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,
