The Blessings We are Given

Holding my sweet, sleeping baby I breathe in the sweet, sweet aroma of his clean baby head. I love to feel his complete weight resting on my chest. Two seconds ago he was wiggling and playing and then he was out like a light. We are at church. Worshipping God while holding the sweet blessing entrusted to us, I got very emotional. Sometimes I do not understand why we have been blessed with 4 beautiful blessings when others so long for children but do not have any. We have a friend who has longed for many years for a child. She went in for a medical procedure to hopefully make it possible for her to have a child. Instead, cancer was discovered and her dream of having a biological child was forever taken away from her. She dealt with her cancer with grace and courage. She truly has a beautiful soul, a soul made to be a mother. Things were looking up for her and her husband. Her treatment was done and she and her husband were looking into adopting a child. At a follow-up appointment, fluid in her pelvis region was found and her blood test for cancer markers came back with a concerning number. She has a procedure done tomorrow to try to determine what is causing the fluid and the rising number. Please say a prayer for her and her husband.
