I deeply appreciate each one of your comments from yesterday’s post. I covet your prayers, not just for me, but for the families and individuals mentioned.
Today my friend’s son had a second test which confirmed the news no one wanted. Saving the long details, her 7 year old son will need to go on heart medication for a condition her husband has had open heart surgery for… We all just want a miraculous healing.
And yet it seems that in the midst of sorrow and pain - joy is born. Literally.
My very dear friend’s daughter was born yesterday - healthy and without complication despite the possibility that the baby may have had Downs. I didn’t get the message until this morning. I cried. And then cried more… but with a heart of joy. My friend and her husband decided not to pursue further testing - their daughter would be their much adored and precious daughter… no matter…
And then… today, another friend had her healthy daughter.
2 healthy baby girls! 2! In 2 days!!!
*** Psst… come closer… but if I can be completely honest, I am glad it’s THOSE families with a newborn and not me! I am really enjoying sleeping through the night! ***
Again, thank you for taking the time to share words of encouragement… for taking time to share and love and pray.
My head has been spinning. My house is a wreck. I am more behind than ever on feed-reading :)… And my email inbox is bursting at the seams.
Yet my kids and I have been to the park 3 days in a row - to play and soak up the sun… instead of clean… and the bills are paid through the end the month.
:)
Well it all sounds great. Glad you are having fun.
Hiya, stranger danger.
I say to heck with the housework. The way the weather has been around here these past couple of months, take advantage of the sun while you can!!!
Sounds like your priorities are in order!
Sounds like my month. I hope all the good news in light of what everyone has been through, will lift you all up.
Have a wonderful weekend, ejoying all of that good stuff that life is made of.
Life is good, Sweetie!
Jenny,
I wish we could get coffee or a glass of wine and just hang out. I’d love to know you. Obviously your post resonated with a lot of us readers/friends. I so desperately want to share the daily sadness I feel at the loss of my brother and the subsequent chaos and uprooting that is happening to my family - but I just don’t have the words. It’s just too personal. And I’m still waiting to believe. I hate “knowing” the truth about God but not being able to “believe” it. Of course, I praise God even in this suffering because without I could not know more of his goodness, faithfulness, mercy, grace, etc. - it just seems sometimes to much endure. Anyway, what a refreshing side of you to read. More of it would be fine by me.
Oh! And do call your friend. All you have to say is, “I was just thinking of you and wanted you to know that you are in my thoughts.” The rest of the conversation will take care of itself.
Who needs a clean house when you’re at the park, right?!
I’ve got some lovin’ for you over at my blog - come and get it!
I’m late to the game, but I’m glad you had such love & encouragement. I want a miraculous healing for your friend’s son as well.
And clean house? What in the heck is that?
