EPHESIANS 5: 20
Giving thanks always for all things
unto God and the Father in the name
of our Lord Jesus Christ.....
Being just a baby that doesn't talk yet,
I endeavor to tell my story of thankfulness.
My Mother and Father had prayed for a girl,
Suddenly I was there and started such a whirl.
They were so happy to finally conceive,
Having a little girl was such a happy relief.
Little did they know the task that lay ahead,
My little life began too early, there was such dread.
But Mommy knows the Lord you see,
And prayed each and every day on her knee.
"Lord heal my child and make her whole;
She is so precious to me, help her to grow.
"
My grandmother, who is Mee Maw to me,
Had all her internet friends praying constantly.
All the prayers and good wishes they would relay,
And she would give them to Mommy each day.
Mee Maw would give a folder for Mommy to see,
Every prayer and good wish, and she read them to me.
Standing by my isolette with tears streaming down,
She was so encouraged by each word and wish she found.
My Mommy and Daddy and brothers too,
Came to visit with me and my fears they would soothe.
They sang to me and talked to me every time they came,
My days of suffering were eased again and again.
Now those days are in the past,
I live at home with my family at last.
I am a bit precocious, already I have heard,
But I am not bothered, I don't believe a word.
When I grow up and begin to understand,
The reason I am alive today is because of the MAN.
The Son of God who died for me on Calvary,
Who not only takes my sins, but heals me totally.
As the Bible teaches, He covered me in the womb,
I'm so glad that He was always in my little room.
Listening to the prayers of Mommy and MeeMaw's friends,
That brought me through the hurdles and back to life again.
So this is my story so far; as I can relate to you,
I know MeeMaw will keep updates coming through.
We all thank you everyone for your endless prayers,
But most of all I have to THANK the man who lives upstairs.
