October 15

October 15 is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Rememberance Day. This includes all babies that have died from miscarriage, stillbirth, SIDS or any infant death. As a way of remembering, everyone is asked to light a candle at 7 pm tonight and leave it burning for an hour. This will create a "wave of light" all over the world in rememberance of all the babies that we have lost. You can check out more information on this website, http://www.october15th.com/


I ask all of you today to please light a candle in rememberance of Brooke, Alexcyn and all the babies that I am mentioning this month in my blog.



Candles - Written by Tim Russell, Kokomo, IN

On streets of gold, walk many children with candles all aglow.
Happy faces, shining smiles, but there is one that stands alone.
Oh and when asked to join the others she just smiles at them and says
I cannot keep my candle lit from the tears from my mothers eyes.
For my mother is now weeping just for me.
Although she does not understand that I'm living in this promised land
Where my candle's light can take away her tears.
Oh sometimes it seems so lonely, in our hearts we seem so sad,
From a loss of our precious loved ones and the memories that we have,
Oh but keep your eyes on their lights, let their candle shine so bright.
For they cannot keep their candles lit, from the tears that we shed,
So remember that they're living in His love.
As Jesus walks with them, let their life shine within,
And their candles light can take away all our tears....
