12 weeks old ~ 4 pounds even!

Sweet Eleonora is now 3 months old and still weeks away from her due date of June 8th. This has been a challenging week with some setbacks. We covet your prayers as Eleonora continues to have difficulty eating and might have to wait a bit ( weeks even!) to get back on the bottle feeding and nursing program. Her paralyzed vocal cord ( from the heart valve surgery when she was 9 days old) seems to be the main problem and she continues to have tests done. Sarah asks for wisdom for the Dr. as he makes important decisions regarding Eleonora's care. May God's PEACE reign in all our hearts and minds as we watch and wait.
Next to my computer is this poem:

Compensation
God always gives a better thing
Than that He takes away
Exceeding joy tomorrow
For the tears we shed today
Immeasurable treasure
For the gain we counted loss
Yea, an hundredfold of blessing
For the bearing of the Cross.

"
It shall be well with them that fear God." Eccl.8:12

  2. Do you know who the author of your poem "Compensation" is? Someone asked me and I don't know.
