Bonus

Today has replaced the previous best day of my life which was when I saw the F-35 Lightning perform a vertical take off and landing along with multiple fly by's by the blue angels at the Miramar air show in San Diego.

When life seems to be pretty depleted and God gives, its bonus. I've realized that ANYTHING more or new that Avery gains is purely a gift or bonus given by God to his broken body.

We often live life taking for granted our health, our standard of life, security, comfort, etc. When some of those are compromised and something as miraculous as God's designed smile is given, I can see God's beauty through a genuine laugh and smile from a child.

Being content with our current situation has been a difficult pill to swallow, but that just makes us ever the more grateful for anything else thats Bonus.

Avery smiled and laughed today for the first time in a month - it brought everyone to tears except for him.

Job 1:20-22

20 At this, Job got up and tore his robe and shaved his head. Then he fell to the ground in worship 21 and said:

“Naked I came from my mother’s womb,
    and naked I will depart.[a]
The Lord gave and the Lord has taken away;
    may the name of the Lord be praised.”

22 In all this, Job did not sin by charging God with wrongdoing.
