For the first time this season, I have a few moments to sit by the light of our Christmas tree and enjoy the still and the quiet. As I do, I'm flooded with emotion. Grateful that Brooke is home with us and doing fairly well. Such joy in having her here with us to celebrate the birth of our Savior today and in watching our kiddos enjoy the typical happenings of Christmas day in our home. Such joy and hope.
At the same time, my heart hurts for the families who aren't home with their kiddos tonight. There are so many families, some we got to know by sleeping next to them in the parent lounge or passing them several times a day in the hallways of the CICU, who are sleeping in that same parent lounge or on the chair next to their child's bed tonight...unsure of whether their child will make it to tomorrow. Such heartache. Will you pray for them tonight?
Merry Christmas!
