I am learning to thank God even in our times of sickness because sometimes we all just need to slow down and snuggle more. 

I had a wonderful morning out with this little lady as we waited for her ear infection diagnosis. She’s such a delight even in her moments of sickness. We just walked the store aisles, waiting in the clinic. Her little joy in climbing in and out of the clinic chairs. Her jabbering about the MnM display guy being her size. Such sweet little moments. And I just drank it all in. Every “up please” came with open arms. 

I think God knew how much we both needed to just spend a slow morning together. Me and little baby girl. Just taking our time. Nowhere to be but with each other.

And after her little love tank was filled to the brim, she took her medicine and only got through half of “Jesus loves me” before this happened:

I love you, precious little girl. I’m so blessed to be your mommy. Even after the sleepless nights, baby, I’m just so incredibly blessed by God to have you.

God is so good to us to give us to each other. 

So, so Good.
