Shoved to Them
It was my great pleasure this Advent Season to pray for Percolating Petals. She is a first time mom who weathered the trials of infertility before finally giving birth to their miracle girl, Katie Beth this November on the birthday of my own eldest child. What a wonderful coincidence that was to discover!
As I prayed for her during her first days as a new mom, I was reminded of when I was there 14 years ago. All babies are wonderful, but there is something magical about the first…the baby who makes you a mom. It has been so sweet to revisit those days of the wonderful and strange sense of peace a new baby brings to a household, to remember those frustrated tears of uncertainty, and realize how far God has brought us from those early days.
Percolating Petals, I prayed for you all throughout the day…mostly in short bursts of “God please watch over her and her husband and give them the wisdom and grace they will need today.” but also in my noon Angelus (when I remembered to do it…somehow that hour passes without my notice on too many days. You gave me a reason to try..so thank you.)
I have loved looking at the sweet baby picture on your blog, and just want to kiss her little cheeks and sniff that baby head! I am so thrilled to have gotten to know you, and to now have gotten to add you to my “friend” list on facebook. You will remain in my prayers, sweet lady. God bless you and your whole family!
