Hello it’s me again - LJ
Today: And then there was Happy News!
Yes! Happy News!
In March this year, my senior daughter got married and is now expecting her first child!
My mother’s always used to say, a child is a Blessing, but a grandchild is a Special Gift! It is so wonderful and special because you get to just enjoy, such a small baby to the fullest.
As a mother you go through the physical, mental and emotional changes and all that it entails to bring your baby into this world. There is so much going on and all of it is new, so you are on a roller coaster and before you know it the daily routine, adjustments in trying to cope with the new way of life sets in. And then, just when you think you are getting the hang of it, and you find your way in this new life, well then number 2 is coming into the picture and you start all over again, because every pregnancy is different…. But I am getting ahead of myself….
I mean we just had the news of number 1…. Only God knows when number 2 is coming. We are all in God’s hands and He holds our future!
Even though your surrounding is supporting you, hovering over you and being nosy; this will be something you physically will do alone! Even if you have a protective husband, who is not hiding his excitement and happiness over his great desire that is being fulfilled.
It still baffles me this precious miracle, a whole complete human-being that is formed in the womb and when it has been born in to this world it is a complete person. Wow! I say! Wow!
The following scripture comes to mind:
Out of the mouth of babes and nursing infants You have ordained strength, Because of Your enemies, That You may silence the enemy and the avenger.
Children are a heritage from the Lord, offspring a reward from him. Like arrows in the hands of a warrior are children born in one’s youth. Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them. They will not be put to shame when they contend with their opponents in court.
Let me encourage you with this, God knows your need, your desire and He will answer your prayers. A few months before she got married, God showed me a vision in which she needed prayer and bowed her knees to God to receive the prayer. As a mom and soon to be grand-mamma, I have been standing in prayers and even after I got the news the Holy Spirit stirred me up to pray and do my duty as a “watchmen”. So know that there is always someone praying for you!* You may not know, but God knows your need and in due season You too will receive your answer!
God Bless you! – L.J.
