Giving Thanks (inspired by)


Thanks be to God, Father, Son and Spirit, for the abundance of good things he pours on His children.
We are but few, but His blessings are many.

2 months ago today...


Two months ago today Aggie rarely went a single hour without a seizure. She was exhausted, unable to socialize or to learn, and having trouble completing daily activities.

Two months ago today we could not let her out of our sight. We had to constantly be ready to catch her, to see if she was breathing, to stop her from wandering down the stairs or out into traffic. Any and every public situation was full of enormous stress for these safety reasons.

Two months ago today we were afraid for her life. The seizures that made her stop breathing and turn blue were coming more frequently and lasting longer. We were using her rescue medicine on a weekly basis- it felt like we were pulling her back from the brink of death every time. But, we wondered, for how long?

Two months ago today we released our little Aggie into the hands of the Lord and those he has blessed with surgical skill.


Two hours ago, today, we were pracing a song in spanish. She is learning again!
Two minutes ago today she was getting too loud as she played with her siblings. She is socializing again!
Two months have passed with no seizures, and not a day goes by without loud, heartfelt praise to the Lord from those who know her. To see her riding a bike, twirling around the yard, running and laughing and talking.... God has truly blessed her and all of us!
Thank the Lord and sing His praise!
Tell everyone what He has done.
Let all who seek the Lord rejoice and proudly bear His Name!
He recalls His promises and leads His people forth in joy
With shouts of thanksgiving!
Alleluia! Alleluia!
