Although Saturday “felt” like the anniversary of Nick going Home because we said our goodbyes to Nick on the Saturday after Thanksgiving in 2008, today is officially Nick’s birthday in Heaven.
As I got online quickly this morning to print out my lesson plans for the week, I smiled when I read KLove’s verse for the day in my email inbox and knew that I couldn’t keep this promise from God’s Word to myself this morning.
The Lord is a shelter for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble.
~ Psalm 9:9
If you find yourself this morning needing a shelter or place of refuge, please know that God is with you longing to be just that………………………
He has never failed me.
He is my Comforter.
Although death is in escapable part of life, God truly is a Healer…………………….
He brings complete physical healing in Heaven.
He longs to heal hearts here on earth.
Praying that today you can sense His healing touch as you turn to Him for shelter and praying that you can smile today at the thought of Nick celebrating in the presence of God………oh to witness that smile!
In December of 2007 as our youngest son, Nick, was fighting brain cancer, I began to blog. Writing provided a way for me to release all of my questions, fears, and doubts. It also allowed me to share the ups and downs of Nick's journey with people who were praying for him all over the world. When Nick went Home in November of 2008, my blog became my way of searching for God in the midst of my deep heartache. My heart was broken and grief brought to the surface every emotion imaginable. Being able to release those emotions through my writing brought a sense of purpose to my pain. Having already walked the road of grief in 1992 when we lost our daughter to SIDS, I knew I needed a way to keep from falling into a pit of depression and despair. I had walked close to the edge of a bottomless pit when we lost our daughter,and I knew I couldn't let myself get that close to the edge again. This blog has been and continues to be my tiny corner of the world where I can share My Heart as I journey through God's Word.......thus the name........ My Heart His Words. Thank you for taking time to share life with me. If we do not meet while here on earth, I look forward to hearing all about your life when we reach our final destiny.........Heaven! Email me anytime at 
I closed my eyes and I saw it.
Thanks for praying for me.
Dear Friend,
Praying you feel our Heavenly Father’s arms around you and your family today as you remember the fun times with Nick, you are able to smile.
Celebrating in the presence of our Lord, we can only imagine!
love you much,

Happy Heaven Birthday, Nick!! Sending you an extra long hug this evening…praying God held you close today as well.
Praying for you and your family.
I’ve missed stopping by. So glad I did tonight.
I can’t wait to meet your Nick. I want to thank him for that sweet smile that melts my heart.
For being so brave and fighting so hard.
For teaching me what it means to truly trust Jesus with all of my heart.
And I want to thank YOU for sharing your son with us.
My life is changed because you did.
Love you Tammy♥
Dear Tammy,
I logged on here to tell you I was thinking of you on Nick’s birthday and to let you know I’ve been lifting your family in prayer for the past few days. Just saw your family pictures taken at your mom’s house. Your family is growing! Everyone looks so beautiful! May God bless you and your family as we are led up to the celebration of our Saviour’s birthday. Love and hugs all around at your house from me, Rita PS Give your mom a hug for me too!
Hugging all of you in my heart.
Blessed to share life with so many wonderful people and anxious for the day when we spend eternity together……
No need for blogs in Heaven…..
We’ll be together forever!
Love you all,
Tammy 🙂
