Twas the night before Christmas and all through our home-
People were sleeping! I was finally alone!
I’ve wrapped and I’ve cooked and I’ve tried to be sweet,
I’ve had to “let go” of the house looking neat.
Turkey’s in the oven and breakfast’s in a big pot,
But Betty Crocker is someone I’m definitely NOT!
So, I’ll be relieved when the meal is all done,
And pray from the table my kids do not run.
Then off to the hospital to deliver baskets we’ll go.
We want the kids who are sick (and their parents) to know-
That Christmas is all about sharing God’s love.
The only true Hope comes from looking above.
Above all our problems. Above all our fears.
There’s a Father Who sees and Who counts all our tears.
Above all our worries. Above all our pain.
There’s a Savior Who promises to come back again!
So, good night my dear friends! The sleep I can’t fight.
Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night.
Loving all of you!
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!

Hi Tammy,
I came here from Melanie’s blog.
Just wanted to say hello and let you know I’m thinking about you and all the others who have lost a child. I truly have no words and cannot imagine.
I love what you wrote on one of your posts:
“Christmas just doesn’t get any easier, but Heaven does get closer.”
I’m rejoicing with you and Melanie (and others) today that praise God we will all meet again one day and what a day of rejoicing that will be when we see Jesus & all our loved ones.
Merry Christmas!
Love,
Valerie
Merry Christmas Tammy!!!! Thinking of you…
Keep working ,great job!
THE DIFFRENCE
I got up early one morning
and rushed right into the day;
I had so much to accomplish that
I didn’t have time to pray.
Problems just tumbled about me,
and heavier came each task.
“Why doesn’t God help me?” I wondered.
He answered, “You didn’t ask.”
I wanted to see joy and beauty,
but the day toiled on, gray and bleak;
I wondered why God didn’t show me,
He said, “But you didn’t seek.”
I tried to come into God’s presence;
I used all my keys at the lock.
God gently and lovingly chided,
“My child, you didn’t knock.”
I woke up early this morning,
and paused before entering the day;
I had so much to accomplish that
I had to take time to pray.
JESUS, is the reason for what i`m so happy on this earth ,….without HIM i`m nothing !
love you Tammy !!
