Blessed be your name
When the sun's shining down on me
When the world's all as it should be
Blessed be your name
Blessed be your name
On the road marked with suffering
Though there's pain in the offering
Blessed be your name
Every blessing you pour out, I turn back to praise
When the darkness closes in, Lord
Still I will say...
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be your name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be your glorious name
You give and take away
You give and take away
My heart will choose to say Lord,
Blessed be your name
We find ourselves blessing the name of the Lord these past two days as we wrestle with the sadness of losing our first little baby. We went in for a routine check-up yesterday to find the baby's heart had stopped beating. We spent the day in the hospital- Scotty and I crying, praying, and resting togeter- knowing that in all things God is good. We won't ever completely understand His reasons for taking our baby, but we continue to trust in Him and await His perfect timing for a family. We have been showered with love and prayers from our friends and family here, as well as the few at home that know. It's been one of God's gifts of mercy to us in this time to see the outpouring of love and know that we are being taken care of. We know that you all will be praying as well, and can't thank you enough. We enjoyed being parents for a few short months and look forward to doing it again.

Oh Scotty and Lisa, I'm SO sorry!!!! I know this is hard, hard news!! And your response is a glorifying, God honoring response even in the wrestling - you are blessing His Name! What a GRACE!!!!
We WILL pray for you as you heal physically and emotionally.
with much love!!!
Oh Scotty and Lisa! How we know what you are going through! I've been praying since I heard this evening and will continue to do so. God is gracious and merciful. We hold on to His sovereignty alone. However, we still grieve.
Lisa - I did get your email last week. We've had company for 2 solid weeks and I just haven't made the time to sit at the computer and write you back. I will make sure to make time tomorrow.
We love you so much and are lifting you up in prayer!
I'm so very sorry to hear about the loss of your little one. Though I cannot empathize on personal experience, I can imagine the pain you must feel. I'll be praying for you both.
I'm so sorry guys. We love you. We'll continue to pray...
Be still, my soul: when dearest ones depart,
And all is darkened in the vale of tears,
Then shalt thou better know His love, His heart,
Who comes to soothe thy sorrow and thy fears.
Be still, my soul: thy Jesus can repay
From His own fullness all He takes away.

We are praying for you and for God's abiding comfort in your hearts as you grieve the loss of this precious little one - known only a little to you but formed and known fully by our Father.
With love in Him,
Beth and Coty
