Ang told me about this video yesterday, and it really affected me. . . . so, I wanted to share it with you and then have you write your 1 or 2 sentence first response in the comments. . . what did you get out of it?
I saw a picture of the beauty of love, and how the ultimate Provider of love cherishes each and every day.
Thank you for this Ted.
A very well done piece. I loved the part about the cards where the baby was laying on all the cards. Happiness is all about your outlook. This family realizes that. I have been blessed with a healthy family and I praise God for that.
Wow–How Jesus shows up in such a bundle of LOVE !!Are we There to REALLY
APPRECIATE!! Really makes us think!!
emotions beyond what mere words can express
Thanks Ted
When watching this video I can’t help but smile at this little boy. Even though his life was cut short by a diesease, you can still see God in this little boys eyes.
I feel so blessed to have a healthy family who loves me like these parents love Eliot.
Well.. to be honest I am pretty speechless. I had seen that before, but today was a great day to see it again! It just encourages me and keeps me confident that God’s plan for me is helping those blessings from heaven, whether they’re young or old, and whether they live for 100 years, or just a week. Each day, God reveals to me another reason why His plan for me is Nursing! Today was just extra special reminding me that even through the tough times that may come in that field, we should rejoice, and live for the day, because no one knows when the day will come when that blessing will be gone! What a great impact this will have on my day! Thanks Ted! =o]

I know it’s about a baby boy named Eliot, but it helps me deal with losing Liz.
The parents were on Oprah yesterday and they showed this video. It makes me realize, once again, how precious our time is with the ones we love. I guess one blessing for them is that they knew this ahead and never wasted a second. They got to love, appreciate and enjoy more time with him than most of us probably do rushing through all of the ‘have to’ things in daily life. When asked if she was sad when she found out, she said she would be sad later; she wanted to love on him for the time he was with them.
On a wonderful ending note—-the are expecting again and very excited.
Again…I feel more of a call to go back to school also….yep, Nursing.
This shows to me what having God behind you can do. Not only did that boy outlive the doctors expectations, but it was able to pull that family through hard times when he passed.
It was very touching and brought tears to my eyes. I could see peace in the babies eyes that only God can place there. What a blessing!
I have a baby in hospice service now with this disorder. Beautiful piece. I can’t stop crying as I hold my sweet baby in my arms.
I love the fact that this precious life was celebrated daily. Reminds me how critical it is to celebrate the people in my life daily and to have honoring relationships in which I feel celebrated as well. It’s a clear portrait for me of how much God rejoices and celebrates our life – Daily, despite the grief we create sometimes. I love serving a God who knows how to celebrate!
Thank you all for your responses. . . and I just wanted to say a special thank you to Christen – I do not know who you are, but you have given me a tremendous gift. . . I pray that God comforts and brings peace to you and your family during this extremely difficult time when there are so many questions that do not have satisfying answers . . .
Thank you for all your up to date information, it is appreciated.
