Thank You Lord for my Children

Hello my friends! How was your fourth of July Celebration? Mine was wonderful! My youngest son turned fifteen yesterday.He was only 40 minutes shy of being an Independence Day Baby! So we always celebrate his birthday at the same time we celebrate our freedom! That makes for an awesome combination! Time goes by so quickly.Seems just like yesterday,I held my little 6 pound,7 ounce baby in my arms.He was a fighter from the start. The Lord told me to name him Caleb,and his name matches him perfect! I was in labor with him for over 72 hours of hard labor.The doctor was off playing golf,and they realized after we both almost died that the cord was wrapped around his neck.They finally did an emergency cesearian and his lungs collapsed. They rushed him to Saint Francis and all I got to do was touch his little arm through a hole in the incubator he was transported in. I was in such bad health that i had to remain in the hospital for two more weeks. I did not get to even hold him until he was over three weeks old. The doctors told us that he would have to remain in the intensive care unit at least 6 months. We prayed for him and in 4 weeks time he was coming home! He was a fighter! Just like Caleb in the Bible who was one of the only two children of Israel that believed the good report that God told them about the Promised Land. The other spies said,"Oh,yes the land is full of fruit and as wonderful as you have said,but there are giants that are guarding it,and there is no way we can defeat them!" Caleb and Joshua were the two that said,"We are more than able to possess the land that God has promised us!" My son has been a fighter and a believer from the time he was born. When others tell him he cannot do something,he works extra hard to show them that with God's help,nothing is impossible! When I was pregnant with him,every ultrasound showed that he was a girl. But the very last one showed him as the man in Christ that God had created. Caleb is a joy to every one that is around him. He loves his family and God more than anything in this world.I thank God every day for my children. My oldest son Jacob is also a very anointed talented man of God that has been called to preach and praise for the Lord.Every instrument he picks up,he learns very easily and quickly. He loves his brother very much. God knew that they needed each other in the road of life ahead. I am expecting and patiently awaiting the little girl that God promised to me. And when she comes along,I have no doubt that her big brothers will love and protect her as only brothers can. God is wonderful! His blessings can never compare to anything satan can offer us. I thank him and praise him continually,and I encourage you to do the same. Look around you and your life,and I guarantee that you will be able to make a whole list of things to thank him for! God Bless you all,until next time! Love and Blessings,"Dr. Sunshine"
