This is the type of situation that almost makes me understand those who can't believe in God, because I can't fathom why a loving God would allow a little man like this to suffer and die while we have people out there who live to destroy the lives of others. Then I remember that, God never promised us a life free from pain. He never said life would be fair. What he did say was, "Let the children come to me and do not forbid them, for the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to such as these." This gives me hope. Hope that innocent children like Liam will someday inherit the Kingdom through a life that they were denied on Earth.
I took a minute tonight to honor Liam with a slideshow of some of the pictures his family shared with the tens of thousands of us who have followed this little man’s struggle. If you haven’t followed his story, take a minute to check out these Facebook pages:
I Love Liam Lyon
Lights for Liam
In memory of this incredible little man…here is a slideshow honoring his life.
Today the
Earth trembled, the skies wept,
And the angels
sang as they welcomed home
One of God’s
own warriors.
We were
blessed to have Liam inspire our lives
With his
smile and laughter.
If only for a
little while.
God has
called him home to prepare for the day
When His
return will be trumpeted
By the sound
of Liam’s roar!
Until that
day we thank God
For the
little man
Who touched
the heart of the world.
For the rain
that hides our tears.
And for the
thunder in the skies.
That reminds
us to fight through the pain.
So that one day we will walk side by side
Through the
fields of heaven
With God’s
little Lyon.
