It's so easy for ...These are such excellent points. It's so easy for me to forget and take for granted all of the blessings in my life. My child is almost a teenager and she has never once been seriously ill nor has she ever had to spend a night in the hospital since we left the hospital when she was born.<br><br>I had to stop breastfeeding earlier than I wanted to because I became quite ill and had to go on medication that permeated my breastmilk and made it unsafe for my daughter to continue feeding that way. I was very disappointed because I had this idea that, Allah willing, I was going to breastfeed my baby all the way until she was four years old. However, that was not in Allah's plan.<br><br>But now that she is older, I can see how Allah has given my daughter all of the blessings that I hoped breastfeeding would provide. I was putting faith in my own ability to provide for her instead of placing it where it truly belongs.<br><br><i>For He it is who, after creating the earth,<br>placed firm mountains on it, towering above its surface,<br>and bestowed so many blessings on it, and equitably apportioned its means of subsistence to all who would seek it: and all this He created in four aeons.</i>bint alshamsahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00658169355503798587noreply@blogger.com
