Melinda texted to say Willow is here–4 pounds, 7 ounces. Arrived at 5:18 PM (I think that must be Eastern Time). She is on cpap but not a vent and she cried well! Dr. Hartline said she was doing well and to keep praying. Love, Melinda.
I am rejoicing and I know you all will be too when you get this news!!
The LORD’s handmaiden,
Kathie
Philippians 1: Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)
6 I am sure of this, that He who started a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.

So am I?
Are you?
How often have we quoted this verse to a brother or sister with a downcast countenance? And yet when we look in the mirror what do we believe?
Did your Momma tell you: “If you can’t say something good, don’t say anything at all.”?
Well? Why does that not apply to the one reflected in the mirror?
Perhaps it does.
Ephesians 4: New American Standard Bible (NASB)
29 Let no unwholesome word proceed from your mouth, but only such a word as is good for edification according to the need of the moment, so that it will give grace to those who hear.

I would do well to practice this today on the woman in the mirror.
How about you?
I pray, ABBA, for the courage and the faith to practice this Word today; for You, for others and for me. And I pray the same courage and faith for each Dear One who comes to this screen. We continue to remember Misty and Willow Grace, asking for protection, for a safe delivery; a healthy, safe delivery for both Misty and Willow Grace – even allowing Willow Grace one more week safely inside to grow. And we pray for the others named at PFT. You see each of their faces, You know their every thought, fear, hope and dream; and You know what is right and good eternally for them and it is for that we pray in JESUS Name. Amen and amen.
Do well today, my Friends.
Honored to be a handmaiden of the LORD,
Kathie

Dear Frister, Doctor is putting Misty in the hospital as I type this. All her function tests except one are in and they are all borderline or bad..liver function especially. She will not go home without delivery this time, he told her…Sooo, probably tonight or tomorrow before five. He’s leaving for a weekend in Memphis @ five o’clock tomorrow so it will be between now and then. Pray hard for their health and safety. Willow Grace, in all her 4 lb. 2 oz. glory will be here soon.
