, encouraging us when times are tough and rejoicing with us when times are good.
beautiful... the kids and I love you all and Jude.
Thanks Jim for the prayers.
Your writing about baby Jude was well done and a fitting tribute to the child who was human from inception!
My heartfelt prayers go out to you, Jodi, and Jude's brothers and sister!
Beautiful
Thank you for popping over!
