To Hold and to Love

After supper Hannie was exhausted, so she went for a sleep. When she awoke, she went out to find Marvin and lo and behold, he was sitting in a rocking chair holding Gerad in his ARMS! She texted me with excitement and that it was HER TURN NEXT! Marvin said it was like being a dad again!

What a blessing!

How sweet to hold a newborn baby
and feel the pride and joy he gives;
But greater still the calm assurance
This child can face uncertain days because He lives!

We asked for strength...
And God gave us difficulties to make us strong

We asked for wisdom...
And God gave us problems to solve

We asked for prosperity...
And God gave us brain and brawn to work

We asked for courage...
And God gave us dangers to overcome

We asked for love...
And God gave us opportunities

We received nothing we wanted...
But...
We received everything we needed...

Our prayers do get answered
