Update On Baby Reese

This precious baby is going to be a miracle because of prayers.
Her Mom says she is doing better bit by bit.

Her Mom said that she got to change her diaper today.
I thought that was so sweet that she was so excited just to change a diaper.
The baby is still in PICU but is so much better.

This is her today. Her Mom freed her arms.
My daughter, "May May" left a comment saying it looked like
Baby Reese was praising the Lord. I bet she is.
Behki put a video on facebook and I have it on my wall but
didn't know how to post it here. You can see it here or I hope you can.
I just linked to my facebook page where I shared it.
*************
Thank you for all of your prayers.
This means the world to Baby Reese's Mom, family and all her friends.
I kept my youngest grands yesterday while "May May" and 2 of her friends
went to visit Behki & Baby Reese in the hospital. These girls amaze me. They are awesome Moms and are always there for each other. My 3 year old grandson (Little D) and
I got on our knees and prayed for the baby.
This video is for you Behki!!!!

Our Prayer

Lord, help us to PLAN, PREPARE, & PLANT what you would have us to. Help us to WEED out of our lives what should not be there. Lord, help us to GROW through you in our relationships, our attitudes, and our lives, always being in your will. Help us to always walk with you. Help us to get our priorities straight and choose joy. Let us always be thankful and content even in the storms because we all know it’s going to rain. Help us to be ready. We also know that sunshine follows rain and joy comes in the mornings. Thank you Lord.

In Jesus name,

Amen.

I Work For A King

I Work For a King

"I work for a King. He has put me in charge of his home. When He comes to see how I have managed His possessions and His children, I do not want to be found wanting. I want to do my best. Everything I have is on loan from Him. I have room and board and a job to do, but it is all for Him. Therefore I want to dress my best and do my best in all my work. I also want to be creative, for this is a sincere attempt to glorify Him and His beautiful creation. How I manage my home is a form of worship to Him." --Lydia Sherman

Granny's PERFECT Quilt

It is PERFECT. Perfectly PERFECT. Oh I don't mean perfect stitches, or perfect seams, or perfectly square. It is PERFECT for snuggling under on a rainy, dreary day. It is PERFECT for wrapping up a grandchild who is spending the night. It is PERFECT for making a house when draped over a chair & an end table. It is PERFECT for winding around and around a doll. It is PERFECT for covering up in the car when the air conditioning is on full blast. It is PERFECT for laying on the carpet and putting a baby down for his nap. God has touched Granny's heart and her hands, and her life. He has made her an artist. He has given her the gift of PERFECT quilts.

Written by Marlene B. about the quilt she bought from Granny. (Excerpt from Oct. 7, 2009 post on her blog)

Thank you Marlene for blessing Granny!

Stay At Home

Stay, stay at home, my heart, and rest;
Home-keeping hearts are happiest,
For those that wander they know not where
Are full of trouble and full of care;
To stay at home is best.

Weary and homesick and distressed,
They wander east, they wander west,
And are baffled and beaten and blown about
By the winds of the wilderness of doubt;
To stay at home is best.

Then stay at home, my heart, and rest;
The bird is safest in its nest;
O'er all that flutter their wings and fly
A hawk is hovering in the sky;
To stay at home is best.

Longfellow (song)

"Oh that God would give every mother a vision of the glory and splendor of the work that is given to her when a babe is place in her bosom to be nursed and trained! Could she have but one glimpse in to the future of that life as it reaches on into eternity; could she look into it's soul to see its possibilities; could she be made to understand her own personal responsibility for the training of this child, for the development of its life, and for its destiny,--she would see that in all God's world there is no other work so noble and so worthy of her best powers, and she would commit to no others hands the sacred and holy trust given to her." -JR Miller
