    Sacred Stories

    After her daughter lived three-and-one-half days, she founded a soap making business to honor her daughter. It was the first “market” where Ella’s Soapbox was set up.

    Bob Marley’s “Three Little Birds” began to play.

    This was a very special song, and the message was clear:

    Saying’, (this is my message to you)
    Singing’ don’t worry ’bout a thing
    ‘Cause every little thing gonna be alright
    Three Little Birds lyrics © Kobalt Music Publishing Ltd.

    Tears of gratitude and recognition. Ella was there with her!

    Sacred Stories

    Her heart was heavy as she was driving to her parents’ house with her infant son. Her first family photos were going to be without her husband and her daughter.

    She had given birth to twins a few months earlier, but her daughter had only lived three-and-a-half days.

    Current family tension resulted in her husband’s not attending the wedding of her brother.

    She was thinking about what it would be like to have all four of them in the car on the way to—anywhere.

    She suddenly realized that Bob Marley’s Three Little Birds had come on the radio. That is the song they had all four of their heartbeats put to….

      Don’t worry about a thing
      ‘Cause every little thing gonna be alright
      Singing’ don’t worry about a thing
      ‘Cause every little thing gonna be alright
