Sweet Innocence of a Child

After returning home from a long sleepless night at the hospital, my 6-year-old nephew woke Dan and I from nap.  He ran upstairs to our bedside and gave us a hug.  With a smile on his face he said, "I heard about your baby Noah."  His innocence was touching.

My nephew smiled, because he knew that Noah was in heaven.  He was happy for Noah because he knew Jesus was taking good care of his cousin.   

So, it was in this moment that I too needed to remember to be happy for Noah and smile because he is with Jesus.  During these valleys in our lives, Dan and I will cling to our child-like faith and remember all that is good and faithful.
