HLHS Poem

I recently received this poem from a HLHS mother. It's been such a BLESSING to see how God has brought various people into our lives through Austin's journey. It has greatly enriched our lives and made this journey all the better! Thank you!

1/2 OF AN ANGEL'S HEART

It's a beautiful day up in heaven. Jesus is rounding up his tiniest angels, to go live on earth, and be born. One of the sweetest angels says to Jesus "I don't want to leave, I like it here, and I will miss you." He reassures the scared little angel that everything will be okay, and that the angel is just going for a visit. The little angel is still not swayed on this idea. So Jesus kneels down, and says, "How about if you leave half of your heart here with me and take the other half with you, will that be okay?" The angel smiles and says, "I guess that will work." But the little angel is still a little scared. He asks, "Will I be okay with only half of my heart?" Jesus replies, "Of course you will, I have other angels there that will help you out, and you will be fine." Then Jesus gives the angel more details about His plan. He says, "When you are born, your mommy will be scared, so you have to be strong, and when you feel weak just remember that I have the other half of your heart." "Enjoy your time with your family, play and laugh everyday." "And when its time to come back to heaven, I will make your heart whole again. Always remember that you are not broken, just torn between two loves."

Austin is our little angel sent to us with half a heart... but so comforting to remember that God has Austin's whole heart in His hand and is in control of it all! What a peace to know that its in our Father's hand!

Thank you for walking this journey with us.
