Encouraged

Sometimes life can beat you down. Sometimes you think you can't go on much further. My faith has always been my foundation for everything that I do. No, I have not been "perfect". I only know ONE who is perfect. He is my example, and I have often failed him. I don't feel worthy of good things being said about me ... so tonight, when I was reading some comments from a very sweet friend regarding what she thought about me and my family and the love we exhibit, I was humbled, and reminded that the kind of love she showed me is the kind we should show everyone. You see ... she and her husband walked the almost exact same path that Danny and I (and our children) walked for 4-5 months, and in many ways, we are still walking the same path. Our preemie babies were born within a month of each other, none of us were prepared for what awaited us, that's for sure. So tonight ... when I was reminded once again that there was someone out there that knows what we went thru, that knows what it takes to make it thru that uncertain time in life with a preemie (micro-preemie), that thinks as much of our family as we think of theirs, I was encouraged that there are still good and sweet people left in this world, who don't compliment you to get something out of you or to just blow sunshine up your backside ... they tell you these things because it's what's in their heart ... I pray special blessings for Hilarie for making my night and renewing my faith that things really will be ok in this life ....
