God's Handy Work

This morning whenever I was getting ready for work, I was stressed about all the things that I needed to accomplish today.  My "to do" list was overwhelming just thinking about it.  My nanny (my Granny) came over to stay with Gracie while she slept.  I asked her if she would mind cooking the sweet potatoes today.  She said she still had some at home that I had sent before.  I mentioned I just didn't have time to cook them today and I was worried they would spoil.  She said, "I don't know how you do it, girl.  You have SO much going on." 
I felt like her saying that "helped" my pity party of the morning that I am just so busy I can't see the light at the end of the tunnel sometimes. 
As I was driving to work, I was listing to KLove and heard that the lead singer of Sanctus Real, Matt Hammitt, is having a real problem.  Their 1 week old little baby boy, Bowen,  is in the NICU and had to have open heart surgery this week.  They mentioned that the doctors had decided to leave his chest cavity open so if he had problems, they would be able to address him immediately.  He watched his little heart beating as he looked into his eyes.  He was hovering over his little open chest and looking into those precious little eyes.
Well, he did have problems and Matt said that he witnessed the nurse pumping his son's heart with her hands to keep him alive.
Let that sink in for a minute.
Can you imagine watching as your child maybe slipping away, someone holding his tiny little heart in their hands?
I just broke.
I am so thankful. 
So many times, I forget how blessed I am. 
Today, I was reminded. 
Lord, please forgive me for being selfish.  I am so blessed, in so many ways.
Bowen is doing much better now.  He is now off of life support.  We are still praying for this little miracle and ask that you do the same.  If you would like to read more, here is the link to their blog spot. 
Just remember as I did today as I looked at the beautiful Son rise, that God's Handy Work is everywhere.  We just have to remember to be thankful and look for it.
