Sometimes when you go through something that devestating, you try to find ways to have hope and solace. One of the ways that we did that ,was thought up by little Amber. It was something special that we did whenever the kids would receive a balloon at a party or restaurant. The moment we got outside, and to the car, the kids would look to heaven, and give their balloons to Heather. It was such a simple, yet awesome act of faith and love, that gave us all hope in a time of grief.
That has always kept me aware of how powerful the faith of a child truly is. We certainly can learn so much from a child. I have learned my greatest lessons from my children.
What has a child in your life taught you?
this is great post. how sweet of Amber! it's very sad to hear about Heather and her Daddy. and i agree with you, when we go through something devastating, we ry to find ways to have hope and solace.
ReplyDeletei was teaching high school kids for five years...i've learned the most important lessons of life during those five years! Everyday with them is a miracle,a blessing from above, cause everyday i was learning something new from those kids.
That is beautiful - thanks for sharing it with us. :-)
