Today is one of those days where I'm just feeling emotional about all the blessing God bestows upon his people. I mean isn’t our Father Awesome! Isn't he Excellent! (Those aren’t questions) As I woke this morning I had a song in my heart. I’d have more than a song in my heart I had a voice but I'm getting over a mild case of the flu "Thank the LORD!!" I was watching this reality show; really kind of weird that my husband recorded. Contestants on this reality program went to a Children's Hospital in Nashville and participated in music therapy with some seriously ill children. Well there was a scene where a mother was sobbing. She was told that her baby was not going to make it through the night. She was devastated and her sob tore though my heart. I was watching it feeling awful on a variety of levels. On one level there were several children going though debilitating and terminal illness and I felt they were being exploited for a meaningless television show. Secondly the children themselves by the deteriorating condition of their bodies expressed most definitely the seriousness of their lives situations. The grave pending outcomes were clear. I have children and it hit me in the gut that these parents were in the midst of some of the darkest days of their lives. As a mother how could you not feel this? However as I sat feeling emotionally distraught about the dying baby the show ended. The host of the show came in at the end and expressed that the baby that was not expected to make it though the night made a miraculous full recovery and was back at home with her parents. Praise God. Placing my hands in the air I just had to praise the Lord as tears welled up in my eyes. Isn't it wonderful that God can utilize a goofy reality show to reiterate to who ever is listening that He is STILL in control! God continues showing up and intervening in our situations making the seemingly impossible, possible. When they made that show they could never have known what the larger picture was going to be. Imagine how many people witnessed this miracle when all they thought they were getting was some mindless entertainment. Ain’t God Great!!!
