Baby Jesus - Christy Collins

Is there anything more wonderful than a brand-new baby? I’m pretty sure there is not. Because I’m in between the stages of having babies and, hopefully someday, welcoming grandbabies, I eagerly squeeze the babies of my younger friends at every opportunity. There’s a new little guy whose parents attend church with me, and I love to stare at that boy’s beautiful face. His very presence brings me joy! Anytime I hold, or even see, a tiny baby, I’m definitely “in the moment.” I look that child right in the eyes and I am literally in awe of the miracle before me.

Even If - Sarah Green

And then I saw a mom across the waiting room holding her little boy who has “classic” CF, the kind I just found out my baby did NOT have. And my next thought was, “Would I be thanking Him even if my Anna Jo had not had a good diagnosis?”

Would I still be praising Him even if He chose to tell me no?

Would I still trust His mercy even if He let my innocent child suffer?
