army crawling

God is great. He has blessed me so much. I often wonder what it is that I have done to be so blessed. I am just a simple person who tries to mind my own business. No lives have been saved because of me, no cancers have been cured because of me, so why is it that I have so many good things in my life. I do thank God for this every day, but, I wonder it even more when I hear sad news. I am so happy that I am blessed but other families who are just like me have to go through something so tragic.

A co-worker of mine just said that he has a niece who is only 7 weeks old who is going to die. She has Down ’s syndrome and with that as we all know, comes several health problems at times. Her health issues was a heart problem and another, sorry I can’t remember. After one of her surgeries last week, she coded. When the doctors were performing CPR on her, they hit a pin that was in her chest and the pin then went into her heart. They got her back, but she lost all brain activity. Next week the whole family will go down to say their good-byes to a little girl who they just said hello to. For this family, God blessed them with all his love. Even though they will not get to see her grow up, their hearts still grew that much more. In a time so difficult as this, I am sure it is hard for them to see it this way.

Stories such as this one, makes me think, “wow, I can’t believe how lucky I am.” I know I have said several times on this blog how lucky and blessed I am but it never seizes to amaze me. I watched a movie the other day that was a very good one and I recommend it to all of you. “Letters to God”. The movie shows how important prayer and faith is. It is about a boy who has cancer and wrights to God. They are short but affective letters. Long story short, good movie, watch it =)

On how blessed I am, I will say a little about Mr. William. He is officially army crawling!!! It is so cute, he even gets his legs going at times, just doesn’t have his butt in the air. Any day now and we will have to baby-proof the house! Just the other day, I was cleaning in the bathroom and heard a loud thud. I go in the living room and he has pulled the speaker onto himself from on top of the TV. He’s a tough guy though, no crying! Will is now going through teething. Any day now I am expecting to see his little pearly whites poke through. He is cranky, gums sore, runny nose, sometimes temp… any day now! Until then, baby Tylenol and lots of love.
