You Learn Something New Every Child

I am amazed at all that Ellie is teaching us. Through this whole ordeal we have seen God's generosity and provision. God has provided for us in too many ways to list and it would be self-centered of us to think that we deserve it. When we look around the NICU and listen to the stories of parents who are staying at the Ronald McDonald House we see plenty of families more needy than we are. What exactly are we to learn from all this? Perhaps we are to see that life is not fair even in a world created by a just God. Perhaps we are too weep for those who leave the NICU with heavy hearts rather than rejoicing. Perhaps we are simply supposed to open our eyes and see the need around us. God has opened up a new part of His creation to us and allowed us to see what life is really like. The burning question remains: What are we going to do about it? It is difficult to imagine, but I remain convinced that we will learn as much from each of our future children as we have this time around. Perhaps we are being prepared for future lessons even now.
