Tender Mercies of God






It's been a rich summer. Though we've entered the world of doctors and testing again for a season, God has met us and renewed our hearts in the sweetest ways. These pictures are from yesterday. Benjamin had a colonoscopy, an endoscopy and some bloodwork done at Children's. Things looked good, and we'll get the biopsies back next week.

Of course, Jamie and Benjamin wore their Superman outfits. Benjamin became panicky when we entered the room, but of all the rooms, God had chosen to put a Thomas car in ours- our favorite. There was not another Thomas car around. That was all it took. I began thinking about how God delights in showing His tenderness towards us as children, as parents, as individuals, no matter where we are and however dark things seem.
