"Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus." (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18)
You are such a strong and brave girl and I'd like to honor you for that.
The ordeal that you went through wasn't easy. I understand how hard it was for you to be confined in the hospital bed for five days but you were really a super trooper because in your difficulty you have shown resilience and optimism. True you did have moments of tantrums but generally you kept a joyful spirit. Which showed me a glimpse of what you will be in the future.
Your courage was truly amazing! You didn't cry when the needle for your dextrose was inserted. You kept still and all you said was, "That was hard, Mama." You hated the nebulizer but despite that you still allowed me to put it on you over and over again. That kind of character is what will carry you through when your heart is broken in the future.
Despite your weakening body and the inconvenience of staying in the hospital, you generally had a joyful spirit. You couldn't play with your hands so you played with your feet. You still exchanged banters with me and continued to join in adult conversations, still the same talkative you. But more importantly, you still had the audacity to laugh with your heart out. That kind of character is what will keep your feet grounded and your faith rooted when you fail.
You have such a strong faith. All throughout this ordeal you were the one who would always remind me to pray over you. You would always say, "Mama please pray over me." I am amazed that at three years old you already recognize the power of prayer. You inspired me to pray unceasingly and to keep the faith. That kind of character is what will make you endure when the world conspires against you.
I am thankful to God because you are what you are and I anticipate the future with excitement especially on how God will continue to mold you so you can be what He intended for you to be. Remain courageous, keep the joyful spirit and pray unceasingly. These character traits will be the foundation of the woman that we have yet to see.
With All My Love,
Mama
