Tea Time To Ease Us

Welcome to HomeHaven while the wind is blowing outside and the sky is grey. I'm about to have some tea to sip on while I think about the birth of my newest Grandson, Aiden. I hope to have some pictures to show you of this little guy with his proud Daddy and pretty Mom before the week is out. Won't you please sit awhile and chat?

We traveled from our Kansas home to our children's Oklahoma Home on Sunday, October 25th. We visited with them and dropped off a frozen turkey and a heavy Christmas package!

It is a delight to see our family and get to visit.

Then we drove another hour to the Motel that was in the town of the Hospital where Shell would deliver little Aiden. After we checked in, it was time to rest up before for the next day's big event.

On Monday morning October 26th, Shell had already been wheeled into the Operating Room for prepping and surgery when we got there. I was hoping we'd get to see her before she went into surgery, but we missed this opportunity by that much!

My husband and I along with Shell's parents waited in the Lobby next to the operating room and at about 8:25 am, our son wheeled his newborn son into the hallway as a Nurse walked along side toward the Nursery to weigh Aiden and check him over.

Momma was doing well...Baby having some trouble breathing. We could see Aiden through the Nursery window and noticed his heavy, labored breathing. Time ticked slowly.

In the afternoon my husband rode along with our son an hour to go pick up his two children from School and a Babysitter's. I was going to go back to the Motel and rest, but I truly got lost while driving our car to the motel. I found myself in tears driving down Main Street. Praying. As I stopped at the corner of Broadway and Main, I saw a large sign on the side of a building advertising a Church. I was at the corner of where this sign said their church was. The front door of the building was opened so I pulled into the parking space right out side their front door and thought if the minister is in, I'd ask for prayer.

As I walked into their sanctuary, a man was crawling around on the floor working on the sound system. I said, "Hello!"

Two men over by the front window stood up to greet me and I asked, "Are you the Pastor?"
Both said yes and I began to explain what was going on with this new born baby. Gary and Zach prayed for me about Aiden's health and were kind enough to offer to go to the hospital if needed. Zach said he has a 4 year old son named Aiden as well!

This is wonderful that these Godly Men prayed right then and there for us. I thanked God for Godly Men!

I found my way back to the Motel, called my sister and asked if she'd put Aiden on a Prayer Chain, rested and then returned to the Hospital. I went in to see my daughter-in-law. Little Aiden was still having problems. My husband was back by this time. When I got to the room, he excused himself to go to the restroom. Within a few seconds he happily returned to the room and said Aiden was looking around, raising his arms, kicking his legs!!! A different baby all together. He was all smiles. So, I went to look at Aiden through the Nursery window and sure enough his chest and stomach were not heaving! He was breathing so much better. PRAISE THE LORD!!!
PRAISE GOD FROM WHOM ALL BLESSINGS FLOW. PRAISE HIM ALL CREATURES HERE BELOW.

May little Aiden continue to be well. Thank you for your prayers. The miracle of life. We would get to hold him on Tuesday. Precious baby.

We returned home Tuesday night. Tired.

Oh dear, where are my manners...please, won't you tell me about your plans for the week-end?

Halloween on Saturday and full size candy bars for the young Trick-or-Treaters. Have you ever heard of people attaching scripture to the candy bars they hand out? Don't forget the time change.

Glad you stopped by. You mean a great deal to me.
God bless you,
