The last couple of nights, Caleb has been sleeping soundly through the night and getting much more sleep than he has the past number of months. And, he is healing up! Although he has a long ways to go, for the first time in weeks he walked from our living room to the bathroom with his cane! Oh it was so amazing! So, we are praying this is a momentum shift and he is only going to get better and better now, without any relapses. So we are thankful for the steady progress!
This morning we had our own little church service again, the two of us, here at home as we have the last couple months. As Caleb was sharing some thoughts from Scripture, it warmed my heart. God has really met us in a very profound and special way here in our home these last couple months. In fact, I know we will never be the same. We are humbled and we know that God has been right here in our midst over the last few months, teaching us, loving us, holding us. And I think we have each watched the other grow in amazing ways in such a short amount of time. So, even in spite of the fact that it has been difficult, I am thankful for the simple moments where we have worshiped God together in our home. And I have loved Caleb teaching me the things he is learning. But, all that being said, we can't wait to get back to church and wrap our arms around our friends necks!! (Well, Caleb will side hug, shake hands, and fist bump...haha!)
Today I finally felt like I could just truly relax again. The sun is shining outside and I opened up the windows, turned on my scensy warmers, made some cookies, and started sewing again. It was soooo relaxing for me! Considering my list of pregnant friends is unending, I began sewing gifts again. So, today, I made some burp cloths and bibs. It was nice having country music in the background, drink my coffee, and eat some cookies, as I did something mindless. Here is what I came up with...
All to say, it has been a nice, much needed, day. I feel like my heart and mind have slowed down. And I have been able to have calm and peace. And in the back of my mind, as the day begins to close, my mind is thinking about the latest verse Caleb has been memorizing and reciting to me each night...
"And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm, and steadfast." 1 Peter 5:10
