Joyful moments

Psalm 66: 1 Shout for joy to God, all the earth!

Joyful moments...

 

Last year, around this time, my son was being admitted to the hospital at the young age of 4 months. Little did we know that we'd spend both Christmas and New Year's in the hospital.

 

We didn't celebrate Christmas last year ,and the gifts remained unwrapped until mid-january and then the second trip to hospital came. Joy was hard to find back then and in all reality the pit of despair we seemed to be falling into consumed us and sucked the tiniest bit of positive emotion out of us.

 

This year, even though a second surgery(reimplantation of the ureter) is scheduled on 12/19/12, we've realized how joyful life can be if you care to appreciate its beauty. Like when my boys hug and kiss each other goodnight after bouncing on the bed, I call that joy. My husband reminding me that he loves me on a daily basis, brings me joy.  Being able to have both my parents alive and kicking and enjoying their home visits, brings joy to my heart. And, the lady who rings the bell in her super red lipstick as she collects coins for the salvation army. Her super white teeth glow right at me as she smiles. Smiling back isnt difficult, she spreads some joy. Then there are those beautiful people who intentionally give out of their hearts desire to make someone happy.

 

This South TX College Biology Club was kind enough to greet us at the Dr.'s office with a gift.


We've tried to make the most out of the holidays and hoping that we are out of the hospital before Christmas. We really want to be home. Anxiety will try to creep in soon, this I know. At the moment, I find peace in my heavenly father, who has lifted us up from the worst time of ours lives and brought us to this time of year again. My father who has come to our rescue time and time again.

 

 

Having fun at the festival of lights.

We continue asking for prayers for Noah.
