Blessings

Every now and then I hear a song that totally describes my feelings. I came across such a song by Laura Story called " Blessings"  My favourite verse is this:

Cause what if your blessings come through raindrops
What if Your healing comes through tears
And what if a thousand sleepless nights
Are what it takes to know You’re near
What if my greatest disappointments
Or the aching of this life
Is the revealing of a greater thirst this world can’t satisfy
And what if trials of this life
The rain, the storms, the hardest nights
Are your mercies in disguise

I would not choose to go through these trials again, and I pray that we won't have to, but if we do, I know that even in my darkest night, Jesus is there!

This morning Ethan came down the stairs and said he wasn't feeling well. My heart skipped a beat as I looked into his puffy eyes. Memories came flooding back of relapses and prednisone, and thoughts of " Oh No, it's finally over" filled my head. Ethan went voluntarily to test himself and despite a foamy looking sample, he was negative. Phew!!! Exhale, I can breathe again!
