An answer to prayer!

About a month ago, we finally ordered a tombstone for Samuel. It was through a friend and he gave it to us for less than cost. He said that it would take a good month to get here. When I did the math, it was not going to get here by the anniversary of Samuel's home going. So I have been praying that it could somehow get here before this weekend. I was just thinking it would be hard to go to the cemetery without something to look at and remember our little one by.

Well, the Lord is so good and it came in today! He truly answers prayer. Thank you for those who prayed that this would come, it means so much. Here is a picture of the stone.
