Our Miracle-7 years old.
It was 7 years ago, 10/29, at 7:31am, that God allowed our premature darling-Gracie-to be born while I suffered from a splenic arterty aneurysm rupture. My family was told that neither of us would survive, but God spared us both. It seems like yesterday, it seems like a lifetime ago.
Thank-you, Lord, for giving us these past 7 years, and the realization that everyday, every minute, is a gift, a blessing. All we can do is live this life the way He wants us too, knowing, loving and serving Him, and preparing ourselves and our children for our eternal reward in heaven.
