So, how was your weekend? Emma had a pretty good one. I think her new meds are starting to do some good. Our sweet friend who kept the kiddos Saturday even got some smiles out of her. Those little smiles are few and far between and such a huge blessing when we get them.
We had a good time in church Sunday morning. It's always good to be amongst our church family. We sang the old hymn, "There is a Name I Love to Hear"...
There is a name I love to hear, I love to sing its worth,
It sounds like music in mine ear,
The sweetest sound on earth
Oh, how I love Jesus,
Oh, how I love Jesus,
Oh, how I love Jesus,
Because He first loved me.
The tears flowed when we started singing that song. I guess I just realized that I really do love Jesus. Even though there are times I am so hurt and don't understand why our baby is suffering, and I'm angry that she isn't able to do even what she used to, not to mention what she should be doing, I love Him. He is the One carrying me. How would I walk this painful path without this knowledge? He understands my pain. He suffered so deeply for me. He provided the gift of salvation and eternity with Him, and loves me so much He would have done it all just for me. He's done it for us all. He wants us to accept His gift. Do you know Him? Is He carrying you? Oh, how I love Jesus, because He first loved me.
