one proud mamma

we had a rough night last night. maggie woke up around 3.00 am saying that she was scared and that her ear was hurting her. i loved on her and sent her back to her room still half asleep. she got up a couple more times still complaining about her ear but finally went back to sleep around the time joe was leaving for work. when we got up around 8.00 her ear was still hurting so i made an apt with her dr.

fast forward and hour or so....

i was doing the laundry and maggie came into the laundry room and told me that last night when i put her back in bed after she had woken up, she told me that she prayed to God to help her not to be afraid and to make her ear stop hurting. then she said, i wonder why he didn't make my ear better? in this moment i was so proud of her! she had leaned on God with out me telling her to. she did it on her own! then i had to tell her that sometimes God doesn't make things better all the time so that He can help the doctors help us so they themselves can learn more about how to help people who are sick. that seemed to be a good enough answer..... for the moment.

what a beautiful thing it is to see our children reach out to God with their cares. Good answer Mom.
