There’s something about the way sunlight kisses the petal of a flower…
I stoop down low.
I stand on a chair.
I dance around the table and take 10o pictures.
I thank God that I can see flowers, and pray that baby K will be able to see them someday.
I looked down and saw a heart in the leaves. Isnt’ that cool?
I remembered that some of you have asked about baby K.
Well…
He’s grown a little bit. He can see a little bit. And he’s eating apples and bananas.
Yes, there are still gray days.
I took him to our large church last week for the first time. There were big, chubby, rosy-cheeked babies everywhere, and people stared at him. I realized for the first time that he doesn’t look like other babies.
I like to take him outside when it’s warm. His eyes turn toward the sun and I can see reflections in his eyes. They look like they are staying clear this time.
I pray for him every day- many, many times. From experience, I know that praying for a sick child is a lonely, solitary act. When it comes to extended prayer for healing, whether for weeks, months, or years, there aren’t many who will stick with it for long.
But I’ll stick with it.
I’ve seen a miracle before.
In fact, I see one every day. She walks down the stairs in the morning and pours herself a glass of milk. One day I’ll write out her story.
It’s a good story.
Thank you for asking about baby and praying for him. I’m hopeful that his story will have a happy ending, too.
Psalm 121
I lift up my eyes to the hills. From where does my help come?
My help comes from the LORD, who made heaven and earth.
Beautiful photos Scarlett, and touching post!!!
Thank you, my friend. I begrudgingly took you and K off my list because I wouldn’t be seeing you anymore. I don’t want you to be alone – I, too, have been there in the night watches. There is light in the morning, shining on lovely flowers – made ever clearer because of the washing of Mama’s tears through the darkness. May God continue to bless you with growth and healing as you return to my list from your 2-week hiatus. You are still my friend, regardless of whether I see you in person regularly!
Sweet Brenda, thanks for your lovely words! Yes, Baby K needs to be ON THE LIST!!! You are a special
lady. Keep in touch girlfriend!!!
We are sticking with it with you! We pray for baby K every day, for his sight and that he would grow up strong and healthy, and we’re watching for those miracles with you.
Thank you Susan, it is a comfort to know that you and others haven’t forgotten about him! Thank you a thousand times for praying for him!
You will not pray alone for baby K. I pray daily for him and for you. I think of him every time I see something lovely. The thing I want him to see clearly , more than anything else, is the face of his sweet, faithful mother. I believe this story has a happy ending. He is fearfully and wonderfully made.
I love you.
I am so thankful for you Jeana and your words carry a lot of weight in my heart. Love you too <3
We’re still praying, Scarlett. We don’t always understand what God is doing, but He is at work in our lives, and the lives of our children… always. And His plan is always perfect.
I hear you Keri and I know that’s true. Thank you for remembering Knox in prayer. God bless you guys!
Scarlett, we continue to stand with Baby K. Know that he is not forgotten in this household. Beautiful, beautiful post. And Psalm 121 is my most favorite psalm. Praying, praying, praying. Rest assured. This appeal to Heaven for healing will not be a solitary one.
Thanks Noel, you don’t know how much I appreciate that. I knew that you wouldn’t forget him! I was trying to say most people going through it (that would be ME) give up because they don’t see immediate results. I’m beyond blessed to have friends that will stand in faith alongside us. God Bless you guys!
I will pray for Baby K; I had a miracle happen to me and I believe you will, too~ I lost my first child and almost died, I never thought I would be a mother.
