Noah is 11 months old and for those of you with child rearing experience know this means teeth cutting time and Noah is waist deep in this stage.
He has cut 2 teeth in 2 days, and 3 teeth over the past week. Needless to say this has made for some less then ideally fun days for him. This right of passage for Noah got me thinking about how teeth cutting is for most children the first real glimpse of how life can be. He must be thinking 'what is up here and why do i have this ouchy in my mouth.. help me mama!!' but along with this pain is a good side that when his teeth are finally finished he will have a beautiful toothed smile and be able to enjoy eating better things -like PIZZA! So The Father starts us quite young with our learning, and for all of us this process never ends, although for some people we believe it has. As for me, my most recent bout with pain leading to good things came just last week. I had a bout with the flu and had a couple of tough days, but through it all there were good things. Seeing the love of Cherene taking care of me, running for cool wash rags and trips to town for Gatorade and many other things. Another good thing was the love of our Father giving me healing another time in my life from a sickness that many years ago and still to this day claims the life of many. Still another good thing, I was able to return to work this week and be welcomed back by coworkers that told me they missed me. I for one hope I never get to hard to not see the good in all things and I pray the same for you my son and give this little bit of wisdom..hang in there Noah this to shall pass.
