teeth

At the dentist yesterday, Isabel had no cavities and Lily had eight. Her front tooth is infected and must be pulled. I love my Lilybug. I don't want them to pull her front tooth. "She's going to look like a hillbilly for the next two years!" said Lee. I agree. I'd rather the dentist not pull it, and I hate that she has to go through the procedure, as common as it may be.

Lord, this is so small. And yet my mother's love and compassion for her is so big, bigger than most anything. I pray that I will be a comfort to her, and that the dentist will act as conservatively as possible. It's such a small thing to worry about! There are so many problems in the world--this is minor.

Lord, please speak to me.

  1. Ah, you get to embrace the south.

    So sorry your daughter has to go through that. Nothing is minor to God. Isn't that cool? Hopefully she (and you) will recover. And thankful for dentist who protect in the first place.
