99 Balloons - God uses the weak and the small
I share a lot of stuff here, but I must say I feel PRIVILEGED to share this. Get out your hankies. You may be crying the rest of the day. This film touches something DEEP that can't be put into words:
Thanks, Spunky!

Wow. My daughter lived to be 101 days old. This makes me feel so not alone and comforted.
I hope you do not mind me linking this video.
God bless,
Alexis

That is the sweetest thing I've seen lately; I was crying by the end. He was born the same day as my precious daughter. I thank God for a happy, healthy 9.5 month old, and this reminds me to be thankful even on the rough days.

Barbara - thank you for reminding us of how very precious life is - whether it's for a day, a week, a few months, or a lifetime. It's inspirational to see how a family used the time to enjoy every moment.

I leaned back so the tears wouldn't fall on the laptop keyboard. My daughter told me about this. Thank you for sharing.
God bless you.

Wow. Absolutely awesome video.
I feel compelled to share this on my blog too. I'm going to link to your blog and also post that youtube video. I hope that's ok. I'm assuming it is, because you would probably want as many people as possible to see it.
Thanks for sharing this with us.

Absolutely beautiful. I linked too.
I wish I could find out how these young parents are doing now!

That was beautiful. Thank you for sharing. As the mother of a miracle baby, that brought back a lot of memories. More importantly, it showed how the Lord works in such wonderous ways.

Barbara,
Ive blogged with this family before. Little Eliot. Bless his soul. Arent Matt and Jennys words so fulfilling and joyful and overwhelming? Are there really words to express their faith and strength?

My 6 and 8 year old sons watched this with me. My six year old, who has profound microcephaly and is moderately mentally handicapped, cried broken-heartedly.

4/6/08 Eliot's mom and dad were at our church today. He spoke, mom was in the front row. She is 12 weeks pregnant. They asked for prayer during this pregnancy. They are doing well.
