After praying with me now for Eleonora's safety and healing during and after her heart-valve surgery Thursday do rejoice with me and Praise God for 2 more sweet babies! ANNOUNCEMENT! ANNOUNCEMENT!!!
Faith and Mercy both arrived safely Wednesday, March 4th! Thanks to those who joined me in prayers for these new little rosebuds from heaven~ truly precious gifts from GOD! A new second cousin for Eleonora , Faith Marie was born in the morning ( on the East Coast) and a new friend to be for Eleonora, Mercy Lee, was born in the evening safely at her grandma's home in Ripon, Califonia, as planned. Though 4 weeks earlier than her due date baby is perfect and weighs 5# 8 oz ~ big compared to Eleonora's 1# 4 oz that she now weighs!
Now my sweet sister-in-love Pam Rose and dear friend Kathy Lee and I, are all 1st time Grand~mothers within days of each other! I dedicate this poem to these dear prayer-warrior "sisters" of mine and to Philipp's mother and my dear friend ,Rosa Gollner in Austria especially, and also to all Grand~mas and Gran~mommy's to be!!!( Sisters ,Patti in April and Cathy Ann in JULY!!!)
The Rose
It’s only a tiny rosebud
A flower of God’s design;
But I cannot unfold the petals
With these clumsy hands of mine.
The secret of unfolding flowers
Is not known to such as I…
The flower God opens so sweetly
In my hand would fade and die.
If I cannot unfold a rosebud
This flower of God’s design,
Then how can I think I have wisdom
To unfold this life of mine?
So I’ll trust in Him for His leading
Each moment of every day,
And I’ll look to Him for His guidance
Each step of the pilgrim way.
For the pathway that lies before me
My Heavenly Father knows-
I’ll trust Him to unfold the moments
Just as He unfolds the rose.
