Re: 基督徒的姊妹小產過後之"再戰江湖--湊仔篇" part 8
All, a little sharing with you.
I really have to thanks the Lord for both of my healthy kids.
At about the same time Caleb was born, my family has 4 newborn babies, one by my sister, two by my cousins. All are full term babies, and all weight heavier than Caleb. One of them is a 10lb at birth. I was also surrounded by healthy fat babies in the hospital and clinics.
Even though Caleb is not really that premature, and weight not that bad, sometimes, deep in my heart, I asked why me? Why my baby has to be preterm and give me worries, though not too much, but I cannot really relax myself and enjoy and rest most of the time. I keep wondering whether Caleb eat enough or not, and wonder why he doesn't have an obvious growth spur like his brother. I tried to wake him up from sleep a lot to eat.
Thanks to the Lord, I accidentally watch a TV program on 創世電視. I just got to watch the ending of the show, and a mother was saying, though my baby was premature, his development was like a normal kid by the age of three. She said that her kid is a gift from God.
That reminded me Caleb is also God's answer to our prayers. We have been longing for a sibling for Jacob for so long, and here he comes, lovely and healthy. He is just a bit premature, but He is a gift from God, and God has His plans in him. Thanks for this reminder. I feel more comfortable after.
Same day yesterday, I accidentally saw a topic on BK about 早產BB, most of the babies were born before 30 weeks and have been for ICU for months if not years. I feel so sorry for the moms, and I suddenly realised that God has already given me so much that I couldn't see before. Caleb is so blessed that he wasn't born when I had preterm labour at 28 weeks. He didn't end up in ICU. I spent all afternoon reading their stories, and can't help to ask God for forgiveness. Shouldn't I see his blessing in the very first place? Everything is in our dear Lord's hand, and I have been so 小信. He has been really good to me and know that I can't stand anymore trials.
I have got to remember God's wonders in my life and be his faithful servant.
耶和華是我的牧者.我必不至缺乏。Thanks God for my lovely family.
