Loss and Gain

While at the hospital with Jake I lost:

track of the time

count of the various doctors and specialists involved in his case

the remembrance of what day it was at times

5 pounds the hard way

many hours of sleep

While at the hospital I gained:

precious time with my adult son

a greater appreciation for the doctors and surgeons in Jake's past

a better understanding of Jake's overall heart health

relief

a greater appreciation of how grown up my youngest son has become and how reliable he is

the prayers and support of God's people

a thankful heart full of praise

a greater reliance upon and increased love for Christ

a settled peace
