Sabrina will be ten months old the day after Easter. She is a spunky, humorous, wonderful baby whom we have nicknamed “Munchie.” Below is a picture of a nylon sticker we miraculously got unstuck from the back of her hard palate two nights ago. I know we aren’t supposed to live in the land of the “what ifs,” but what if we hadn’t noticed her strange cough as she played? What if the manufacturer had made the sticker clear instead of white, and what if we hadn’t seen its corners when she tilted her head backward in laughter? What if I had nursed her and put her to bed as I had planned to do just a few minutes later?
This week, as believers, we celebrate not only Christ’s sacrifice, but also His victory over sin and death through His resurrection. We are grateful that His sufferings are ours in abundance (2 Cor. 1:5) and we praise Him for the fact that He is our risen Lord. As a mother, I also cry out, “Thank You, thank You, thank You, Jesus!” for sparing my little Munch.

There are so many times we can thank Jesus. Raising children is such a challenge and I had many rearing mine in the way they should go. I thank Jesus for walking with me each day as I learned that because of His Grace I have walked many days now a thankful mother.
Amy, I want to thank you for the ministry that you and Patrick had at EIC. You truly led us to worship. I know that was your goal.
May God richly bless you as you continue to humbly serve Him.
