In God We Trust
December 16, 2011
Hope has been going through more the last year. More, as in, dealing with more pain. This post isn’t about going into great detail about Hope’s health but how her brother was so kind on Monday.
I’d just made another appointment for Hope to see her pediatrician and knew she was going to have to give blood for lab work. She’s sick and tired of needles and shots so when I mentioned us going she broke down in tears. Isaac, being the kind and compassionate brother that he is, went into his room to get something, of which none of us knew. BTW, he’s just lost 2 of his last molars and received $2 from the ‘tooth fairy’ that very morning.
He emerged from his room and walked up to Hope. “Here,” as he handed her a dollar bill, “maybe you can buy something with mom after you are finished with your labs.” Hope graciously takes the dollar and he finishes with, “And remember…”, as he points to the words on the dollar bill that states In God We Trust.
Wow! From the mouth, and heart, of babes. Wiping a tear from my eye. So nice to see Jesus fruit coming from my little nephew!
I love my family, and my little brother. Thanks for sharing mom especially since I wasn’t present to share that moment.
So encouraged by you always, and by the gospel that is shared within our family. Yes, In God we trust.
