My God, How I Praise Thee

My Lord, I praise you.
I have doubted. I have had times of darkness. But always, the light reminds me immediately of my faith.

There have been dark times but they have disappeared, My God. My sweet Cayleigh stuck her tongue out a couple times tonight. She winced up her face as if to cry... and then, she hiccuped. Lord thank you for her sweet little soul. thank you for the poopy diaper I was able to change. Thank you for the warmth of her skin. Thank you for her pink skintone and low jaundice levels. Thank you for her perfect little fingers and toes. Thank you for her outty belly button. Thank you Lord God that she is able to breathe with just oxygen assistance. Thank you that they turned the oxygen off for several seconds to reconnect it and her O2 levels stayed high on their own. Thank you for nurses who care for my sweetheart when I cannot. Thank you for a husband who adores his daughter, our 3 other children & wife. Thank you for your merciful sacrifice on the cross through which my daughter is healed. Thank you for Cayleighs bowels and kidneys that flush urine and poo through her little body with no assistance & perfectly. Thank you for her beautiful eyes that she keeps open so much longer now when we're together. Thank you Lord that I can speak to my baby girl about you. Lord thank you that when we leave the NICU with our perfectly healthy Cayleigh the nurses, doctors, other parents and anyone else around will know of You and give you the Glory. Thank you that my daughter likes it when I sing to her. Lord thank you that she opens her eyes and tenses her body when she & I talk to you. God thank you for a baby whose heart is performing all on its own and perfect. Father I thank you for a baby who is holding her body temperature well. God thank you for Cayleighs little arms that move every so often. Thank you for her hiccups and sneezes..they brighten my day. Thank you Lord for every hair on her head and for her being here to bless us. Father, thank you for her complete healing of which I claim in your name & with all authority through you over my Cayleigh Jean. Lord, I thank you for Cayleighs continued progress. I thank you for her beautiful spirit. I thank you that you would choose me to be her mother. I thank you that you are a good, good God.
