WONDERFUL NEWS-TWICE THE JOY

TWO PRECIOUS LITTLE BLESSINGS CAME INTO THE WORLD ON JUNE 17TH.  BOTH BABIES WEIGHED EXACTLY THE SAME 6 POUNDS 15 OUNCES!!  NEVER HAD ANY OF THE NURSES SEEN SUCH A THING, SO THEY WEIGHED THE BABIES TWICE JUST TO MAKE SURE.
I AM SO HAPPY AND THANKFUL TO HAVE PLAYED A SMALL PART IN GETTING THOSE BABIES TO ALMOST FULL TERM!
THEIR MOMMIE STILL NEEDS A BIT TO GO BEFORE SHE IS UP AND RUNNING AGAIN, BUT IT IS ENTIRELY UNDERSTANDABLE WITH ALL SHE WENT THREW, AND AT THE VERY END, A C-SECTION.
AS HER MOM, I KNOW ONLY TOO WELL HOW HARD ON THE BODY A C-SECTION CAN BE SINCE I HAD THREE OF THEM MYSELF!!
THE MAIN THING IS THAT THEY ALL WILL BE JUST FINE, AND THEY ARE BOTH OVER THE MOON WITH JOY, AS ONLY HOLDING YOUR FIRST BORN CHILD CAN MAKE YOU FEEL.
I AM THRILLED TO BE A GRANDMA ONCE AGAIN, AND I PRAY I CAN HAVE A ROLL IN THEIR SPIRITUAL GROWTH AS WELL AS THEIR PHYSICAL ONE.  HOPE YOU HAVE SOMETHING WONDERFUL TO PRAISE GOD FOR TODAY TOO!  LINDA-OUT

FIVE POUNDERS!!

WHAT A NICE SURPRISE.  THE TWINS ARE STILL INSIDE MOMMIES TUMMY, AND LATEST REPORT ALL IS WELL, AND THEY ARE EACH OVER FIVE POUNDS!
IT'S SO NICE TO GET GOOD NEWS FOR A CHANGE.  IT'S  ALSO SO WONDERFUL TO SEE THE FACE OF THE MOMMY TO BE GO FROM STRESSED AND CONCERNED TO CALM AND RELAXED.
I CAN HARDLY BELIEVE THAT IN ANOTHER SHORT WEEK OR TWO, I WILL HAVE ANOTHER GRAND SON AND ANOTHER GRAND DAUGHTER.  SO VERY EXCITING!
MY OTHER TWO KIDS HAVE BECOME WORLD TRAVELERS.  MY SON AND HIS FAMILY ARE NOW IN HAWAII FOR THEIR ANNIVERSARY, AND MY OTHER DAUGHTER IS TRAVELING TO PARTS UNKNOWN.  I THINK HER TRAVELS WILL BEGIN FROM AUSTRALIA , BUT I'M JUST THE MOM, WHAT DO I KNOW?
I AM SO GRATEFUL THAT I HAVE SUCH A FULL AND HAPPY LIFE.  THAT DOES NOT MEAN THAT EVERYTHING IS HOW I WISH IT WERE, OR THAT I HAVE EVERY THING I WANT.  WHAT IT DOES MEAN, IS THAT JEHOVAH HAS GIVEN ME PEACE DESPITE WHATEVER SATAN THROWS MY WAY, AND THE HELP I NEED TO COPE.
I CAN HONESTLY SAY I AM NEVER LONELY, I HAVE A VERY POSITIVE VIEW OF THE FUTURE, AND I HAVE MANY WONDERFUL FRIENDS AND FAMILY MEMBERS TOO, WHO ALSO HAVE A POSITIVE VIEW OF THE FUTURE, AND GIVE ME SPIRITUAL, AND MORAL SUPPORT.  SO THANKFUL FOR ALL OF YOU!!
THANKS FOR LETTING ME SHARE-LINDA OUT

NICKNAMES!

