And he weighs 32 pounds. He is tall for his age, almost as tall as a lot of 4 yr. olds. Dr says he is in the upper percentile with his height and weight.

Sorry for the Grandma talk, sometimes I just can't help myself.

We had two deaths in our church yesterday. And I am the person to call the florists to have flowers delivered to the funeral home. No one knew where one was going to be at. So I call the locall funeral homes and the name was not familiar to them -had to call a familyl member and I did not want to have to do that at their time of mourning, but it had to be done. Finally located the right place, called the florist and set up time and place for flowers to be delivered. Mentally stressed cause it should not be this hard to find which funeral home would have the body and it was not in the obit in the paper.

I am also on the food committee and I will be preparing deviled eggs and green bean casserole, and will have that at the church at 3 this evening and then tonight will be the small gathering at the funeral home, and then a small service in the chapel.

On to happier news, I had been praying for some help with g-baby because his parents are having such a time paying all their bills. Even though g-baby is 26 months old they are still paying hospital bills because of emergency c section and baby had some difficulties and they had to stay in hospital with some surgery issues and on and on. I am so happy that they are both ok now. They had insurance but with a deductable and they are paying monthly on all the extra bills and it is a hardship. And baby needed new clothes and age appropriate books and toys.

Last night someone called me and asked so timidly if I would be insulted if they gave grandbaby some clothes that her son had out grown. Isn't God good? He provides our needs and we are all so blessed.

Not only that but----
Dh and I had have been trying to go to another church. Long story and I won't go into it but we had tried before several times and each time I have felt the Lord tell me to go back. Yesterday I had decided that I was going to find another church I just can't keep on being put down by my family that goes there. I had not talked to God about this, I just decided to go. When out of the blue the lady calls me about the clothes, and then she said be sure to be in church Sunday so I can give you the clothes for baby. ---I really need to talk to God BEFORE I decide to do something because He may have other plans.

Have a good day everyone
Dear Sis. Adra,

I haven't been on this thread for a good while but last night I thought

I would browse here. Saw where it looked like you had found a comfortable

place here. That is so good. So thankful you are doing better as I never

forgot your plea for prayer one Sunday morning not long ago. I have prayed

for you as it seemed I felt your pain that morning. God IS indeed SO GOOD!

I also am a mother (6 adult children) and a grandmother (19, will be 20 in

March. Another boy which will make 15 grandsons and 5 granddaughters.)


Being the eldest daughter of eleven siblings (lost our first brother in Sept.),

you might think I would be tired of children, especially babies, but that is

not the case. With each newborn our love just grows to cover that little

one. Children are God's heritage. Jesus said of little children, "of such is the

kingdom of God". He also said that "Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom

of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein". The Heavenly Father

loves little children. The Father (Spirit, Deity) loved His children, creation)

through Jesus and now He loves them through us, His people.


Sis. Adra, didn't mean to say so much but....did, Anyway, God bless you

real good and your family.


Oh, one more thing.......

Yes, you are wise to consult your LORD before making important decisions.

There were times through the years it seemed a change would have been

good but could never find a place to do so. Now almost 50 yrs. later, my

husband of 48 yrs. and I are still here....with five of our six adult children

and their original spouses, and 15 of our grandchildren. One son and spouse

and their four children go to an apostolic church near their home about

15 miles away in another city. His business is in our city. Yes, I am so glad

we stayed put and our roots grew way down deep toward the Rock.

Blessings,

Falla39

You can always find someone who will give negative feedback, but I always know that my Mom is going to be a positive influence. Not that she can't give good critical advice when that is needed as well, but she is a very positive influence in my life. I hope and pray that I can be like her for my daughter.
I agree with you ..... I don't want someone to lie to me, but I sure want to feel someone cares and supports me...a parents approval when we are kids is worth more than most realize....I sought my parents approval and acceptence but never got it until it was too late....parents have the strongest infulence in a childs self esteem....

Don't lose heart, we just had an elderly woman get baptized, who for years and come to church with her husband but for some reason she had never made a move for salvation. Her husband has been serving God for many years--over fifty. They just celebrated their 65th wedding anniversary. And, after all these years, she decided she needed to be baptized. God is faithful!
You are blessed....that is wonderful....I love my mom, but she is not a very good mom, sadly she is not a happy person...I have had to forgive a lot...

Of course, she called me at 2:35 a.m. not knowing what to do.

They will always need us!!!!!! LOL!
OH your kids always need ya, my son does not come to me much anymore, but he needs my love and support which I am happy to give...he is a fine man and I am very proud of him.
