Hurting Children

One of the worst parts of being a parent is when you child hurts and there is nothing you can do but love on them. 

Kara is having the typical hormone swings after giving birth.  She doesn't want to leave Forrest with a sitter in a few weeks.  How well I (Vicki) understand that!!

David broke off his relationship with Sarah.  He is focusing on Jesus right now. 

While we want to take the pain on ourselves and make things better..... all we can do is pray for them, love them and be there.  And have the knowledge that God is also loving on them. 

God is so good.

Our world has forever changed.  Forrest Neil joined us this morning at 10:28am weighing 9 lbs, 1 oz and 20.25 inches long. 

He was delivered by C-section because of his size - it ended up the cord was wrapped around his neck - three times.  God is good.

I am not sure I realized how much this one event would impact me.  When Tom called to let me know - I cried.

When we made it to the hospital - there were tears in my eyes.  God is so good.

As we begin this new season in our life - being grandparents, we can hardly wait.  To take him to the zoo, camping and the beach.  To shower unconditional love on him.  To talk to him about how much Jesus loves him!!

As we drove home I wondered if this is how our Heavenly Father feels about us - totally, completely head over heels in love with us.  He wants the best for us.

God has blessed us so much - we have each other, we have some pretty amazing children, we have a brand new awesome grandbaby.  

We can't wait to see what God has next for us.  We know He is about to shower us with even more love, more blessings because we love Him and we are being obedient to His word.

Life is short, we are hanging on to Jesus and loving every minute of it.

Thank You Abba Father for this new little life.  May he grow up to be a man after Your heart.

God is good beyond our imagination!
