Rose arrived early this morning as her mommy was going to the doctor for the new baby. We knew that there was an ultrasound at 8:30a so we were praying in the midst of all the activity that two little active ones involves. "Hail Marys" were being chanted in my mind, heart, and soul as Rose and I watched the bulls in the front pasture through the big picture window in the front of the house. Mom is back with the good news that all is well... there is a concern for the placenta being in a good place, and it looks to be high and to the left and that is a good place for it to be! Ruth describes a huge screen on the wall as you watch the ultrasound, and the new little LIFE bouncing around. Rose was bouncing on mom's lap after mom got back, and we said that she has taught her new little sibling well already. Ruth said that she even thought that she saw a hiccough. To think of the lies that are told by Planned Parenthood to women looking for abortions - that babies are just a piece of tissue at this age - 12 weeks! No, their hearts are beating at 8 weeks and they are a LIFE at conception as the miracle of LIFE takes place when the egg and the sperm unite! Lord, may the Truth about LIFE be accepted and believed! No wonder that LIFE care centers have ultrasound machines so that women can see with their eyes the baby that is truly there! It is nauseating to hear of abortion clinics where babies that are born alive in abortions are killed!!! Here is an article I came across so that you can read the shocking news yourself - http://www.nationalrighttolifenews.org/news/2013/05/live-birth-abortion-trial-the-story-of-dr-kenneth-edelin/
Ruth shared that the OB was very supportive and positive about the new little baby. "It's coming... so what can you say." She also encouraged Ruth to be at home with her family as much as possible, and not to pick up extra shifts as she is high risk! So good to get that encouragement to care for herself and the baby! This baby is very much feeling the fingerprint of God upon it, as it is here to be prayed and loved and hoped into full grown LIFE! We already LOVE it and continually pray for it!
To have the constant motion called David and Rose here for the morning, and knowing that they both are miracle babies - here after Ruth and Paul were told no more children, but getting a second opinion, and trusting, and praying them here! Such an amazing testamony of Faith, and LOVE of LIFE! Jesus tells us to day to "Remain in my LOVE... I have told you this so that my Joy might be in you and your JOY might be complete." John 15 - the Gospel for today! So much JOY to be had with the gift of each LIFE we are given. I have the JOY of my 5 children here with me,and also the constant reminder of my 6-7 in heaven that are praying for me and drawing my eyes and heart to join them someday and for my family to be complete! Someone told me once that they had a new understanding of me - when they discovered that I had so many children waiting to meet me in Heaven! I do have my eyes on that reunion one day, and know that my JOY will be complete at that time. I do remain in the LOVE of Christ - His Cross is where He revealed that LOVE for us and also has told us that as his followers we are to take up our Most Cherished Cross and follow after HIM! We are to embrace the Tree of LIFE - the Cross and find LIFE eternal and to find that complete JOY to carry us through the trials of LIFE!
Jesus, we are so filled with wonder and awe at the beauty of LIFE. Our LOVE grows bigger with each new little one we are blessed with - it does not get stretched smaller but grows MORE! May the Truth be known and shared with all the world, and may the culture of death be sent to Hell where it belongs, and the JOY of Heavenly Truth bring eternal LIGHT to show us the path to LIFE eternal! Truly, O Lord, the Truth will set us free to share Your LIGHT with all those that we meet this day especially those in our domestic Church/family. We thank and praise you for this new little LIFE in Ruth and for the way that You are caring for it and watching out for it. We place the two of them in your loving and forgiving hands. May we lift them up to you without ceasing and trusting totally in YOU and your Bride, The Church! The Church which shows us how to cherish ALL LIFE from conception to natural death. We long to LOVE and serve YOU in all that we say and do and pray this day! Jesus, we trust in YOU! Amen and Halleluia!
Bless-bless, Barb
His Holiness Benedict XVI speaks to Full JOY
"Jesus shows the disciples the wounds of his hands and in his side, signs of what has occurred and will never be cancelled: his glorious humanity remains 'wounded.' The purpose of this act is to confirm the new reality of the Resurrection: Christ, now among his own, is a real person, the same Jesus who three days earlier was nailed to the cross. And it is in this way that the dazzling LIGHT of Easter, in the encounter with the Risen One, the disciples perceive the salvific meaning of his Passion and his Death. Then sorrow and the wounds themselves become a source of JOY."
How true is this for me! The sorrow of my losses in my childbearing years to miscarriage and still birth - 6-7 of them - have now become my great JOY in knowing that I will have ALL my children with me in Heaven some day! The wounds have become Full JOY with the LIGHT of Easter! Praise YOU, my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ!!! Halleluia!
"Keep the joy of loving God in your heart and share this joy with all you meet especially your family. Be holy – let us pray." Blessed Teresa of Calcutta
