Yesterday, right as I was getting ready for bed I heard Ben crying.  I had just gotten out of the shower, so I sent John.  Ben had already been asleep for a while and he usually will go right beck to sleep.  But this was not a usual night.  He had been sick and he had just gotten some shots from the doctor.  What followed was just the saddest thing.  I went into his room when the crying didn’t subside after a few minutes.  John handed him to me and said he has never seen him like this.

Well, I took my baby in my arms and he cried and cried and wiggled and wiggle.  He wouldn’t let me hold him.  He kept turning and twisting as though no position was comfortable.  I am the kind of person who thinks that the worst is happening.  I was sitting there watching him move trying to guess what it could be that was hurting him.  As I rubbed and comforted, he cried and only stopped twice in an hour and only for a few seconds.  If you know Ben, you know that he doesn’t cry like that.  I was beginning to get worried.

So, I said a prayer.  I had him laying in my lap in his diaper so I could have my hand rub right onto his back and belly.  After my prayer, I took him into the bedroom.  We sat on the bed and he started to cry a little less.  He found some comfortable positions with his head in my lap and was asleep within a half hour.   Oh what a blessing that was!!  I was just so happy that he calmed down and nothing was wrong.

That was the way the Lord touched our life yesterday.
