I sat up late last night, perched on the edge of the bed of a boy with a toothache. Pain, most severe when lying down, has nagged him awake far too many nights of late. Even after his sobs had calmed and the hot compress tucked securely around his jaw, I lingered. I tugged my fingers through his thick blonde hair and whispered words of comfort over his sleepy form.
Eyes grew heavy, both his and mine, and I returned to my bed, one ear open for his cries, imploring me to return. But they didn't come. Not then or an hour or three hours. A blessed night of peace and comfort was given.
And I'm so thankful.
For he grants sleep to those he loves. Psalm 127:2
And I'm so thankful.
I am so glad that peace came to you and your son so you both could get some sleep. We had our own thing last night with Aaron. He started yesterday afternoon with a fever and then had some relief during dinner and after dinner the headache and fever returned with such pain he felt he was not going to make it although I assured him he would be fine. I gave him some pain medicine and laid him on the bed still pain pretty bad so I laid beside him and prayed for God's peace to come to him and God answered my prayer and he fell asleep at 7:30PM and slept till almost 6AM. Thank you Jesus for the peace for both of us and for you guys too! God is awesome!!
