The Earth Has Moved!

Our Little Lynneah ate four times yesterday and night, all on her own as she cuddled mama.  The nurses got to enjoy the "earth" moving, but after meeting just a couple of them and one of the surgeons, I doubt that they minded a bit.  They seem to appreciate these baby steps in their tiny little patients.

I tried to find a picture of the earth rotating, but this one was so much better.  I plan to put it up in my home.

We are indeed in His hands.  In His infinite wisdom He guides us, allows us to experience challenges that will help us grow and  reach towards our full potential.  He loves us, respects us in our current state and for what we can become.  He never gives us more than we can bear.  Though he may allow us to make our decisions that may bring about consequences that are more than we can bear, He is there holding us in His hands, waiting for us to come unto Him.  To ask Him with an open heart that is ready to listen, learn and to be guided.

Yes, He holds all of us in His hands, even those poor unfortunate souls who don't recognize Him.  Just as all of my grandchildren love to be held in the arms of those they love and trust, He holds us in His arms and comforts us.  He loves us so much that He gave His only begotten son, who willingly took all of our sins upon His shoulders, to atone for them.  Who through His love, gave us the opportunity to return to our Father through our repentance.

I don't know about you, but I like being in these strong, loving hands.  I love having these new little spirits who remind me that it hasn't been that long since we were all in His presence.  Not even those of us who have a little snow on the roof and a few bats in the belfry!

Hope your day is as happy as mine.

This morning as Arianna said the prayer over her birthday breakfast, she ended by asking Heavenly Father to "...Bless Lynneah to be good, and bless her to be healthy!" I was touched that in the midst of the excitement of her birthday, she stopped to remember others she is grateful for and need help this day!

What an awesomely spiritual experience you and your family have had the past couple of weeks. I have grown from reading about it. And I'm so excited Lynneah did her business!
