A LESSON!

This sweet mother taught me a lesson as soon as I looked in her face.
Joyce is 30 years old,a mother of four children and now God blesses her with 3 more at once.Her husband is a poor fisherman.For some reason,the nurse who assists me in the ward with WIC ministry told me I had to go into the premature babies' room because there was a woman who needed me. I went in and there she was with her three babies in incubators,they were very tiny and lovely,Joyce is a poor woman,and very needy,BUT,she was very happy ,  the wide smile she had on her face and the joy was even in her voice,JOYCE WAS SO GRATEFUL AND THANKFUL TO GOD  for her babies.
While I kept on wondering how she was going to take care of these three angels and provide for them,Joyce seemed not to worry about anything,all she had was " Thank you God",WOW!
The Spirit of God whispered in my ears about being thankful to God in all things.

We talked and I prayed for Joy and her babies. she thanked me for praying for her babies.Joyce did not know that I was going to bring gifts for her and her babies,so when we later came back with Jeff (my husband) all loaded with gifts for Joyce and her babies,she could not believe her own eyes. Joyce was shouting,I had to try hard and make her control her voice because there were other mothers with sick babies there and the nurses were attending to them. Joyce then opens up and tells Jeff and I that,her babies didn't have clothes,no blankets,no sheets,they were jut wrapped in towels. She told us  this after she received the gifts which included three baby blankets that looked all the same,and baby sheets,baby clothes,baby soap,baby hats,baby socks, bibs,soap for her a Bible all packed in a pink bag,and milk for her babies ohhhhhh I was very glad to deliver that to her,and she was to happy to control her happiness.Well , I had seen the babies covered in towels and some of the mother's shawl I thought it was intended to keep them warm,less did I know that it was because these angels did not have clothes and blankets to use.
Joyce has no worries,only thanking God for remembering her,He sent clothes for her babies to keep warm.A lesson to learn.Thanking instead of worrying.
