Small blessings are actually huge blessings

Sometimes it amazes me, just when I think I can't take anymore God shows me His love for me in small ways. I have been on crutches now for a month and am on my last straw. Being totally laid up and unable to do anything is more than old. I am thankful for all the help I have received but still, it's so humbling and SO hard to not be able to do anything. Just as I think, I can't take anymore God gives me a small blessing which as HE knew and I am learning is actually a huge blessing! JT giggled for the first time today. Not only was it beautiful it was perfect and rejuvenating. It gives me energy and excitement. I know the two aren't related but it's all apart of life and that sweet giggle just makes my heart happy. God knew what I needed, what we needed and he blessed us with it. Jake has been amazing through these 4 weeks, but doing two full time jobs is more than enough for him. That one little giggle is just what Jake needed to make it one more week and hopefully, Lord willing, we will get more little moments, more small blessings to keep us going until this is all over. I don't know why, but it still amazes me how much God knows that I don't. Silly I know, but I am still awe struck by Him. God is so awesome, so loving. When we think we are at our limit, he gives us something to smile about, something to look up and say Thank You Father!
So, Thank You Lord for loving us more than we deserve!!

So glad to hear about that giggle! That's right on track for his gestational age - sounds like he's developing well.
