It always astounds me how God shows His beauty and sweetness in difficult times. This particular story showed me how He was not concerned as I was about this problem, but that He is so in control on that throne, that entertaining my baby was more of a priority to Him instead.
When my baby was 8 months old she developed a bad middle ear infection, which resulted in loads of crying, fevers, unwillingness to eat and obviously a lot of pain.
The first course of antibiotics never cleared the infection up, which the Doctors were puzzled about as it was a strong course.
So off we started on the second lot and I really prayed for a healing from God as I did not want to resort to grommets!
Everyday throughout the day, during work and whatever I was doing, I would silently pray for healing for my little one. One verse from Malachi 4:2 I find particularly beautiful is “…the Sun of Righteousness shall arise with healing in His wings…” and I always included it in my prayers. It really conjures up a beautiful picture in my head!
So, the one day, while playing with Jordan, she kept looking past me, upwards and laughing and smiling. When I looked to what she was focusing on, there was nothing there, just a blank wall! I remember thinking, ‘freaky’, but she obviously found something amusing. And I forgot about it.
That night, I had a dream. An angel came to me and said, “Jordan was laughing and smiling because Jesus was showing her what the wings look like!”
Isn’t that most beautiful? Here I was constantly worrying about an ear infection yet God was not the least bit concerned because He had it all under control – His Son did it all! He instead found joy in playing with Jordan! Hallelujah!
How I pray that I can model Christ in this way – to completely leave my troubles and burdens at His feet, and just be free to enjoy Christ for all He is. What a way to get through life’s troubles! While we sit and worry, He relaxes on His throne – we can find joy in His presence instead!
God has it all under control. Lets’ enjoy Him always!
Amen Jesus – thank You for my sweet memories!

My grandparents used to say that when a newborn smiles in her sleep, she is dreaming of angels and heaven.
Ah that’s sweet! 🙂
I wonder if it’s the same for adults, because my husband has caught me many times laughing in my sleep haha 😉
I agree completely with you. If we could just lay it all down and just enjoy our fellowship with the LORD, we would be so much better off! Thank you! Love you! 🙂
Thanks Toni..seems I’m a born and bred worry-wort, so it is constantly something I pray over *sigh* 🙂

What a beautiful story! God truly does have it all under control. Thank you, Lord!!
What a beautiful story!! Your little one smiling and laughing at Jesus that whole time! That’s a story you’ll have to tell her as she grows older. What a blessing!
Yes, I can’t wait to see her expression! 😀
🙂
What a powerfull reminder for me that joy, being a fruit of the Spirit, is not something that I “work up,” or “will” myself to have, but it is something He alone, produces in me, (along with peace, patience love etc.) as I simply abide in Him and His love. (John 15:5) Simply abide. What a privilege we have in that! Thank you KIT. May God bless your day, as you have blessed mine!
I couldn’t have said it better Peg! Thank you!
Praise Jesus for His tender mercies! Awesome story, thank you for sharing it:) God bless sister!
Altogether lovely 🙂
“Showing her what wings look like…” Now if that don’t beat all! We get so wrapped up in this world that we easily forget about the one to come. No wonder we’re supposed to keep our minds focused on things above.
Thank you for sharing this wonder-filled story. It certainly helped to adjust my perspective today!

Yes I fear helps me quickly forget about focusing on the things unseen! Thanks Tami, so glad 🙂
