sweet kids
Today I rejoice in the healing hand of God! September 30, 2007 Josiah was in the PICU at Sutter Memorial Hospital battling Botulism and today, September 30, 2008 he is a healthy happy boy. Josiah brings such joy and completion to our family. My heart overflows with love for him. We spent time today enjoying the sunshine and breeze. I was humbled as I looked back at my journal of those days and at the Word that sustained us.
"I love the Lord, for he heard my voice; he heard my cry for mercy. Because he turned his ear to me, I will call on him as long as I live. The cords of death entangled me, the anguish of the grave came upon me; I was overcome by trouble and sorrow. Then I called on the name of the Lord: "O Lord, save me!" The Lord is gracious and righteous; our God is full of compassion. The Lord protects the simplehearted; when I was in great need he saved me. Be at rest once more, O my soul, for the Lord has been good to you." Psalm 116:1-7
I continue to pray this prayer for Josiah; one that we clung to a year ago...
"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart." Jeremiah 29:11-13
