Do-Gooders

I haven't read the book this interview refers to, but I was struck by the implications of the topic for Christians.

"They don't feel that they have a choice about whether they should help others or not." Those are words which should be used to describe every single Christ-follower. Every Christ-follower should be known as a do-gooder in some way. Clearly God calls each of us to look and walk differently, but a love of Christ and love for others should be a fairly defining characteristic to the world.

Help In Time of Need

Just saw this article: http://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2015/10/06/446380693/hospitals-still-dont-give-moms-enough-support-for-breast-feeding

I was overwhelmed with the reminder of how helpful and supportive the lactation consultants at Baptist East were for Noah and I. This free service from qualified, kind, and dedicated women meant so much to us in Noah's first weeks and months. I hope to write more about this on my blog sometime so I don't forget the experience I had, but basically we had a very rough start and, miracle of miracles, he's almost 18mos and still nursing a few times a day.

Thankful for the services and support we were provided from our hospital, pediatrician, and family and friends.
