Grateful Beyond Words

As we continue to process and Brett continues to heal, I am continually in awe and often emotional.  This last Sunday was Mother's Day and a communion day at church.  As I sat there remembering the sacrifice that God made on behalf of us I was a bit overtaken.  You see, God sent his only son, Jesus, to bear the weight of my sin, a sinner not worthy of this act.  All because of his love for me.  I am so undeserving.  And yet as I was pondering this, I was able to relate a little more closely to what it must be like to lose His son, as we have had to face how closely that came to being our reality.  It just humbles me and makes me so grateful that God loved us so much that he willingly endured the heartache to be able to give us all a way to spend eternity with Him.  Grateful beyond words.

And even more grateful that God continues to amaze us with his power and his mercy.  On Monday, at our appointment with the neurosurgeon, all that she said was, "I'm amazed."  She asked is he back at school. Yes.  Is he having any trouble? No.  He can do everything that he did before the accident? Yes.  How about his personality? Normal.

So then I asked her, "Why are you amazed?" You see the entire time we were in the ICU, it was this doctor that always remained optimistic and always told me that she wasn't worried.  So I couldn't understand why she was amazed.  Then she told me, "Your skull is a very, very thick bone.  For him to fracture that part of his skull would require a very severe blow. I am just surprised that he is already to this point after only 6 weeks."

Well, I am not surprised.  You see, I serve an amazing God and I know the power of prayer!  My God can do anything.  And once again, although I feel I am totally undeserving of his love and his blessing, I am still grateful beyond words.
