Are you a brave little soldier?

Good Afternoon to all my little buddies!!!!! Let me tell you about my week. On Wednesday, my daughter, Charissa had to go to the Doctor's office to have a check-up because she is going away to college in the Fall( sniff-sniff) When we got there she found out she had to get 2 shots and a TB test-another poke. And then today she had to go get blood work done( O my goodness!!!!!) I kept telling her to be a "brave little soldier", because her big sister Laura had to have 30 surgeries by the time she was Charissa's age, 17. Laura is a very special girl......You would Love her if you met her, because she is so very kind and compassionate. The really neat thing is that someday very soon, Laura is going to be a Nurse and probably one of the best nurses around!!!If you were getting shots, Laura would be so gentle you would' nt even feel it. If you were sad , she would cry with you. If you were afraid, she would quietly pray for you and tell you "it's going to be okay". Do you remember our Bible story about Joseph and his "coat of many colors"? Lots of bad things happened to him, but the Bible said that " Joseph's heart Trusted in the Lord". And after many trials God Blessed Joseph and he became the King's helper!!!! Joseph said " What Satan meant for evil, God has used for good" It's kind of like that with Laura. She is one of the "bravest little soldiers" I know and I truely believe that God has prepared her through all her difficulties to do the job He has called her to " a nurse". So if you have to go to the Doctor's office this summer, remember to be Brave, Jesus is with you ( and remember Laura, the brave little soldier and Charissa, too!!!!) I Love You...........Mrs. Ellis
