the son of a dear friend,a precious little boy who the doctors said wouldn't live this long. They were wrong.
They didn't factor in what the LORD might have planned. Instead of the little fellow having heart surgery, the LORD has used this difficult situation to work on the hearts of hundreds of others.
As I gazed into this little bundle of miracle, I was captured by his eyes. They were the eyes of the wise. What sweet secrets had the Father whispered to him? His eyes seem to have a message to tell, yet God hasn't planned for him to grow up to preach it. For the LORD has chosen to show us that message instead, yet it is not just one message, it is a thousand personal messages to a thousand different people. Each one loved so grandly by the LORD. Just like He loves this little bit of heaven.
Christian parents all have the ultimate goal for each of our children to do two things: Point others to Jesus and live with Jesus in Heaven. This little baby is fulfilling the first and will soon do the second. The Lord in His tenderness is giving this family a special time to make treasured memories. He is giving them days full of grace moments to store up in their hearts for the days ahead when the tears will flow like rivers and their arms will be aching and empty.
The Lord is giving them extra time to hold their son. It is a miracle. Yet another miracle goes by unseen. For the LORD, the Creator of all, the Almighty God, is holding them. Tenderly, Lovingly, Securely holding them all.....
I held a little bit of heaven today. It was a blessing I shall never forget.
