God answered our prayer

One morning last week, Mckenna and I were sitting at the kitchen table and I was feeding Addie. The song, Jesus Will Meet You There, by Steven Curtis Chapman was playing and this conversation took place:

Mc: Mom, what is this song about?
Me: It means when really hard things happen to us in this life, that God will help us, He will meet us...like when Alivia died. God helped us. Or when someone is really sick and the doctors say there is no medicine for them and they will die. God says He will help them (referencing the lyrics in the song).
Mc: You remember when Alivia died, I prayed? I prayed and asked God for another baby for you. I prayed so much, mom. And God gave us another baby...He gave us Bippers. God answered my prayer, mom!

With tears in my eyes, she gave me a big hug. I have recently been especially aware of the blessing of Adelyn in our lives. Sometimes it seems so surreal that we have walked through what we did, that I was pregnant again and now have another beautiful little girl. That God really did answer our prayers so quickly for another little baby girl is testament to His mercy. Never will she replace, but she has helped soothe the aching in my heart. And just yesterday I was thinking that the Lord knew how hard this past year was going to be and having this little one, has been more of a blessing than I probably am aware of or could adequately communicate. God has indeed been merciful to me.
