We live by faith and not by sight

For we live by faith and not by sight. ~2 Corinthians 5:7

Sometimes a long stretch will go by where it seems that things are quiet on the Abigail front.  No little reminders or big events, no nudges for steps to take on this front.  And in those times, I almost begin to wonder.  Is this still happening?  Did I miss a cue?  Are we still on the right path?

And just when the seed of doubt is about to grow, it seems a little something comes along as a reminder.  This time my husband asked late one night if I'd seen the orange card in our 5 year old son's room that had Abigail written on it. 

I hadn't, so the next day he found it for me.  My son proudly announced that he had written it himself.  "We were playing Santa, mama, and I was making presents for baby Abigail." 

Thank you, Lord, for those little reminders that make it easier to live by faith, even when it appears that nothing is happening from my perspective.
