God hath not promised skies always blue,
Flower strewn pathways all our lives through;
God hath not promised sun without rain,
Joy without sorrow, peace without pain.
Refrain
But God hath promised strength for the day,
Rest for the labor, light for the way,
Grace for the trials, help from above,
Unfailing sympathy, undying love.
God hath not promised we shall not know
Toil and temptation, trouble and woe;
He hath not told us we shall not bear
Many a burden, many a care.
Refrain
God hath not promised smooth roads and wide,
Swift, easy travel, needing no guide;
Never a mountain rocky and steep,
Never a river turbid and deep

precious precious child….
so much does not make sense….
No God does not promise peace without pain….. it just
stinks that is the little ones who seem to suffer so much….

Oh she is beautiful, I just want to wrap her up and love her. Feed her and give her comfort. Pray and sing to her and take away her pain. I see babies like her in the nicu where I work getting special treatment from the moment they are born. I pray for Haiti to get to that point some day. Your pictures are always moving to me and I love to see them but this one made me literally touch the computer screen and cry and pray for her.
Thank you again for sharing everything with us.

Wishing for a little bit of strength for today … as I am sure you are … and wishing that tomorrow would be better.
Prayers for you and this baby.
