When I look at you, I think why not me? Then I realize that in the past 2 years, both Tom and Clark were hospitalized. Tom had a reinfection of the same thing that put him in the hosptial in the first place. We were terrified and had to rely on our community.

I clicked through the miscarriage links and found the portrait of the family who lost their baby, with their precious baby in their hands. I was imagining the worst, but the look on their beautiful faces is one of grace, blessing and peace.

God gives us what we can handle, God gives us what we need to grow and deepen our faith. He doesn’t give us too much, just enough, to push us forward. Forward into the body. You are not any less because you are a nose and not an ear. You get runny, but not achy. I get achy and ringy, but not runny. =)
