Jeremiah Sulhoff

"God will uplift"

On 28 April 2009, Jeremiah was born into the hands of God. Five days later a very small gathering of family members honored this tiny life during a short graveside funeral in Montgomery, Alabama. We never really knew him or his desires or his talents. But we know this, God did. Psalm 139 and Jeremiah 1 remind us that God is aware of our innermost being even before we are born. Although we mourn our loss, we can rejoice in His gain. Jeremiah lived a life short of the usual selfish desires and temptations that plague all of us. Yet we still recognize that he was also saved by grace and not by any work of his own. He received the inheritance of sin through me and Rachel and nothing can change that. But he also was received by the Lord as the Bible promises those little ones a place in heaven.

I'm saddened deeply that I was not with Rachel and the kids during this difficult time. God still provided though, in the way of family and friends at my work, our church, and in nearby Atlanta. Thank you for being there for her and the kids. Thank you for being there for Jeremiah. Thank you for answering His call.

In Him,
David
