Last night we were up with Abby as the poor little gal threw up through the night. It might seem crazy to some, but while I am up and even after, I always appreciate my children and what a blessing they are to me a little more (or the realization of it is more clear).
The other day I was reading the "love" chapter of First Corinthians, and the Lord spoke something so clear to me. That everything else in this world with fall away, but there are 3 things that can and will endure - FAITH, HOPE, and LOVE.
So as I am up holding Abby's hair knowing that there really is nothing else I can do for her, I realize that FAITH, HOPE and LOVE is so true. How many times in our life do we forget about these things and try to take care of things the "world's way"? We can try to hold on to our hatred, but it just eats away at us and destroys. We can try to just "make things happen" (or have faith in ourselves) for ourselves, but many times, because we are human, we will becoming discontent in our own ability.
Why is it that when things of this world get stripped away do we begin to recognize this simple truth? - because God made it that way - when all else fails, these will ALWAYS remain...FAITH, HOPE, and LOVE, and the greatest of these is LOVE.
So...last night, all was stripped away, maybe that is why my LOVE for Abby in those moments is so clear.
