When A Book Isn't Just a Book

Tonight as I was reading our bedtime book which turned into four books :) it amazes me that a kids book can bring you to tears. We have a few that do that. Tonight we read The Tiniest Snowflake. It is about a tiny snowflake who doesn't want to be different and how each snowflake serves a purpose. We received the book before we even knew John had any issues. He and Sam serve such a purpose in this life. Even though John is different from all of our friends children. He does serve a purpose. God has a plan for all of us. I just pray that Todd and I can instill that pride in John and make sure he knows how special he is. The other book we read is The Littlest Angel. When I read it to him while I was carrying him I never realized that it would be anything other than a cute story. As we are faced with John's mortality it makes it difficult to read the book. But he loves it so we do. Thank you God for allowing Sam to be healthy and thank you for allowing us one more day with John.
