Miracle: He Never Quit

This is Samuel LJ Burrell,
My son. Born one pound and eleven ounces. Three months in the hospital.
He fought off death from the womb. He stopped breathing a 100 times and
100 times God commanded life back into him. 100% healthy today. I'm so
Thankful. He is my joy! Thankful, Thankful, Thankful!

What a beautiful baby boy, Hammer. You are so blessed. These precious spirits are trusted to our care. What a heart wrenching experience for you as a father and for her as a mother. So tiny! So helpless. God commanded life back into him so many times for a reason. He is going to bless your life and you are going to bless his. This is a miracle. I will give thanks and offer prayers as well.

It's amazing that little babies with such little bodies can be signs of such obvious miracles. I'm so glad that he made it through okay. :)

Praise... thankfulness... words that seem so inadequate in the face of emotion that is beyond words - especially when it comes to children and the miracle they are.
Samuel - a name God has been known to speak out loud!
