Paco and I are blessed with a new
nephew: Paco´s sister, Erika, gave birth to a beautiful, healthy baby boy on
August 25th. We had the movie
experience of getting the 4am telephone call that she was having bleeding and
labor pains, and rushing into the ER, and pacing in the waiting room for news
of a healthy birth. We loved being the
very first ones to meet and hold our nephew.
The ladies of our congregation had
been planned a baby shower for Erika, but the baby beat us to it! So, the baby was
presented at the shower just
6 days after his birth. It was a joyous
time. We all prayed for Erika and the
baby, and Erika said a special prayer of dedication of her son to the Lord.
Erika felt very special to be
supported and loved by the sisters in the congregation. As a single-mom, she is overwhelmed by the
weight of responsibility, but I know the Lord confirmed His promise to care for
Her and her children by blessing her delivery and showing her the love of His
body, the church.
