Ascension Thurs - "man has found an everlasting place in God." Pope Benedict XVI

Sandwiched in love by her two children... the third in her womb and there is worry as we await the ultrasound in the morning to tell us whether her little one has survived some bleeding.   There continues to be some hope,and prayers are flowing like a river of love surrounding our 7th grandchild.   A priest friend has offered to swing by this evening and give a blessing to her womb.  Today is Maria's 4th anniversary - so we are celebrating in small ways with family and love.   She has been told not to travel the 11 hours between here and her husband in the army in Missouri... so they are seperated - absence makes the heart grow stronger!
Word from Nancy that Gus did amazing at his first week check up.  He has surpassed his birth weight and will not have to come back for 2 months!  They are awaiting the arrival of Bill's parents this evening. We think that Gus will not be wanting for welcoming arms to hold him morning noon and night!  The rejoicing will be heard loud and clear from the Bandzuch house!  Nancy sounds so happy and content with her new and wonderful little son!  We rejoice with them and yet are in a state of emotion and prayer with the situation with  Maria and her little family...
From afar loving thoughts from her husband, Joseph.  We know that the welfare of his little family and small new life is on the mind and heart of their daddy in Missouri!


 Rides in the tractor with grandpa and times out looking at the cows - fill up our day as we wait for the morning.  Maria just taking it easy with rest and enjoying having mom spoil her a bit...
Jesus, we love you and know that you are at the right hand of the Father... the Holy Spirit dwells within us and brings us to you when we are weak and worried about life.  WE place all of those things in life that come our way into your hands and trust in you to be in total control of all.  Thank you for your love and concern for all that is part of life from conception to natural death.  Jesus, we trust in you!  Amen and Halleluia!

Bless-bless, Barb the humble
"All peoples, clap your hands,
cry to God with shouts of joy!
For the Lord, the Most High, we must fear,
great kings over all the earth."  Psalm 47
