Well...here goes.
First happie....My dh and I have retained an adoption lawyer..sent her a payment and all! I do believe my constant prayers to St. Michael helped my dh get on that one task. He just seems more positive about the whole adoption process and waiting. We are completely ready now...even though nothing is going on. Ugh. I try not to think about it but it's hard. I will put it out there since any one could read this blog...IF you know of any expectant moms who are considering adoption...please email me at prayerfuljourney7@gmail.com. We are all set up to do interstate adoptions as well.
Second happie...three of my kiddos made progress this week. Two of my kiddos who only utter one word at time said two words together. One non verbal child signed "More Please". My parents were so excited to see those little baby steps. We have to praise those baby steps. My job is going well considering. I'm still part time and I continue to learn so much about children and development. Most of my kiddos are two or nearly two. We talk tantrums.
Third happie...hmmmm....a little robin built a nest and laid one egg a few weeks ago in an evergreen by a window next to our house. Jojo and Missy have been watching all of the action. Now when I go and check on the nest, momma bird has been sitting in her egg. I just love spring and new life. It is suppose to get nicer around here next week so I'll get a chance to check and see if anything hatched yet.
I just have to mention a few non-happies...my cousin who lives in Canada (who we went to visit last summer) found out she has breast cancer. Please pray for her.
Also, a woman who was very active with the food pantry for the poor at our church passed away last Monday. She had cancer as well. My dh is friends with her son so he'll be going to her services. I taught Religious Ed with her but didn't really get to know her. She was well known in our church and did so much for the poor. She will be missed by many. Her family is going to continue her work by setting up an organization to keep helping the poor.
St. Anne...pray for us.
St. Collette...pray for us.
St Michael...keep the devil away from us!
God Bless you all!

Great happies, and I am so sorry for your losses. I will keep you in my prayers!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for joining in on the happies. I hope it was helpful! While I felt like I had to force my way through mine this time around, it did end up helping in the end. Hugs! Also, sorry for your loss and for your cousin's diagnosis of cancer. I will be praying for them and their families.
ReplyDeleteI always try to think about the positives in my life but lately...so much sadness going on..it's been tough. I couldn't even end with happies...I had to bring up non-happies.
DeleteI admire you looking for some things that are good in the midst of the bad. Hard to do, and I will be praying for those that you know that are going through so much right now!
