Greetings!

I am pleased to share the wonderful news that Leslieanna Grace joined our family on Friday, 1/11/13 at 1:37 a.m. She weighed in at 6 lbs. 10 1/2 oz. and measured 20 1/2 inches long.

Baby, Mom and Dad are doing well. Well enough that they will be leaving the hospital this morning to go home.

Our 2-year-old grandson Percy spent the night with us last night and his 6-year-old sister Joy will be joining us tonight. This will allow Mom and Dad the luxury of one night with the new baby.

Unfortunately, this situation makes it difficult for me to write. So I pray that you will be blessed with just a few passages from God’s Word over the next two days. I know I will rely on God’s encouragement for strength over the next few days.

Thank you for your prayers and thoughts over these past months. God is so good in all that He does.

“The name of the Lord is a strong tower; the righteous run to it and are safe.” (Proverbs 18:10 – NIV)

“The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and my horn of my salvation. He is my stronghold, my refuge and my Savior.” (2 Samuel 22:2-3 – NIV)

Grace and peace be yours in abundance,

Donna
