Thank you for this. I’m amazed that you were able to include thoughts from today’s sermon, even! Maybe you benefit from week-prior previews around the dinner table like I do. But this is the first year I’ve started to understand the significance of the sign at Cana. I also have my pastor to thank - God bless them! - and will be thinking this week on “Do whatever He tells you.”

I’m sorry to hear your youngest has eczema. We have one child for whom it was so severe, and it was just a constant struggle of feeling out of control and failing as a mother. I did not handle that trial very well except by dressing his wounds with ointment, tears, and prayers. Your entire post makes me think of that feeling - entrusting my child to God.

Thank you for the beautiful story of your oldest. What a blessing it must be to have that perspective in your eyes as you raise the littlest. It truly blessed me, as well.

The light of Christ shines upon and through you, Emily.

We got that Third Gift book in the last year - it's beautiful.
