Lately, one of our children has been having some health concerns. It turned out to NOT be what we thought it was, and something much, much less worrisome. What we thought he might have, was not a life threatening disease (well, not really), but was definitely going to call for life changes for our whole family. I am so thrilled that the problem, is really a simple one and shouldn't have a problem controlling.
The reason I mention this, is because I am overwhelmed with joy by the fact that I have three healthy children. Maybe in the past I took it for granted, but I don't anymore. There are people's blogs and CB sites I keep up with that share about children who struggle daily, some telling about how they lost their child to some horrible disease. I know, I know...why am I bringing up such depressing information? I'll tell you why :-)
Please, if you have a healthy child, don't take it for granted, Praise God for it.
It is truly the BEST blessing for a parent. Also, don't think that because your child isn't suffering, that other children are not. We, as parents of healthy children, need to offer more support to those who have sick kids. We can offer kind words, prayer, and even donate to good causes to help find a cure, or make a sick child's wish..weather it be time or money. I personally have NOT done my part in these areas, and plan to make a positive change in my life to help others who are less fortunate in the area of health, especially where kids are concerned.
So, this post is basically to help spread awareness, and to Praise God for all the blessings in our lives. He continues to amaze me with His sweet grace, daily.
