God's amazing ways

Ok - so this might be a little sad, but I feel like I need to say it. It is amazing the way God can teach us to be so thankful. Poor little Grace is very sick. She started with cold symtoms the middle of last week, has continued to pull on her ear even though she went through 3 rounds of antibiotic (is now on her 4th) and woke up Saturday morning with blisters in her mouth. Although the urgent care NP diagnosed one thing, I disagree. Anyway..she goes back tomorrow for a visit to her new PCP so we'll see what she says. Because of her blisters we are trying to get her to eat or drink anything...ice cream, ice pops, kool aid, anything. We haven't had much luck, everything seems to hurt. The part that breaks my heart is knowing she is hungry. I was rocking her last night in the lazy boy (where we have been sleeping) and she cried and cried. I could hear her little belly rumbling a little. I tried again to give her anything - it just hurt her too bad. So how can God be so amazing through this...it made me realize how lucky we are. I go out and buy what I need to try to make her feel better, jello, applesauce, anything...some people can't do that. So yes, I am thankful God gives me the means to do whatever it takes to try to make her feel better.

Happy Thanksgiving. I know what I am thankful for.
