I was born into a catholic family, baptized, made my first communion and was confirmed, later to become Mrs. Williams in the church. I strayed from the church with no spiritual direction. When Tanner was born still, I was completely obsessed with seeing him again. I attended several studies of various denominations to appease my needs. I spoke to different people about their views on heaven and the chances of seeing my son again. I was strongly drawn back to the Catholic Church. I know that my son is in the best possible place in heaven, considering he did not have the opportunity to sin. I wanted to be right there with him, when my time comes. I went to confession at St Pius x Catholic Church, where Monsignor placed his healing hand on my shoulder and forgave me for my many sins. As a Christian, I felt the weight of the world lift. My girlfriend bought me a Bible in my time of grieving, so I could read of the eternal life we will have with our loved ones. I found several scriptures that gave me so much comfort and hope that I shall cradle my heavenly babies someday.
John 14:11-14
Believe me when I say that I am in the father and the father is in me; or at least believe on the evidence of miracles themselves. I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing. He will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the father. And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the son may bring glory to the father. You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it.
John 16:22-24 So with you: now is your time of grief, but I will see you again and you will rejoice, and no one will take away your joy. In that day you no longer will ask me for anything. I tell you the truth, my father will give you whatever you ask in my name. Ask and you shall receive, and your joy will be complete.
2 Corinthians 5:6-7
Therefore we are always confident and know that as long as we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord. We live by faith, not by sight .
1 Peter 1:3-9
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and into the inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade- kept in heaven for you, who through faith are shielded by God's power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time. In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. These have come so that your faith of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire- may be proved genuine and may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed. Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, glorious joy, for you are receiving the goal of your faith, the salvation of your souls.
Hebrews 11:1-2, 39-40
Now faith is being sure of what hope for and certain of what we do not see. This is what the ancients were commended for.
These were all commended for their faith, yet none of them received what had been promised. God had planned something better for us so that only together with us would they be made perfect.
John 14:2-3
In my father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you, and if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.
Ephesians 2:6-8
And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Jesus Christ, in order that in the coming ages He might show the incomparable riches of His grace, expressed in His kindness to us in Christ Jesus. For it is by the grace you have been saved, through faith-and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God.
Philippians 3:20-21
But our citizenship is on heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ, who, by the power that enables him to bring everything under his control, will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like his glorious body.
Galatians 6:9
Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.
2 Samuel 12:23
But now that he is dead, why should I fast? Can I bring him back again? I will go to him, but he will not return to me.
2 Peter 1:10-11
Therefore, my brothers, be all the more eager to make calling and election sure, for if you do these things, you will never fall, and you will receive a rich welcome into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
1 Corinthians 15:21-22
For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead comes also through a man. For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive.
