HopePrints Ministries

HopePrints Ministries HopePrints is a ministry born of tragedy, offering tangible comfort and the Hope of Christ to families grieving the death of a child.

After a brief illness In December 2006, our 5 year old son, Mason, was placed on life support. We were blessed with the presence of a Child Life Specialist who guided our older children through the process of creating keepsake handprints of their brother. The prints are a precious reminder of the time we spent with Mason, and an encouragement to us as we continue to find purpose in the tragedy of

his death. Since Mason's death we have functioned as a family reaching out to our community, and beyond through a service God has enabled us to perform. It is an incredible honor to be able to create this priceless keepsake to hurting families. Churches locally, and across the nation are currently making HopePrints Ministries available in their own outreach programs.

2 Corinthians 1:4
Who comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.

I intended to sucker-punch December the way it has done to me so many times—by hosting my second retreat for grieving mothers during the very anniversary week of losing my son, Mason, and my brother, Jacque.
But the flu got me instead.

So this is one last reminder to anyone who didn’t register but might have planned to show up tomorrow: we’ve had to reschedule the retreat.

I was terrified that the minute I canceled, I’d be miraculously healed and filled with regret. But in all of God’s mercy and grace… I am still as sick as I was at Thanksgiving, fully validating my decision. 🙌🤣

We had a wonderful group of leaders lined up and a surprising number of moms registered within minutes of the very first post. So now I’m determined to get this retreat rescheduled as soon as possible.

Having all this time to think—and knowing I somehow think even clearer when my heart is hurting—I’ve dreamed up even better gifts and meaningful touches for the moms.
So no—December ultimately did not win.

God always has the last say and the final victory. 🥹❤️🙌

Please pray for all of the mamas who desperately needed an event like this during the holiday season.

Pray that God would reveal to each of them the beauty that can rise from the ashes of grief, even in the most painful time of the year.
And pray that Satan would have no victory in this vulnerable season for a grieving parent!
