MERRY CHRISTMAS, NOAH

I saw somewhere on Facebook that there was a young boy named Noah that was terminally ill. He was expected to die very soon and his last wish was to get lots and lots of cards for Christmas. People from all over the country were encouraged to write to the boy so his wish could be granted. His story just touched my heart so deeply that for Family Home Evening tonight, we made christmas cards for Noah. As we talked about him tonight, the tears were flowing. This boy is the same age as our kids and his parents knew they would not have him for this Chrismas and many Christmases to come. My heart ached thinking about it. But at the same time, the spirit was strong and peaceful, because we know that  we have a loving Heavenly Father who has promised us that families really are together forever. The kids were touched by Noah's story and wrote the sweetest cards to him. I couldn't help but photograph them.
