So Thankful

Yesterday Bella went to the eye Dr. for her regular 6 month check-up. It is an extensive appointment taking about 3 hours.  Her daddy is able to get off work to take her to these appointments.  Last year we found out she is severely near-sighted. She started wearing glasses last September. She has done so well with them, wearing them all the time. Her little glasses show how faithful she is to wear them all the time with marks and scratches to the lenses to prove it. This week while at pre-school, she was taking some trash to throw away and her foot slipped. She fell against the corner of the table and hit the outside corner of her eye. She has a little mark and a bruise on her eye lid.  Yesterday the Drs kept remarking how lucky she was because of where she hit on her face. They also said that her glasses saved her eye.  We know without a doubt that it was not luck that protected her. The Lord protected her and kept her from a terrible eye-injuring accident. We are so thankful.  This also reinforced in my heart how very important it is to continually pray for our little ones.  We may never know all the times the Lord has protected our sweet babies.
