Emily Dickinson poem "Not in Vain" has always spoke to me.
(1886) by Emily Dickinson If I can stop one heart from breaking, I shall not live in vain: If I can ease one life the aching, Or cool one pain, Or help one fainting robin Unto his nest again, I shall not live in vain.
I think of it when I make and pray over these items for the hospital nursery. These item are for the precious little ones that go to heaven way to soon.
I do like making the gowns, hoping that it will ease the pain a little, Just to know that someone, somewhere cares.
Request from the hospital, also needed are items for babies to fragile to handle.
so I made a few of those.
Tiny blankets
The size of the blankets range from 6" to 10". I will make a few larger blankets..
I hope these bring some comfort to the broken hearts. Just making them helps my heart heal.
Nonie, Those are so very sweet. Kind of you to help others too. When my twins were born, a friend of ours was having her baby the same time.. Her little baby did not make it but a few hours and she brought me the little gown she was going to take her baby home in. Broke my heart for her. You know a few years later she had twins too. God is good, even when our hearts hurt. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
ReplyDeleteSusie, what a sweet story. God is indeed good.
DeleteGod bless you for your kindness and love. I know you touch many hearts with these gifts.
ReplyDeleteI do hope it helps a broken heart
DeleteI have been thinking about doing the same thing, Nonie. We have had miscarriages in our family and I know how precious those items are to those suffering the loss of an angel baby.
ReplyDeleteGod bless you. You are such a good soul. xo Diana
Thank you.
ReplyDeleteDiana, I do hope you will be able to make a few. If you need the instructions for the bunting let me know. The hospital has asked for more.
ReplyDeleteWhat a very special thing that you do, Nonie. Your precious baby gowns and blankets are dear gifts sewn with love. I like the Emily Dickinson poem also. The soft colors you chose are just right.
