Treasuring Life's Blessings

Tonight Erik prayed before supper. And in his prayer he cheerfully said "and Jesus, I can't wait to die so I can see Noah again". :-( I think that is how we all have felt lately. The faith of a child is so pure and amazing!!! I can't wait until we are all finally reunited as a family again someday. A piece of me will forever be missing until that glorious reunion happens!!!

A friend of mine shared this quote with me recently:

If before you were born, I could have gone to Heaven and saw all the beautiful souls, I still would have chosen you. If God had told me, "this soul will one day need extra care and needs", I still would have chosen you. If He had told me, "that one day this soul may make my heart bleed", I still would have chosen you. If He had told me "this soul would make me question the depth of my faith", I still would have chosen you. If He had told me "this soul would one day make tears flow from my eyes that would overflow a river", I still would have chosen you. If He would have told me "our time spent together here on earth could be short", I still would have chosen you. If He had told me "this soul may one day make me witness overbearing suffering", I still would have chosen you. If He had told me, "all that you know to be normal will drastically change", I still would have chosen you. Of course, even though I would have chosen you, I know it was God who chose me for you. Thank you God for letting me be his mommy!"-Author Unknown

And this is all SOOO true!!! I may have never willingly chosen this path for my life, but after being given the privilege of being blessed with Noah, I would not have chosen to have him changed in any way!!! He was & is SO perfect!!! To know God designed him JUST the way he was just blows me away. Because ya know, He took the time to make Noah special, set apart from the rest of us. And as hard as it is to be separated from my son right now, it is an honor to know God saw us fit to be given such an amazing gift in Noah!!!
