Faith on Christmas day

Its 4:oo a.m in the morning December 26 and I just can't sleep. Christmas Morning my little guy wasn't looking good and not holding down food, he looked really pale and he was lethargic. I brought him in to ER only to find out that his blood sugar dropped to a dangerous low of 35 as an emergency precaution they gave him a lot of glucose in his iv, this had a negative effect and shot his blood sugar up to a dangerous high of 495. At this point I was in tears asking the doctor what next. She tried consoling me letting me know that he was so low that it could have cause brain damage so they had to get it high as soon as possible. She was talking about admitting him into ICU due to the numbers being so extreme, shortly after his numbers dropped to 350 so he was admitted to standard pediatrics. He started waking up and talking, his words to me were " Mommy I'm missing Christmas" I told him baby your not missing it we can have Christmas here. His Grammy and Grandpa came and brought him presents which cheered him right up we had music playing as he watched his little buzz lightyear dance to the music. Then we put Elf on and laughed and laughed. He finally fell asleep. I truly can't get over the strength God gives to his children. My sweet little Angel is only 5 years old and has had about 9 surgeries and been in the hospital about 20 times, and he is always a trooper. How can I not be strong with seeing how strong he is. Honestly today I grew very weary and broke down several times just weeping, crying out to God "Lord please can we have a break" It's Christmas can we just have this day" Then I got to thinking Jesus suffered continually for our souls sake. He loved us dearly and suffered day to day so that we could have eternal life. He has given us something that we could never repay. I will never have regret, I may wonder why and have a brief moment of pain but God gives me the strength to get through this. I feel his love and peace and at the same time I know it's ok to cry. I'm very blessed with a beautiful family that I love so much and I know God has some great things planned for us. I will never let any of this be in vain and will use it for his Honor and Glory. Over 5 years ago they told me my son didn't have a fighting chance and he's alive today touching many. I have Faith on this Christmas day and I will continue to have faith always as God is always seeing me through. May you find strength through your time of need. Turn your trials into a testimony to share with someone hurting today. We all face many trials in life it's what you do through those trials that can make an impact in someones life today.
