Time flies...

It is amazing that Timothy was born two weeks ago today. So much has happened since that day, and we are settling into a new routine of nighttime feedings and all that you should come to expect with the addition of a newborn to your household. And yet, there is a richness of enjoying even the more trying parts of parenting a newborn-- given the previous week's experiences.

Funny, too often, it takes a trauma or a near miss to stop and count the blessings. I pray that today you will hug a friend's neck more closely, play a game with your child. Snuggle with your spouse. Sing more fervently in church.

Regardless what "mundane" tasks you may have today, I pray that you will enjoy even the challenges all the more. They are all a gift form God. Have a blessed day!

  1. Hi All, I'm doing well...still on medication and general recovery and tiredness, but feeling so blessed by all your prayers and encouragement. In our last ladie's Bible study God was reminding me about His name "Jehovah-Jirah" meaning "provider" and again at our meeting last night it came up again. He called us here and has been faithful to provide for us in many ways. Especially with the outpouring of love from our church family during this time of trials. We are far from our physical family and old friends, but have a new family here and have brought us all closer thru this. THANK YOU, GOD, for knowing what we need before we know it and being faithful to provide for us in our times of need.
