Her finger is still swollen, but not bleeding and the bright pink of infection is receding, thank God. <br /><br />And Lidj--you haven't lived till you have genuine andouille gumbo!

It was shed for the remission of sins, every drop precious.<br /><br />Great post, and I pray your daughter's owie heals up quickly!Deborah Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14415814125499548149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-144235032583435175.post-34028393443135790542009-12-08T17:30:25.755-08:002009-12-08T17:30:25.755-08:00My heart aches with you as I read your posts.

So nurturing.<br /><br />I can't imagine what it must've been like trying to keep infection from setting in as well as try to contain the blood.<br /><br />I'll give you a tip--if you don't already know. Peroxide works GREAT on removing blood from fabrics and clothing.Lauren Delainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06992185662542598747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-144235032583435175.post-33858509374726861072009-12-07T22:42:20.557-08:002009-12-07T22:42:20.557-08:00Jennifer, I'm back in my hometown after spendi...Jennifer, I'm back in my hometown after spending ten days or so in Manila. I'm visiting a few blog friends this afternoon, and yours is the first one on my list. <br /><br />The posts I have read have ranged from a leisurely nature's walk, to teaching a child the proper way to say thanks, taking pictures with a heart like Mary... and then this latest one, your thoughtful reflection on the bloodstains on Mary's dress.<br /><br />Mary the mother is Jesus is one of my three most favorite women (the two others being Mary Magdalene and Mary of Bethany!) in the Bible.<br /><br />I have never thought of Mary having to deal with her son's bloodstains. How you felt about Amelia's cut fingers is not strange to me. My three children have had their own bloody episodes. And in their growing up years. their wounds are not often physical, but emotional. I bleed with them as they learn to cope with life's hurts. How often I had wished that I could change places with them when such events take place in their lives. <br /><br />I am sure Mary must have felt the same way. How beautiful Mary's example is to us mothers. Her quiet and gentle heart...<br /><br />Thank you for sharing your thoughts. The journey is the destination. How true this is. The building of our character takes place while we are actually living out our lives, on the job training for heaven! Pondering, treasuring valuable lessons in our hearts, accepting, not complaining, not grumbling, not demanding... learning to be thankful.<br /><br />A lifetime is not enough for all the lessons heaven wants us learn!<br /><br />Thank you for sharing what you are learning with us. I was a school principal for 18 years before I retired... and teaching is one of my passions. But I am also a passionate learner. I can see that in you too. After all, we have nothing to teach unless we first learn it ourselves.<br /><br />Blessings on your day, dear friend. I hope Amelia's fingers will heal beautifully...and that the scars will always remind you of what the Father has taught you through that bloody episode.<br /><br />(By the way, I've looked up what andouille gumbo is, just for curiosity. I might try to make it one of these days!)<br /><br />Love<br />LidjCrown of Beautyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08993686012020045284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-144235032583435175.post-29434808340320641482009-12-04T09:15:01.085-08:002009-12-04T09:15:01.085-08:00Oh, my goodness!
