What a Blessing!

For each or our children I have made them a baby blanket in different shades of blue, white, and pink.  They all enjoy their blankets and are a bit possessive of them.   So, with great excitement yesterday we gathered the kids together and placed new blue, pink and white yarn on the table and asked if they liked the colors for our new baby.  It took them a bit to process it but then the room erupted with shouts of excitement and bouncing.  So, if you didn't catch it, yessssss we are expecting a new baby.  We just found out yesterday so you are all some of the first to find out.  Actually, we have been sharing the news with friends and family but it is very new and I'm not far along.  I love to share with people the blessing of new life so we don't keep it quiet but proclaim the good news of God's blessing.  Hope this puts a smile on your face as we celebrate a new life being formed in my womb.  The miracle of that so overwhelms me.  Already God has decided if it's a girl or boy, the color of hair and eyes, the gifts and abilities and it is fearfully and wonderfully made.  

"Blessed is every one that feareth the Lord; that walketh in his ways.  For thou shalt eat the labour of thine hands:  happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee.  Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine by the sides of thine house: thy children like olive plants round about thy table.  Behold, that thus shall the man be blessed that feareth the Lord."  Psalms 128 1-4

Thank you Father. Have a wonderful day
