Hopes and Dreams and Answered Prayers

Sarah sounded so good today when we had a nice long phone visit. This is a treat since we rarely both have a good time to talk. It was so neat to hear the noises in the background: cars going by, children getting out of school and talking loud as they walked home, and sweet Eleonora " singing" as she stretched herself awake from a long nap. We still pray for her complete healing of her vocal cord but we are so thankful that she is doing so well at almost 6 months weighing 8 pounds. She is completely off monitors and oxygen during the day! YEAH!!! This makes is much easier for everything, including 2nd floor apt living with the laundry down 3 flights of stairs to the basement of the complex.

Me, I am dreaming about holding my PRECIOUS Gran~ baby and just looking in her beautiful blue~green eyes and drinking in her smiley face !!!! Hopefully this will happen at Thanksgiving or soon after....

Elizabeth and I are also praying about and dreaming of a life~long desire to go to Israel and walk where Jesus walked and there is an opportunity to do just that in April with some good friends and a neat group. I am selling rebounding units to earn our way ( that is a mini~ trampoline) and if you or anyone you know is interested LET ME KNOW!!!! email me at joyfulrose@earthlink.net. Donations and/or Contributions are eagerly accepted also :)

What are your HOPES AND DREAMS AND ANSWERED PRAYERS!!!!?????

Counting God's Blessings!

God is Good~ all the time and life is full ~ all the time:

Please pray as Philipp and Sarah and sweet Eleonora ( 7.5 pounds now!) transition into their new home ( apt on Campus) and life in CHICAGO!
I am about to leave to pick up Elizabeth who has been with them this past week helping pack and drive and babysit her special ( and only) niece!!!!

Elizabeth says Eleaonora is the smilingest baby in the world except when she is hungry~ then she wants to suck and can not because of the damaged vocal cord which causes her to choke. PLEASE PRAY GOD HEALS THIS SOON!!!!
