If I may recommend...

I love when friends recommend a book or a song to me! So, while I'm here at LeBonheur, holding this sleepy little boy, I thought I might recommend a book and a song. (yes, I am blogging from my phone, with only one hand!)

Before I was admitted to the hospital, a dear friend, who knew our situation, gave me this book. She told me to have a box of tissue close by while I read it. Well, I was not in the best emotional state at the time, so I set in on our kitchen counter to read one day when things were better. Well, fast forward twelve weeks later. I am rocking Harper and I'm wanting to read another book to her so I grab the book my friend gave me. Sure enough, I could barely read the last few pages because I was crying so hard. Please, if you have never read "The Tale of Three Trees," run to your local library and check out this book. Better yet, just go buy it for your personal library. You will not be sorry! I regret not reading it sooner.




And now for a song...

I was driving this morning to get coffee and heard this song! It's beautiful. I have no idea how old this song is, but I wanted to share the lyrics. I'm a lyrics person! :)

Blessings by Laura Story

"We pray for blessings, we pray for peace
Comfort for family, protection while we sleep
We pray for healing, for prosperity
We pray for Your mighty hand to ease our suffering

All the while, You hear each spoken need
Yet love us way too much to give us lesser things

Cause what if Your blessings come through raindrops?
What if Your healing comes through tears
What if a thousand sleepless nights
Are what it takes to know You’re near?

What if trials of this life
Are Your mercies in disguise?

We pray for wisdom, Your voice to hear
We cry in anger when we cannot feel You near
We doubt Your goodness, we doubt Your love
As if every promise from Your Word is not enough

And all the while You hear each desperate plea
And long that we'd have faith to believe

Cause what if Your blessings come through raindrops
What if Your healing comes through tears?
What if a thousand sleepless nights
Are what it takes to know You’re near?

And what if trials of this life
Are Your mercies in disguise

When friends betray us, when darkness seems to win
We know the pain reminds this heart
That this is not, this is not our home
It's not our home

Cause what if Your blessings come through raindrops
What if Your healing comes through tears?
And what if a thousand sleepless nights
Are what it takes to know You’re near?

What if my greatest disappointments
Or the aching of this life
Is the revealing of a greater thirst
This world can’t satisfy?

And what if trials of this life
The rain, the storms, the hardest nights
Are Your mercies in disguise?"


It's just a beautiful song!


I LOVE reading and singing to H&H! I would love to hear some of your children's book or song recommendations! :).
