Through her struggles with a devastating cancer, Bella has continued to be an inspiration to everyone who meets her and even to those like myself who have never met her but read daily updates on her condition on Facebook. www.facebook.com/prayforbella
Recently, someone asked how they can live like Bella and here was her Mother's response:
Wear red.
Show compassion.
Pray for others.
Eat S'mores - especially those cooked on a pit
Belly laugh, really loud.
Sing at the top of your lungs.
See a show.
Play an instrument.
Sing Jesus songs.
Pray all the time.
Cuddle.
Take a bubble bath.
Say mmmmmm when something tastes really good.
"And He said, 'Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the Kingdom of Heaven.'" Matthew 18:2-4
Would that we could all go back to the innocent and pure way of looking at life and loving every day and every aspect of it. Would that we could see the world through the eyes of a child, finding joy in the amazing world we live in. We can. Every day when I wake and just bask in the joy of loving and being loved by God, I see the world and everything that happens in it through different eyes.
Precious Lord, Jehovah Rapha,
When we wonder why a precious child like Bella has to suffer so while she is here on earth, we realize that only through that journey has she been able to reach and touch so many with her beautiful innocence and love and lessons on how to live life. We ask special blessings on Bella and her amazing family who have chosen to share her special way of life with all of us so that we can learn from it what it is to find joy in each and every day.
Father, we thank You for sharing Your son with us so that we may learn how to live and how to love and how to be more like You every day.
Thank You, Father. Thank You.
In the precious name of Your Son and our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
Amen
