Psalm 145:8

Psalm 145:8 was Grace's Bible verse last week and it ever rang in my ears these past few days.

"The Lord is gracious and full of compassion."

Saturday evening Gracie complained of her tooth hurting her...Sunday morning, her face was very swollen and she was in pain. We rushed over to the urgent care and the doctor decided to start an IV along with oral antibiotics. He said it was a dental abscess and it was traveling rapidly up her face. By Sunday evening, her poor little face was so swollen that it was difficult for her to see out of her left eye.

She received several long IV drips, had a tooth drilled without Novocaine and eventually had the tooth pulled by Tuesday. Gracie did not complain or say she was in pain. She was a trooper through it all.

These past few days have taught us to lean on the Lord deeper, trust in Him for peace and rely on His strength and healing hand. So many people have showered Grace with love and prayers and we are so grateful.

Praise the Lord that He is so gracious and full of compassion. Grace is feeling well again. Thank you for your prayers and concern!

(P.S. This picture was taken before her face got really swollen. Her doll had a pretend IV too.)
