I hope you feel better soon. I love the picture of the pregnant bellies - so beautiful! Have a blessed day.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by...blessings to you...
ReplyDeleteSo sorry you are not feeling well, Ro. What a beautiful family, and what a blessing to still have your parent with you. LOVE the pregnant photo. I was so hoping to get a similar photo of the 3 pregnant ladies celebrating Thanksgiving with us, but one of them was not feeling well and spent most of the day on the couch. The last thing she wanted was for me to take her picture.
ReplyDeleteWhat is the Advent devotional you are using with your Dad?
XOX
Patricia...it is a Catholic devotional called Divine Intimacy...it starts in Advent and goes for a year...this is huge...I grew up Catholic and when I decided to practice my faith outside the Catholic church..i was kicked out of my house....so needless to say...this is huge...both of us growing and me forgiving and finding that place to where we can walk together...when he shared the book with me...I was overwhelmed with God's mercy...so before advent started..I read the section on the virtues... it is so rich....
ReplyDeletehugs and blessings to you....
Your family is a lovely legacy! Hooray for God in you!
ReplyDeleteOh your family looks great and you daughter glows and it spreads to everyone with her!

ReplyDeleteand, thank you for such kind, encouraging words yesterday...they were much appreciated
Nice to meet you! Thank you for visiting my site. I love the photo of the pregnant bellies - such a fabulous journey in a woman's life. I know I'll miss it...perhaps I already do! Many times I too want to walk away from the blog, but my desire to write always seems to win. My best advice is to continue writing openly, honestly, and from the heart. Don't be concerned with comparing your site to others. But most of all, enjoy it. Many blessings to you!
ReplyDeletedorie...thanks for stopping by...blessing~
ReplyDeleteCarrie...even though I have been long past the childbearing years...I still miss it too...being a grandmother is maybe God's gift to that place in a mother's heart...thanks for the encouragement...

Ells, such a blessing you and your family shared and are sharing. Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI hold you in my prayers, Ells, for complete healing.
Caring through Christ, ~ linda
"Tylenol"- that made me smile. :) I think my very first entry when I started counting gifts was "allergy medicine"!
ReplyDeleteThose are beautiful pictures! My best friend of 17 years just had her first baby yesterday. So much to be thankful for! ~Frances
Linda..thanks so much for the prayers...have turned the corner today...Blessings to you...
ReplyDeleteFrances...learning to be thankful for all...things I used to take for granted...Oh such joy a new one brings...
Have a blessed day...
all these wonderful holidays are truly gifts to build our family memories... getting together... a bit like heaven when it is with those we love.
ReplyDeleteGlad you could all be together... old and young (very young) together :)
yes...a true gift...one I appreciate more and more the older my kids get...the more that get married and the family unit changes...so sweet..
ReplyDeleteBlessings~
All those new babies will have such fun growing up together with one another. Our girls still laugh and have such a good time even if they are now in their middle age area of life. Family is so precious.
ReplyDeletewell...that picture...I guess I should have had one with the faces...it is my PG daughter's husband and brothers and sister trying to see who looked more pregnant after the thanksgiving meal...:) yes family is precious...
ReplyDeleteBeautiful family...blessings!
ReplyDeletethanks...actually I linked to another post today....if you want to read it... here is the link http://tuningmyhearttopraise.blogspot.com/2011/10/with-change-ofleavescooler-temperatures.html
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful Thanksgiving that must have been. Still having your parents...and your baby having a baby. I look forward to that one (someday!). :-)
ReplyDeleteso wonderful that you stopped by to leave a comment because I thought about you not even 15 minutes prior! :) God is good! I'm sorry you aren't feeling well. I spent the 2 days after Thanksgiving in bed, Monday took the kids to Legoland with a homeschool group & then spent Tuesday back in bed- ugh- this weather isn't great, but it's better now for me than it was this summer with all the storms that blow across the Gulf- it rained at Legoland and I limped around some- felt like little knives in my joints- BUT, we had a joyous time!!! Today was a wonderful homeschool day, and I'm feeling much better. I pray you will be feeling better right away my friend!!
ReplyDeleteYour daughter is beautiful- your whole family is beautiful and they just shine!! love it- and love those bellies!
Kelli...oh...i remember those days...up and going one day...the next in bed...this can be such a physical and emotional roller coaster...Glad you day was better...keep watering yourself:)....I finally got on some antibiotics...
ReplyDeleteGood to hear from you...blessings to you my friend...
Praying for you, sweet friend! Hope you feel better very soon!
ReplyDeleteLove your list... and especially the belly pic ;)
melanie...feeling better with some help of antibiotics...thanks for stopping by...Blessings~
