Prayers of a child.

As I was putting Judah to bed on Monday night, I prayed for God to heal him.  Afterward, he asked, "Is God going to heal me?"

I assured him that he would be healed, maybe even tonight while he's sleeping and he said "Oh".

(A little later, with watery eyes and stuffy nose....)  "Is God coming soon?" 

~ Isn't that how we feel at times?  In our hurting hearts we ask , "God are you coming soon, hasn't it been long enough?"   "When will you heal my pain?"  "Will it be tonight?"

Blessing:

Several weeks ago, during prayer Judah prayed this way:

"Dear God, heal Mommy's back and help her feel better....and help her go to Old MacDonalds.  Amen"   :)

I wanted to laugh and cry all at the same time!  In his own way, he was praying all the blessings on me that he could think of!  :)  And since McDonalds is his favorite "going out for fun" place, he was really heaping on the blessings!

The children are doing much better, thanks to medicine and prayers!!!

It's amazing what 24 hours of antibiotics can do !    

Prayers would be appreciated. 

The children have been sick with fever since last Thursday evening.  When  I called in this morning, their doctor was booked until Thursday afternoon.  So we ended up in the ER tonight and both of the children have strep throat!  Judah had pretty much stopped eating since yesterday.  They are very miserable.   

My Honey just finished his round of antibiotics.  (We're not exactly sure what all he had...) We have 11 days left to pack (minus one for Sunday) and that leaves 10....I am not panicking or stressing much.  Just a little.  Pray for strength and health, so that I can take care of my sick children.  And calmness of mind and spirit....

Thank you so much! 

For those of you who've been wondering, here are a few pictures of our "new" house.  It's in the process of being re-painted and re-floored.

  Facing Market Street:

          I really like this room.  It's kind of like a wrap-around, enclosed porch.  Here is one side:    I hope to spend many hours in here, enjoying the sunshine! 

    The other side of the "inside" porch: 

               (Furniture is not mine and will be discarded ASAP...unless someone wants pet hair infested recliners...any takers?)

      Non-functional gas fireplace in the living room.  I think I'll stack some wood in here, to give it a "warmer" feel.   The wood floor in three downstairs rooms, will be refinished.

    One of the bedrooms.  This is the paint color that is used throughout the house.  I would have chosen a darker color, but this was pushing it for our landlady.  She's from the "off white/ navajo white" generation. :)

              Kitchen

         Dining Room:    (I know...horrible picture quality!)

              I love the little window nook!

It will take a few more weeks to finish.   In the meantime...I am packing.  

A Forever Kind Of Love.....

      I love the expression on her face!