I WOKE UP THIS MORNING REMINISCING ABOUT ALL THE CUTE LITTLE NICKNAMES MY HUSBAND MIKE HAD FOR THINGS., AND ME!!
WHEN WE FIRST MET, HE WOULD CALL ME "BROWN EYES".  ALL THE LETTERS AND CARDS HE GAVE ME WOULD BE ADDRESSED TO "MY DARLING BROWN EYES".  THEN, AFTER MANY YEARS OF MARRIAGE, AND ALL MY ACHES AND PAINS, HE CHANGED MY NAME TO "PATCHES", BECAUSE I PUT PATCHES ALL OVER MY BODY WHER EVER I HAD PAIN!
I THINK IT WAS BECAUSE MY BACK WAS ITCHING THIS MORNING THAT CAUSED ME TO GO DOWN MEMORY LANE.  MIKE LOVED ME TO HAVE MY NAILS DONE.  HE CALLED THEM "BACK SCRATCHERS".
HE ALSO HAD A FUNNY NAME FOR MY BRAS.  HE CALLED THEM "HOLDSEMFROMFLOPPING"!
MIKE WOULD TAKE OUR DOGS FOR WALKS TWICE A DAY-EVERY DAY.  WE HAVE TWO ADORABLE CAVALIER KING CHARLES SPANIELS, BUT WHEN EVER PEOPLE WOULD ASK HIM WHAT KIND OF DOGS ARE THOSE, HE WOULD SAY THEY ARE "SHEDDERS".  HE CALLED THEM THAT BECAUSE THEY SHED SO MUCH!!
I WILL FOREVER MISS THAT ADORABLE SENSE OF HUMOR OF HIS.  I SURE HOPE HE STILL HAS IT WHEN HE IS RESURRECTED!!
FOR NOW, LINDA OUT

WE ARE NOW WAGING BETS ON WHEN THE TWINS WILL COME!

WE OR SHOULD I SAY SHE IS NOW IN HER 33 WEEK OF HER PREGNANCY, AND STILL HOLDING HER OWN.
SHE HAS BEEN IN BED NOW SINCE WEEK 27 WHEN IT LOOKED LIKE OUR LITTLE ONES FIRST WANTED OUT!!
IT IS SO HARD TO BELIEVE THAT A TUMMY CAN STRETCH SO MUCH, BUT AS THE SCRIPTURES SAY, "WE ARE WONDERFULLY MADE".

GOOD NEW AND BETTER NEWS!!

MY BEAUTIFUL GRANDDAUGHTER HAD HER SECOND LITTLE DOLL BABY, AND DID NOT HAVE ANY PROBLEMS THIS TIME.  SEEMS LIKE HAVING HER BABY AT HOME WAS A GOOD IDEA AFTER ALL!
MY DAUGHTER HAS BEEN BED RIDDEN NOW FOR THREE WEEKS BUT THAT HAS ALSO PROVEN TO BE FOR THE BEST.  THE TWINS CONTINUE TO GROW IN THE SAFE WARM  ENVIRONMENT OF THEIR MOMMIE'S TUMMY.
WE'VE HAD A FEW SCARES LIKE THE POSSIBILITY OF PREECLAMPSIA, BUT THANKFULLY IT LOOKS LIKE THAT WAS A FALSE ALARM.
IF WE CAN KEEP THOSE BABIES INSIDE THEIR MOMMY A FEW MORE WEEKS, THEY WILL HAVE THEIR LUNGS DEVELOPED, AND BE MUCH STRONGER.  THAT'S DEFINITELY THE GOAL!!  
LIFE HAS BEEN A LITTLE DIFFERENT FOR ME TOO. AS OF LATE.  SINCE MY DAUGHTER NEEDS CARE 24/7  THAT MEANS HER HUSBAND MYSELF, AND SOMETIMES MY SISTER ARE REGULARS AT HER HOUSE.
I'M LEARNING THAT IF I AM SUPER CAREFUL I CAN DRIVE AT NIGHT,  AND UNDER DIRE NECESSITY, I CAN EVEN DRIVE IN THE RAIN.
THERE IS NOT MUCH A MOTHER WILL NOT DO FOR HER CHILDREN.  LINDA-OUT

