Some special pictures of Hector snuggles in Washington to start my day today... smiles from 2 1/2 month old Hector and 2 1/2 year old Evangeline... Patrick sharing in.
In about 3 weeks they will be flying into Minnesota and Wisconsin for family time! LOVE!
Nancy had hoped to get a few chickens, but it looks like they will have them here on the farm instead.
This would have been Ascension Thursday, but it has been moved to Sunday now. The readings speak of Jesus coming back to dwell in us after He ascends to heaven. Praying with Pat this morning we felt sadness and grief at the horrible lies accepted by the world from Satan... the culture of death and darkness of sin and death which has become the false truth that people profess and follow! How contrary that the Truth has now been trampled and we are looked down upon if we uphold morals and values which Jesus instituted along with His Bride, The Church!
In the Gospel from John 16 today... this is the promise of Jesus to us!
"...Amen, amen, I say to you,
you will weep and mourn, while the world rejoices;
you will grieve, but your grief will become joy."
Thinking of the cheer that went up in New York when they passed the bill allowing the killing of those that had survived abortion and performing abortion up until birth! Those that love ALL LIFE weep and mourn. As a dear friend spoke last night, who has been a sidewalk counselor for 40 days for life... "This brought many to see the Truth and have left behind the taking of innocent life!"
I have been involved with Birthright for my married life - I learned how to do a pregnancy test and discovered that I was pregnant with my first child, Ruth Ida! 40 years of meeting one to one with girls in crisis as they face an unplanned pregnancy. I know of one girl, Amanda, that is now about 30 years old, who was saved! So powerful and fulfilling to follow her growing up and to hear so many thanks from her mother over the years! A light that was allowed to come into the world and make a difference! So many have been extinguished! Her mother's grief became JOY!
The heat is coming and no rain for a while! Lord, hear our prayer for the farmers to find a way to feed the world!
Jesus, how we love you and find peace and joy and love and the fruits of the Spirit to lift us up no matter what we must face all around us. We find Hope dwelling within us! "Wounded, we will not cease to love!" Jesus, we trust in you. Amen and Hallelujah
Patrick, who is 6 with his baby brother, Hector, who is 2 1/2 months!
LOVE the many faces of Hector and Evie!
Mommy Maria and her snuggle buddy! He is very much snuggled by his siblings, too! Our arms are waiting for our snuggles in a few weeks! Bless-bless, Barb
Her grief was turned to JOY!
So many lights have been extinguished!
Why do they call it a "rainbow baby"?
A rainbow baby is a name coined for a healthy baby born after losing a baby due to miscarriage, infant loss, stillbirth, or neonatal death. The name “rainbow baby” comes from the idea of a rainbow appearing in the sky after a storm, or after a dark and turbulent time.
