Often I have moments throughtout my day that I think to myself... "I should blog about that...". Seeing the last time I posted here, it becomes pretty obvious that I do not always put my thoughts into action :) I love to get my thoughts down, but other tasks take priority, therefore I often "blog" within my mind...crazy, I know!
Anyways...about the wisdom shared and the "smile" moment I had at church the other night. God is a gracious God and continues to literally give me the words to speak when I am in conversation with someone about Ezra. Sometimes it is just a quick little sentence to answer the questioning looks or the puzzled faces when I say the "baby" is almost 3 years old...I actually LOVE it when someone is bold (and kind) in asking about Ezra, like he matters and can HEAR what is being said around him.
The other night after church, a sweet little 4th grader that has previously seen and been around Ezra was stroking his hair and asked how he was doing. This was the first time she had given him any attention, maybe because Owen sits in the front of the double stroller (yes, I use a double stroller on Wed. nights :) and gets her attention first :), but anyways, she asked about him saying that she had heard that he has "brain trouble"...I simply explained to her that he has a brain injury and that because our brains tell all our body parts how to work, he has trouble doing things like sitting, talking, walking....she smiled and looked up at me and said, "at lease his brain is telling him to have a heartbeat..." I smiled and said, "yes, I am so thankful".
Even days later, I smile at her precious viewpoint about the miracle of Ezra's life. God is good and blesses me with sweet moments such as this one, so that when I am feeling sad or longing for "more"...I can remember that God is in control and is allowing Ezzy's brain to tell his little heart to beat...to carry on and continue on this journey of his precious life.
I am overwhelmed with how much God cares for me and that through a little 4th grader, He can uplift my spirit and bring focus back to where it belongs, on HIS goodness and grace.
