Jerome & Jasper: Abundance of Blessings

"Abundance"

Abundance
a word that came to mind clearly
when we were in Rome praying for a child fervently.
Abundance seems like an overwhelming message to receive
after struggling through the years just to conceive.
Especially during the time when we were still grieving
for the loss of our first child Raphaelle
that we asked God to help us stay strong in faith
and to never stop believing

Trust God with His plan
even though we do not understand
was a constant reminder
that our Lord plans for our welfare and not for woe
To give us a future of hope
with blessings in abundance He will bestow

A year later
we welcome Gabrielle our rainbow baby
and we rejoice and give thanks to God for
His grace and infinite mercy

Then in 2017 we got another pleasant surprise
We saw 2 flickering heartbeats during the ultrasound
and we could not believe our eyes
God had gifted us with double blessings
because this time we were expecting identical twins

The practical daddy actioned quickly
and bought a new car to fit 3 car seats
While mummy carrying the twin boys
was always tired and just want to sleep

Eventually on the 6th November
Mummy experienced the full signs of labour
Waking up Daddy and then rushing to the hospital in
the middle of the night
A very exciting start to Daddy’s birthday and
he was filled with delight

Jerome and Jasper were born that morning
Sharing the same birthday as daddy Justin
The best birthday presents for daddy
and beautiful gifts from God
bestowed upon our family

Abundance of blessings
which we now comprehend
That everything happens for a reason
And it is all part of God’s plan