TRUE. LOVE

JUST MET MY LITTLE GREAT GRAND DAUGHTER LOCKLYN YESTERDAY.  WHAT A LITTLE LIVING DOLL!!
NOT ONLY IS SHE AN ABSOLUTE BEAUTY, BUT SHE HAS AN AMAZING BIG SISTER MINKA.  WE NATURALLY HAD SOME CONCERNS THAT MINKA MIGHT BE A LITTLE JEALOUS, AS SHE IS SUPER CLOSE TO HER MOMMY AND DADDY, PLUS THE FACT THAT SHE IS STILL IS PRETTY MUCH A BABY HERSELF AT BARELY TWO !!  BUT NO.  SURPRISINGLY SHE SHOWS SUCH A TENDER SIDE BY SOFTLY RUBBING HER SISTERS LITTLE HEAD WHILE HER MOMMY FEEDS LOCKLYN.
BOTH THE MOMMY AND DADDY ARE WONDERFUL PARENTS.  I AM SO PROUD OF EACH OF THEM.
STILL WAITING ON THE BIRTH OF THE TWINS MY YOUNGEST DAUGHTER IS HAVING, BUT I AM SURE BOTH MY DAUGHTER AND HER HUBBY WILL ALSO BE AMAZING PARENTS.  THE HAVE BEEN WAITING SO LONG TO BE PARENTS, AND EVEN THOUGH THIS PREGNANCY HAS BROUGHT MUCH ANXIETY, AND UPS AND DOWNS, IT HAS ONLY SERVED TO INCREASE THIER LOVE FOE EACH OTHER, AND FOR THEIR SOON TO BE BORN TWINS (ONE OF EACH)!! WE. ARE ALL SO HAPPY AND BLESSED!!  LINDA-OUT

ONE DOWN, TWO TO GO!

YESTERDAY A TINY MIRACLE OCCURRED.  MY GRANDDAUGHTER GAVE BIRTH AT HOME TO A BEAUTIFUL LITTLE BABY GIRL!
THIS IS MY SECOND GREAT GRAND BABY, WHICH SEEMS AMAZING FOR ME TO FATHAM.  WHO WOULD HAVE EVER GUESSED THAT I WOULD LIVE LONG ENOUGH TO SEE AND THOROUGHLY ENJOY SUCH WONDERS?
THEN, AS IF THAT WERE NOT ENOUGH JOY FOR A LIFETIME, I HAVE A DAUGHTER WHO IS ABOUT TO GIVE BIRTH TO TWINS!!
EVERY DAY THERE SEEMS TO BE MORE AND MORE REASONS FOR ME TO BE JOYFUL. NO, I AM NOT BLIND AS TO ALL THE HORRIBLE SADNESS GOING ON IN THE WORLD.  THERE SURE IS NO SHORTAGE OF THAT.  HOWEVER THE BIBLE DOES SAY THAT WHEN YOU START TO SEE THESE THINGS OCCUR, LIFT UP YOUR HEADS AS YOUR  DELIVERANCE IS NEAR.  SO, THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT I AM DOING.  I THINK MOST PEOPLE WHO READ THE BIBLE KNOW WE MUST BE LIVING IN THE LAST DAYS OF THIS OLE SYSTEM OF THINGS UNDER SATANS CONTROL.  THAT IS THE BEST POSSIBLE REASON TO BE JOYFUL AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED.  SOON NO MORE SICKNESS, WAR, OLD AGE, OR DEATH, HOW CAN THAT NOT MAKE ANYONE JOYFUL?  HOPE YOU ARE JOYFUL TOO!  LINDA-OUT
