Thankful For the Years God Has Given Mother

The "halo" over Mom is just an eye-brow window behind her. She is a saint as are all Christians, though we will be glorified only when we see God.

Mother [Mary] was born in 1920, now has an oxygen tank full time since her hospital stay last week.

We enjoyed a visit with her on Friday at the home of her eldest son, David & Sharron, where she is to stay till a possible operation to receive a stint near her heart on Tuesday evening.

Please pray Mother and for her descendants as well.

12-11-12 at 8:40 PM update: Praise God! When they checked Mom, she had no clogged arteries, so did not have to get a stint put in. The pain in her heart is evidently from high blood pressure. 
She waited since 3 PM today for the surgeon who arrived around 8 PM.

Firstborn of Seven

My 28-year-old mother gave birth to her firstborn 27 years ago. She had a difficult labor in an unsupportive hospital under the care of a doctor who said the more he cut the faster the baby will come.

I am so grateful that she did not let my birth scare her from welcoming six more wonderful siblings and six little ones who we will not meet until heaven. ~Regina
