A Praise Report
by Barbara Philbrook

Precious Breanna she's going into a body brace that will be on for a long time,
five to eight years to stop her spine from growing out of line.

Her shoulder is lop sided and her sternum is caved in,
and the sockets of her hips have both grown very  very thin.

There will be braces on both of her precious feet and up to her knees,
God be with her and bring her your kind comfort please.

The doctor said there will be surgery some time in the future not just now,
we will be fine though God will get us through some how.

This little darling also has asthma which makes it difficult to breath once in awhile,
but you should see God has given her the most beautiful smile.

Now some may think my title unappropriate or not quite in line,
how can it be a praise report her body crooked due to her spine?

I praise God because Doctors once told my daughter she was unable to conceive,
but anything is possible to those who believe.

I praise God that although the situation sounds terribly sad,
the Doctor's assure us the braces won't constrict her that bad.

I praise God that I can still  have her in my life,
I'd rather the problems we have than be without her and face that strife.

I praise God for her smile it can light the darkest day,
I praise God for the advances that the medical profession has had come it's way.

I praise God for the Bible and the strength reading it gives to me,
and for the Holy Spirit so that the truth in that Bible we'd see.

Yes this is a PRAISE Report about all of the Blessings God has bestowed upon me,
a Praise Report Praising Father Son and Holy Spirit all three!

We have a comforter and a promise that Praise brings victory,
and that is why I know in time all will be fine  you'll see.
