God really got my attention yesterday in a few different ways and I feel I need to share.
1)Two of my friends have children who are fighting for their lives in the NICU, currently....and I complain because my child cries or will not sleep through the night at 2 months old. It puts things into perspective. I have NOTHING to complain about. How could I be so ungrateful for the blessings God has given our family?
I am blessed to have my beautiful baby home with me and HEALTHY. Life is such a miracle that only God can bring. Cherish each moment, for they are all precious. Those cries are some mothers' prayers to hear. Praying for the families and the babies really hard. God has a plan and I know He will get them all through these obstacles.
2)God allowed me to talk to a friend about church yesterday who I would really love to have come along with us sometime. It seems people get hurt in church so much easier than out in the world, and satan uses that to its potential. I don't ever want to push anyone away from God, but pray that I show His love in my actions every day. Praying for God to intervene here and let me be a willing vessel.
3)I have a few family members that I really want to see in church but have also been hurt so very badly and now shy away from anything remotely religious. To even mention God's name, you can hear the quiet fall upon the room. I'm praying for the right words to say. If I am not the one meant to witness to them, I pray that a seed is planted and someone closer to them can water and feed it. Since my son has arrived, this burden has become stronger and stronger. I see softening of hearts and more compassion in these eyes. I pray that even the simple innocence of a child will help to get through and I can be a prayer warrior and good Christian mother. I pray that I will be able to always teach him right from wrong and for him, in turn to be a shining light to those in need of the Lord.
4)I am not using my talents to their full potential. I need to sing for the Lord. I need to sing in the choir. I find too many excuses.
Pray without ceasing.
