Gotta go now. See you tonight...music up. I didn't have a chance to get any ready, darn it. Maybe I can do it quickly when I get home...late.

Have a great day.

[EsmeraldaA]

Same to you honey, see you tonight.

Interesting from previous conversations I thought Americans called what I know as a hand bag or shoulder bag a purse but both of you used the term handbag or bag.

Hi Maj
How are you today. Have a wonderful weekend!

"I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth. —3 John 1:4"

How wonderfully appropriate this is to contemplate and savor!
In the past month, it has been punctuated over and over, and indeed - -

Truly, my
!!

April brought a visit with our older son and wife, in SC on vacation. We celebrated Steve's birthday together.
Kevin and Susan call often from Florida, with news of them and their sons. They both teach teenager Sunday School classes, and Christopher and Nickolas have always attended a Christian School in West Palm Beach.

Our daughter, Jennifer, and Bill hold home group Bible studies on Tuesday nights.
Her older daughter has secured a position as a field chemist, graduating from college in December, and in 2 weeks will be moving to Memphis, her life launched..

Tuesday brought the wonder of a second great-grandchild, and this evening Kyle called us to describe with obvious awe how *complete* he and Roxanne feel with their little girl!
Her name is not Ava, I learned, my s-i-l misspelling it -
pronounced like 'Ava'- but is spelled Eva, as in Eva Peron.

They were able to bring her home yesterday, the hospital sending a special blue light for them to use for slight jaundice, which is common in newborns. We'll be going to see them in two weeks, after they're settled in.

In all three families, they are secure in following the Lord, and as the verse says, nothing brings a parent more joy than this!

It extends also to my two stepchildren, who live in the Midwest.
Cheryl is recovering from her second spinal surgery and the house she is having built will be finished soon.
Roger and his Lisa married Saturday the 6th of May. He describes her as "a lady and GODly!"

Let's see - her two children bring the total of all our grands to - -
an even dozen - and two great-grands!

There is no description adequate to express the profound joys at this end of life....
I praise and thank our loving, gracious and awesome God.

Have a Happy Weekend!

[MEG33]

I am asking for your thoughts and prayers.

My daughter,who has a chronic illness and chronic pain for many many years, has been having chest pains and is going for more tests tomorrow at the hospital..My son has had a quadruple bypass and my husband,their father, died of a heart attack.The stress of surgery for her would be so very difficult.

She has an unexplained infection and has been on antibiotics 4 months.This sadly happens a lot.. She has so much chronic pain that I am praying this is unrelated to a heart condition..but she does have high cholesterol. She is unable to take a regular stress test..This test is different .

I pray
Lord God, You are the God of all knowledge who ever watches over Your Children. We pray Your hand of wisdom and knowledge be upon the entire staff of medical people who have my daughter's care in their hands. Enlighten them beyond their own ability; and we pray this boldly because we know that You care for us, and that You have all healing in Your hands. Strengthen her,my son in law and my family for whatever her heart test shows and whatever lies ahead for her. Watch over her Navy son. I pray you enable us to trust as we place her in Your loving hands.



In Jesus name we pray; Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Amen.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Prayers on the way, Meg, for your daughter and her family.

A prayer also that the doctors can find and fix the issue quickly!!

[MEG33]

Thank you Kathy..God bless you.

[DollyCali]

And AMEN Meg.

I am so sorry you daughter has yet another rung on her list of medical problems and with the family history of cardiac problems it appears a valid situation to have concern over.

Will pray for you all through this.. On mother's day weekend you have shared that we aren't just mothers when they are nursing & in the growing up years.. Motherhood is for a lifetime & we will always share their joys & their pain.

Hugs to you across the miles

[MEG33]

Thank you,Dolly, for prayers and hugs..Yes, our motherhood is indeed for all our life...through good times and the bad times. I finally let "past history" prey on my mind and decided a prayer request was in order. My son is coming today so that is a happy note.

[GodBlessUSA]

My prayers have and will continue to be said, for your daughter, Meg. I will light a candle today at church. May God bless You and Your Family.
Hugs!

[MEG33]

Hugs,GeeBee..Thank you so much. God Bless You.

[luvie]

Meg...you are in my prayers for your daughter in all the health issues that she finds herself in. May the Father hold her in His powerful arms and give her the healing that she desires. May the Lord bless you and your family and give you all the strangth you need to endure.

[MEG33]

God bless you,Luv..Thank you.
