Reflection
Five years ago, I was in the hospital laying flat on an operating table having my son 2 weeks early. We were so unprepared for his arrival it was insane. We had nothing put together, none of the laundry washed, nothing done. I was so nervous, having had a c-section with Skylar, I knew what to expect, however nothing ever goes the same way twice. I had bad reactions to the anesthesia, spiked fever, was stuck in recovery for almost 14 hours. I didn't even see Michael till the next day. But through all of that, all the hard times, when I saw my baby for the first time...nothing could have taken away the immense amounts of joy I was filled with. His squishy face, fingers closed tight in little fists, hair matted down to his head. He was the most beautiful thing I had seen.
Then Jason brought our older son to see Michael. That was the most precious moment a mother can ever see. Skylar came in with his own little present that we had him pick out for his little brother. His very first Bible story book. Skylar only being 2 and a half couldn't really read to him, but he sure did try. He wanted to explain things to Michael. I truly saw Gods love in my two boys ,and I still do to this day. I know if it wasn't for Him, I would not have my children at all.
And today we celebrate the 5th birthday for Michael. He is officially no longer a baby. I feel that when you turn 5, your a little boy. At 4, you can still be a "baby" but 5, that's another story. He is so excited about today. And it makes me think back, and just thank God for all the blessing in my life.
So today, as we celebrate, think back, and remember to thank God, for HE is the one who made all this possible.
