Heart thread - 08/27/2009

Tonight I offer thanksgiving for new life and prayers for protection of the newly arrived and blessings on the entire family. My niece's sister-in-law has become a grandmother of twins. (What is with my family and twins?)

Niece Paula on facebook:

2 new twin boy nephews just a few hrs old. Wade and Logan. Wade was a little over 6 pds, and Logan was a little over 7 pounds. Parents are our niece and nephew Bridget and Adam (Rick's sister's daughter). Can't wait to see them.

...

Just got a text message with the info...Wade Adam weighed in at 6# 3 oz and is 18.5 inches long, Logan Dean weighed in at 7# 9 oz and is 20.5 inches long. Logan is experiencing some breathing issues so they are "admitting" him (whatever that means -- since he is already in the hospital). Will find out later I guess.

Grandparents are Connie and Joel.


I also ask your prayers for Irene, an elderly lady who fell this afternoon and has been in the emergency room. No mention of broken bones but the question of hidden head injuries arises, of course, and I just don't know very much. A very dear friend shares her home and gave me this distressing news.

Let us pray that we may be truth and light in our day, no matter what lies and darkness may seem to be all around us.
