Wow! Love that!<br /><br />I am amazed that you could drive while having contractions! You are a strong and brave woman! My prayers for your continued strength, and a prayer of thanksgiving for your blessed and holy daughter!<br /><br />I wonder if God's favorite color is white for all the suffering we mothers endure and offer to Him. I would say that your true color of white isn't pretty, it's beautiful!Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06195528409761980551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4865004314650777465.post-65180703114634959232010-01-09T18:06:55.579-05:002010-01-09T18:06:55.579-05:00Peace be with you.

It is so hard when you are tired and worried to give over and give praise. I've fought off the urgings for prayer because I didn't want to let go of my mood, I've done those prayers of praise through gritted teeth. But you know you did eventually pray and you did find a sort of peace. Those are small victories. And thank God for them. <br /><br />I had one of those nights last night myself. Kids up every hour. Girls waking the just-fell-asleep baby. And me grumbling to Dom about how angry I am. But the prayers did come, the reluctant offering, grudging and late but eventually made. I thought of you, though and so you were in my prayers and will continue to be.Melanie Bettinellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12557248434888642114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4865004314650777465.post-68226824342257544632010-01-09T10:32:06.924-05:002010-01-09T10:32:06.924-05:00Beautiful!!Beautiful!!Kristen Laurencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03832263040185490691noreply@blogger.com
