A Promised Child.
I’ll tell you the story about true love -
Love from here,
And love from up above.
Our little family of three was happy you see,
But we wanted one more to fill our family tree.
Try as we might, it wasn’t our turn.
The doctor said mommy had some health concerns -
It could be months,
if at all …
But that simply wasn’t the doc’s call.
Daddy was happy and patient as could be,
but mommy was broken, lost and hurt
wishing for the day you would come to be.
The home was happy,
but something felt incomplete.
She knew it had to be more little hands and feet.
Work was hard.
Days were long.
Her health wasn’t making any progress -
Not even a little,
Not even at all.
Time was ticking.
Her heart was yearning.
The weight of this dream was too much to carry …
She grabbed a blanket and a bible too.
She knew what she had to do …
It was time to turn it over to the big man upstairs
He can carry the load when it’s too much for us to bare.
When life gets hard
he always comes through,
and she knew he would this time too!
She sat and prayed and enjoyed the spring air.
She hoped and dreamed and asked for guidance from way up there.
She promised obedience and he promised love.
He gave her a new heart straight from up above.
He gave her heart a new mission to lead,
To share God’s love for all people to see.
She told daddy she was quitting her job to stay true,
and he thought, “Woah! This is out of the blue!”
But in accordance with God’s great plan,
he supported her and held her hand.
The next trip to the doctor wasn’t as sad,
she knew God had a greater plan.
Hope was not lost,
Trust was put in him,
… and everything in life started to feel bright again!
Then one morning mommy was very sick -
So she decided to pee pee on a little stick.
She had her doubts but in her heart she knew…
God had kept his promises too.
That’s the day we found out about you!
a blessed baby from promises
from me ..
… to God …
for you!
I love you my child with all my heart!
You are a perfect piece of art.
Hand crafted from the father above,
Stitched with strength, mercy and love.
You’re ordained my child from the very start,
You beat the odds and the medical charts!
With a start like this it’s clear to see …
you’ll do great works and share his love,
I can’t wait to learn what he calls you to be!
Surely we will give glory to God up above
So rest your weary eyes,
And take a little nap.
Count the stars,
And lay your head back.
When the sun rises,
We’ll sing his praises again …
For you my child have Godly work to begin.
As you slumber in and shut your eyes
I praise my father in the sky.
He filled our family and our hearts.
You were our missing part!
He healed my heart and gave me purpose.
You inspire me to keep sharing acts of his service.
I love you my child,
My sweet little one.
Oh, the wonderful disciple you’ll become!
Blessed and chosen,
Promised and given,
Raising you children is my favorite heavenly mission.
We Love you Ellis Lee Mundell!
