What beautiful pictures of sweet Weston.
I miss Weston so much, too. I want to share with you the verses that I have focused on today.
I remember my affliction and my wandering, the bitterness and the gall. I well remember them, and my soul is downcast within me. Yet this I call to mind and therefore I have hope. Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.
~Lamentations 3: 19-23
We wait in hope for the Lord; He is our help and our shield. In him our hearts rejoice, for we trust his holy name. May your unfailing love rest upon us, O Lord, even as we put our hope in you.
~Psalm 33: 20-22
“Let the beloved of the Lord rest secure in Him, for he shields him all day long, and the one the Lord loves rests between His shoulders.”
~Deuteronomy 33: 12
I am continuously praying for you. I know that it is only by faith alone that you are able to go on. May God strengthen you, sustain you, and carry you through the days and nights.
Love In Christ,
~Tosha
I’m so sorry for your loss and your very difficult days. Please remember that God is at work overtime here with Weston. He has changed my life and helped me find the faith I have sought for so long. Today I saw a link to your blog on someone’s facebook page saying…”Please read this it WILL change your life” I emailed them to ask if they knew you or Erin. They did not. Someone had sent a post on your blog to her, and it has changed her life and she reads this blog daily now. She said she felt your message was so powerful she wanted to share it with others. That is simply amazing. It’s hard to understand why our faith has to come from your devastating loss, but please know that Weston is living on in so many of us. You and Erin are amazing and your faith is so empowering. I will continue to pray for your strength in all the upcoming days. I think of you both so often throughout the day and just stop to pray for your strength. Much love and blessings to you both.
Erin & Clay,
You don’t know me, but I know you in a way. I attend New Life. I sent a meal to your family this week. I met Weston in church on Sunday, September 14th while my husband and I were serving in the 1’s class at church. I also attended the service for Weston at New Life on Saturday, September 20th.
I want you both to know that I was moved by Weston’s story, but also by you. What more beautiful example could we have been given than you and Erin? I was uplifted as you stood to rejoice at the choir’s singing. I was in tears with grief, but thankful to God that I was there with you. I felt I was challenged by God to put myself in your position. I questioned whether I would have such unmoveable faith. You are a beacon of light, and example, for all parents. No one with children – whether yound or old – knows if their children will be called to God before they are ready. But I feel that you and Erin are an example of grief and acceptance. I pray that I could have as much faith and trust in God as I live my life each day. May God continue to bless you and ease your immeasurable suffering. I think of you each day, and my prayers are with you.
I love you two. Know that you are on my mind every day and we too miss Weston.
Your brother, Steve
