Just checking in to see if the baby arrived and yes!! I am so thrilled. We're on our way to Mass and will offer prayers for continued healing and thanksgiving.

I just had to share this today, especially since for you all over here, it is the feast day itself.

The Feast of the Expectation of Our Lady over at StarryMantle and the connection to Chemai for me.

...good tears, good tears...

What wonderful, joyful news!! I am so happy for you, Chemai, and your family.

Anne, as I read all of this, the scripture from Sirach comes to mind:

4
    A faithful friend is a sturdy shelter; he who finds one finds a treasure.
15
    A faithful friend is beyond price, no sum can balance his worth.
16
    A faithful friend is a life-saving remedy, such as he who fears God finds;

You have been a faithful friend, and yes, a life-saving remedy for Chemai and family. May the Lord richly bless you for your loyalty and persevance in seeing His will come to life. Literally!

Thank you for being such a good witness to me.

And I can't wait for photos!!!!!
