Sweet Serenity


Serenity saw Santa last night. When she was telling him what she wanted this is what she said:
 She doesn't care if she gets an iPad or anything else for Christmas. She wants her family all together and happy. 

We are going to try to  give her what she wants.

Psalm 34:18 The LORD is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit.

I've been spending a lot if time driving back and forth to Children's Hospital. Belle has had some issues with her port as well as her regular transfusion. 
She has an amazing strength. Daddy told her last night what a trooper she is. 
("Let's go back to Florida")
She really is. And Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh has been such a blessing to us. 
But not just to us they take care if so many others with bigger health problems than Belle. It is a real eye opener. 
There is so much suffering just beyond our own little circles. 
During this blessed season I encourage each if you to reach beyond your circle to be a blessing to someone else either in word or deed. 
And hug your loved ones a little tighter. 
I know I will.
