Please pray for this family and their baby girl Copeland:
"Conor and I prayed specifically for joy last night. I guess somehow in the middle of all of this, I'd forgotten that if I prayed for the ability to smile, to be able to look past - even ignore, to some degree - the imminent sadness before us, just for today, God would be faithful to answer. I know you are continually lifting us up, as well, and I want you to know how thrilling I find my position in this life to be right now. To put Sellers to bed, to wake her in the morning, to sit up late and talk with my husband about both the heaviest and silliest of subjects, to rock Copeland in my arms and just let Jesus give her each breath - all of these things fill me up so immensely that I find it hard to express. I never want to look back on this day - or the days ahead - and feel that I squandered the gift the Father is giving me."
To read this family's blog and find, through Boothe's ordinary tasks (see bold print above) as she holds vigil over her baby daughter's bedside, that she is giving us an extra-ordinary witness to life; inspires me to:
- Find joy
- Thrill in my position in this life right now
- Never squander the gifts the Father has given me
