God is in control

I'm sitting here watching Grey's Anatomy and a mother is facing letting her child die. Of course I'm crying because I think of my own precious boys and can't even imagine how it would feel to face their death. I was quickly reminded that my step-dad had to see his son die very tragically 14 1/2 years ago, and a friend of mine delivered a baby that had already died just a year ago. There have been so many deaths since then, but those two stood out to me just now. I am so blessed by my beautiful boys that I am afraid to even think about what could ever happen to them. I have to continue to enjoy them each day because God has a plan and loves them even more than I do.
Anyway, I just had to try and express my love for my boys, but that seems impossible. It is overwhelming how I feel when I think about them.
By the way, my friend who lost her baby last year... I just brought her dinner because she has a very new little boy. God has a plan. We don't always understand it or like it, but He is in control.
