Today I am feeling particularly blessed.
Olivia was happy all day! That in itself is something to celebrate. Aspergers is sometimes a difficult element in life. But today It was not. We pray for this every day for her.Kedus announced this morning on the way to preschool "Mommy, Kedus afraid family no love Kedus, send Kedus away to Sele Enat. Kedus happy, family love Kedus, Kedus love family." Ok, i nearly burst out in happy tears and had to pull over. I, of course, affirmed his statement of love we have for him and that he will never never be sent away for any reason. Nate was just lovey and happy, this is his usual self. At family prayer and Bible time the boys have been praying independently. They have prayed every night this week for their friend Gabriel who is now in ET with his new Daddy and brother. They are so sweet and pray for himwithout prompting of any kind. Their prayer is somethign like this, "Dear Jesus, thank you Gabriel family, help family Gabriel" tonight Nate added one more, he added "help Kedus' Ganet." This is his half sister. A precious dear young woman who is so brave and strong. We often pray for her and hope for news of her, which is not likely to ever come. What sweet and tender hearts our boys have. Tonight as Phoebe was going to sleep she was humming this song. It is one of her favorites. It makes my heart so joyful to know how much my daughter loves Jesus. There is no greater earthly gift. Here are the lyrics.Knowing You JesusGraham Kendrick
All I once held dear, built my life upon,
All this world reveres and wars to own;
All I once thought gain I have counted loss,
Spent and worthless now compared to this.
Knowing You, Jesus, knowing You
There is no greater thing.
You're my all, You're the best,
You're my joy, my righteousness,
And I love You Lord.
Now my heart's desire is to know You more,
To be found in You and know as Yours,
To possess by faith what I could not earn
All surpassing gift of righteousness
Oh to know the power of Your risen life,
And to know You in Your sufferings;
To become like You in Your death, my Lord,
So with You to live and never die.
