Email and poem from Brian Morgan- pastor

Valerie,

Your email touched me.
One day Elijah will descend from the upper room
holding your daughter in his arms,
and will say,
"Woman, behold your daughter."
In that day, she will no longer be called Mara,
but as you say,
"Sweet Mara... for the bitterness of death,
has made your faith sweeter than the honeycomb."



Blessings,
Brian

Mara Faith

A few weeks ago, Bob and I finally were able to sit down and decide on the name of our daughter. Mara Faith is her name.

Mara means "sad" or "bitter" in Hebrew.

Faith because our faith was tested in yet has grown out of this experience. And we have faith that God can bless us with another baby in the future.

I am happy to be able to call her by name when I think of her. I look forward to calling her by name when I meet her in heaven one day. I am sad that I will have to wait until then to meet her. But she is in the better place. One day I will meet her in paradise.
