We planned a trip well in advance to make sure we had a weekend that worked for all of us. What I didn't think about was the possibility of having a young nursling when we would be gone. As it turns out, we were blessed with a happy baby boy who would be 2 months old while I would be on this trip.
As soon as he was born, I started pumping so that Adam would have milk for him while I was gone. Then I figured if I didn't pump enough, he could always buy formula to give him. But, this was the year 2022, when there was a formula shortage.
As the trip approached, and I didn't have the amount of milk pumped that I had originally planned on having for him, I began to worry. I knew a couple ladies who were also nursing. I reached out to one to see if she pumped at all and might be willing to share if worse came to worse, but she didn't pump.
A few days before I was supposed to leave, I was worrying about it and dwelling on it. Then I realized that there was a song playing in the back of my head: Table of Plenty.
Come to the feast of heaven and earth
Come to the table of plenty
God will provide for all that we need
Here at the table of plenty
It was then that I realized that God was talking to me, "Don't worry. I've got this."
But, sometimes God just really wants you to know that He's looking out for you (and your baby). Saturday evening, I received a text from Adam with a picture.
They sang it at mass! And I bet you can guess what song I was singing at mass the next morning too!
