"There is great hope for our world,
for new light is coming into our world
as babies are being born; and we welcome them.
Blessing these newborns in thought, prayer and action,
we enrich their lives with love and peace,
with nourishment for mind, body and soul.
We hold some of them tenderly in our arms;
however, we can hold all of them in our prayers."
Daily Word Meditation - 3/31/08
This is such a great meditation for me today. To remind me to continue to pray for our next grandchild, the "wee one," that is due to be born the end of May or June. Also, to pray for all the unborn and newborn children of the world.
The "wee one" will be Henry's sister. The photo above was taken at the dinner after my Mother's funeral. She would have loved to have hugged and kissed all of her grandchildren and great grandchildren. My Mother knew that John and Liz were going to have a baby girl and she was excited to meet another great grandchild. Maybe she has plans be the "wee one's" guardian angel.
Henry was born seven weeks premature and weighed around four pounds. It was a scary time for all of us. The technology and advancements in medicine are truly miraculous and are helping preemies live healthy, normal lives. I am thankful for all the advances in modern medicine. I am thankful that Henry is a normal, healthy, happy, little boy. I am praying for the "love and peace," and "nourishment of mind, body and soul," for our new grandchild and all the children, born and unborn, of our world.

A girl? Awesome! I hope that the delivery goes smoothly and happens at the end of the May as expected. Also, Henry is so cute -- love the photo of him next to that beautiful window. He's going to be a great older brother, I think.
Pati - your pictures and thoughts always impress me! We love you and can't wait to introduce that little one to you in June as well!
