Lessons from Faith

Thoughts from Faith's nurse.
Things I’ve learned from Faith:
~How special health is.  We may not have a big house with a white picket fence, but if we have health, we are so rich.
~Kids are washable.  If she wants to plop down in a patch of dirt to draw shapes or letters with a stick, seize the moment!
~She needed new shoes anyway; stomp those puddles!  This time last year, she was fighting sepsis and we don’t know what next week holds, so stomp those puddles!
~Every word, every smile is a miracle.  Celebrate every milestone, no matter how mundane they may seem.
~Learn to listen carefully and enjoy the sights and sounds around us. 
    ~The joy that erupts on her face when she hears a bird or a dog and correctly identifies it is immeasurable.
    ~Take time to investigate that noise.  
     ~Who cares who sees us sitting in the middle of the sidewalk conversing with an ant or waiting for a pill bug to unroll 
     itself!
~Her awe at every dandelion is amazing!  These aren’t weeds; they’re one of God’s most beautiful masterpieces.
~Cry for joy! It’s lovely to explain to her that I’m not sad; I’m crying because I’m so happy, because she’s made me so happy.
~Focus on fun, not fair. I was so bummed at how unfair it was that the older kids took all the eggs at the Easter Egg Hunt, but she was just having fun looking for eggs!
