For those of you that follow the blog, you know Henry hasn't been doing well. He is at Scott & White Hospital now with a brain bleed that is pretty extensive. He is unable to move his right side, unable to communicate clearly, and on a feeding tube. His mind is active and alert, but he cannot seem to say what it is thinking, nor write. In the midst of it all, I am thankful.
I am thankful because God is so good to give us the creative, loving innocence of children. They provide comic relief right when we need it most. They bring us back to the priorities..."I'm hungry, mama"...which give us a purpose when we want one. They read our emotions and give us a hug when that's exactly what we desired. If only we knew our needs as well as they do and could put it so simply. 
They help us remember the simple games provide the best entertainment. Their smiles remind us that everything else can wait for awhile. 
Even before they can talk or hug, the look that your child gives in recognition of you as their mother is enough. I feel fulfilled, content, at peace. Thank you Lord for my two little angels you've given me and Jeremy amongst the harsh reality with Henry's situation.
