FFF

Look what I found in my laundry room. Lilee was looking for our baby bunnies in our yard. She is balancing on a 1 inch piece of plastic. EEEK!

My mom is back in the hospital again !

Her body is rejecting all the wires in her chest from her by-pass back in April. She still had 6-8 wires that they removed today. She is allergic to the wires that are made from stanless steel.
She will be in the hospital until Wed at least with a vac put back in her chest , once they get the infection out then they might be able to sew her back up. Please keep praying for her!! And that she can get medical help with all these bills, since she has no insurance. This is the 4th hosptial stay since April.

Update on my mom!

She got out of the hospital today. They are letting her incision heal from the inside out so her chest is still open. Please pray this will fix her this time so she can start healing and getting better.

Wordless Wednesday

Verses that really spoke to me and helped me get through our adoptions.

(John 14:18) " I will not leave you as orphans, I will come to you."

(Isaiah 43:5-6) "Do not be afraid, for I am with you,
I will bring your children from the west. Bring my sons from afar and my daughters from the ends of the earth."

(Proverbs 25:25) "As cold water is to a thirsty soul : so is good
news from a far country."

(Matthew 6:25-34) The do not worry chapter.
This is the chapter that told me we would adopt again and the
baby girl woud be named Lily (Lilee). "The lilies of the field".
This is a great reminder of why we should not worry, God will take care of his people!

(Psalms 82: 3-4) "Defend the cause of the weak and the fatherless; maintain the rights of the poor and oppressed. Resue the weak and neady; deliver them from the hand of the wicked."

(Psalms 68: 5) "A father to the fatherless, a defender of widows, is God in his holy dwelling."

(Deuteronomy 10:18) " He defends the cause of the fatherless and the widow and loves the alien, giving them food and clothing."

(Philippians 4:13) "I can do all things through him who gives me strength."

(Philippians 4:6-7) " Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present
your request to God. And the peace of God,which transcends all understanding will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."

(Romans 8:28) " And we know that all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose."

(James 1:27) "Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after the orphans and widows in their destress, and to keep oneself from being polluted from by the world."
