I have been walking alongside an old friend of mine who is going through a trying time. She has just been blessed with her first wee one, and the darling arrived in a hurry! So this new family has been spending their time at the hospital with hopes that soon they will finally be able to welcome their newest member HOME.
While thinking on and praying for her and her family, it struck me that there is a lot of need in these places.
There are pooped nurses.
There are exhausted parents.
There are scared siblings.
There are so many questions.
They need our happy thoughts and prayers and smiles and loves!
My friend recently wrote on her Facebook status: Today God gave me the blessings of speaking life to parents in the ward and laying hands on a 1lb 6oz baby and her parents and praying with them. This ward is a place of hope. Little lives are saved daily. We got to love our nurses. It was a beautiful day. God is so good.
I'm so happy to see the hope and faith that my friend has. And I'm certain that there are many more people in the NICU's around the world feeling this way. But I also know that there are doubts and fears, tiredness and frustration. So I'm excited about supporting them with some good vibes and I hope you are too!
hugs and loves to you and all the wee ones!

ReplyDeleteI thank each person who prays and sends up love to us, to those families and the staff who works to bring our children home for us. Our experience has taught us a lot about what really matters.
