It's amazing how blessed I am feeling right now. My precious little Finley is sound asleep in her crib weighing almost a full pound more than last week with the aid of a little formula in addition to my breast milk. This past week, a friend of a friend (you know how that goes) lost her full term baby (three days before they were set to induce) because her cord was wrapped around her throat twice.
As many of you know, Finley was born with her cord wrapped around her throat twice as well so I immediately praised God through my tears for the gift of my sweet little girl. Obviously, I knew that it was serious when my doctor and nurses exclaimed "OH! That was the problem!" during delivery, but caught up in the emotions, I never really processed how absolutely blessed we are to have a healthy baby or just how close we were to losing her.
I keep hearing the following from Matt Redman's song Blessed Be Your Name:
You give and take away
You give and take awayMy heart will choose to say
Lord, blessed be Your name
We are truly and completely BLESSED in the good times and the bad. Thank you, Lord for allowing me to bless you in the GOOD times and give me the heart to bless you in the bad.
