Given and Taken Away

I have a new nephew. He is perfect and beautiful and precious. I got to hold him in my arms and cry and kiss him. I can't wait to get to know this little fella. I couldn't be happier for my sister and her husband.

Yet as I cuddled the little guy yesterday there was a certain element of

"How I wish that you were
growing older
with your head upon my shoulder" (lyrics by my dh)

Followed by

"Your love is enough" (my dh)

"You give and take away
You give and take away
My heart will choose to say
Lord, blessed be your name" (Tree 63)

Amy, thank you for being so transparent and vulnerable--I relate with everything you went through. My second pregnancy was a miscarriage and it was one of the most difficult seasons of my life. The song by Tree 63 would resound in my head as well. He gives and takes away but my heart chooses to say, "Lord, blessed be your name!"
