Verse of the Day

4 Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice!5 Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Lord is at hand.6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; 7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

Praise God from whom all blessings flow....

baby Gideon, grandson #1 yet grandbaby #2 was born at 6:26 a.m.
7 lbs 13 oz and 21 inches long
He shares Poppa's name in his middle name
God is good......my sweet prince gained entrance to Heaven on a Wednesday
this little man made entrance onto this earth on a Wednesday 4 and one half months later
blessings were in abundance throughout our daughters labor and delivery
Our son in law named his son, Gideon for "woodsman" and then his Poppa's middle name because Poppa was a woodsman.......God had given him a talent with wood.....constructing big and small things over the years.....it embodied who he was and what he did to provide for his family and I am honored that our sweet son-in-law (my son in my heart) chose this.......
******
Gideon is a balm to our spirits
please join us in lifting up praises to our Lord and Savior for His mercies and FAITHFULNESS

Thank You, Jesus, for the double blessing. The first being an adorable healthy baby boy and the second of giving a precious gift on the same day of the week as You took another precious gift home. Your timing is perfect, Lord, and how high are Your ways.

Welcome, Gideon!! Just wait to you grow to understand who you are named after. It will inspire you to be a mighty man of valor like your Poppa.

oh! That picture melts my heart! LOVE the name (you know I like symbolic & unique) What a special thing for your "Son-in-Love" to do.
He will be grounded in God's word and surrounded by love. What a joy!
Thanking God for this blessing in your lives!
Oh to hold a baby so fresh from God. Maybe a special Auntie will give him a snuggle in my honor??Wish I could give you all a hug. Tears well up in my eyes to think about the bittersweet reminders ...the loss...the gain. You have steadfastly stood by our side as we climbed our mountain. It is easier when we know we are not facing the transplant alone. You are so special to me. What a mighty God we serve.
HUGS again and again,
your teacher friend
