Glory Baby Performed by Watermark on their CD entitled All Things New Glory baby, you slipped away as fast as we could say baby, baby You were growing, what happened, dear, you disappeared on us baby, baby Heaven will hold you before we do Heaven will keep you safe until we're home with you Until we're home with you Chorus Miss you every day Miss you in every way But we know there's a day when we will hold you We will hold you And you'll kiss our tears away When we're home to stay Can't wait for the day When we will see you, we will see you But baby let sweet Jesus hold you 'Till Mom and Dad can hold you You'll just have heaven before we do You'll just have heaven before we do Before we do Sweet little babies It's hard to understand it 'cause we're hurting We are hurting But there is healing And we know we're stronger people through the growing And in knowing That all things will work together for our good And God works His purposes, just like He said He would Just like He said He would Chorus I can't imagine heaven's lullabies and what they must sound like But I'll rest in knowing that heaven is your home And it's all you'll ever know All you'll ever know |
Taken from the safety of the womb to the loving arms of God |
Excitement built in our home as we looked forward to the births of Jonathan and Katie. We prayed for our babies at every meal and chose names and made plans, but for some reason -- far beyond our scope of understanding -- God called our little ones home before we had the chance to meet them. We are comforted just knowing that they are being cradled by God and that they only ever knew the bliss of being in the womb and moving to heaven. What a joyous thought! We look forward to joining them one day in heaven where they wait for us as we waited for them. ** We chose the name Jonathan because it means "God gave" and we believe He did give us this little one, although briefly. The name Michael means "one who is like God". Who but a child, yet to be born into this sinful world, can be closer to God? Of course it was too early to be sure of his gender, but it just feels right to us to give him a name so he will never be forgotten... ** We chose Katie's name before she was even conceived. God showed me that we would have a daughter named Katie and soon after, we discovered we were expecting. Catherine means "Pure" which is another perfect name for a baby not yet born into sin. Her middle name, Faith was chosen because our Faith was strengthened as we trusted the omnipotent God in the days prior to her passing |

In Loving Memory of our children Jonathan Michael Pasterik cradled in the arms of God August 10, 2001 and Catherine Faith Pasterik Birthed into eternity on November 29, 2003 |
My Dear Sweet Baby, Today is the day you were supposed to be born. I wish we could hold you in our arms today and hear your little whimpers. I wish we could take one breath of that precious newborn smell and feel your sweet baby breath on our faces. I wish I could look deep into your eyes and know without words that you love me as much as I love you! We are so sad that you won't be joining us here on Earth, but we are looking forward to the day when we can join you there in heaven. Papaw says that heaven is a sweeter place because you are there and that makes us want to go to heaven that much more. Please know that Mommy and Daddy and the whole family love you very much and we miss you! Please watch over us from up above. We will never forget you! With all my love, Mommy |
