Just as we have affirmed the fact that Maisy is "ours" --it is time to give her fully to the Lord--where she is loved even more than we could ever love her. Maisy is sick. She aspirated overnight on Friday because she vomited and a nurse left her laying flat on her back in her crib. We have spent two days trying to suction and use her nebulizer medications to see if she can clear out all that made it to her lungs. She is a trooper.
The fierceness of a mother's love for her child comes out in me when I watch our new little one struggle. I am struck with how much more Our Father loves us and cares for us than even our moment of greatest love that we can express to our children. Just as we have claimed her as our own, we together as her parents, lift this little one to the Lord and give her back to the One who created her..the One who died for her and the One who has entrusted us with her care...
Please lift her in prayer as she fights this illness.
