"I have cared for you since you were born. Yes, I carried you before you were born. I will be your God throughout your lifetime--until your hair is white with age. I made you, and I will care for you. I will carry you along and save you." Isaiah 46:3-4
The author talks about how we can be carried along and saved by God. That's what we should all want for our children and grandchildren. He talked about carrying his children and how much he treasured those moments even though he felt limited by his own strength-or lack thereof. But God's arms are strong-strong enough to carry each of us.

Each of us can probably remember a time when we had to carry a sleeping or sick child and how much love we had for our baby. It doesn't change, no matter how old they get. Our prayer today is that God will continue to carry them, loving them because He has made them.
Our prayer is that He will continue to carry them, even when we are no longer around, and that He will love them till their final days here on earth.
I think this impacted me because, just the other day when I
was taking care of my granddaughter when she wasn’t feeling well and she had to go with my to
my dr. appt., she was feeling pretty tough when we got home. I unbuckled her
car seat and she reached her arms around my neck and said, “Grandma, carry me.”
It was almost too much, as she is getting
so big (she's 6), but I would not have said no. As I carried her into the house and into
her bed, I thought of all the other times I had carried her, and carried each
one of my kids and my grandkids at some point. What a blessing. So I am
thankful for God allowing me to do that for my kids and grandkids. And I truly
do pray that He will continue to carry each one of one of them, all the way home.
It also became personal as I have been thinking a lot about/and praying for my daughter who had her second ankle surgery yesterday and the fact that someone (her cat) that she
counted on to comfort her in her recuperation was not there. So I have been
praying that she will be comforted by GOD, who is better than any animal in
providing the care and love we so much need.
