Counting my blessings..

Hello again, on this cool, rainy Friday...70 beautiful degrees in Lilburn!

We had an exciting day in our family yesterday!  We gained another member!!  Evie Michelle Massey, 6 lbs 5 oz of pure joy!  We are thankful to God for His protection over the mother and the baby.   How many times do we really think about their safety????

As we left out of Stephanie's room, so she could rest some before the big event, we heard a code blue for labor and delivery.   We felt so afraid for someone, someone we didn't even know.  We prayed right then and there....a few moments later, we hear terrible sobbing, and someone coming out of the ward, having to be helped to walk by a nurse.  The nurse went back into the ward,  my friend and I( the other Nana to Evie), walked over to the sobbing lady.  It is her daughter.  She is in labor with her third child.  She began to have a seizure, then stopped breathing.  They rushed her to the OR, where they did an emergency c section on the baby. 

I went over and just held this lady, as she cried for her only child, not knowing if she was dead or alive.  I prayed with her, we stayed with her until the Dr came out and called the family back.  Not good news.  

Sadly, this young mother did not live to see her new son.   This is almost non existent in todays world.  The baby sometimes doesn't make it, but the mothers almost never die during childbirth anymore.  Sad...

Sadly, the little baby boy was transported to another hospital, because he began to have seizures.  I have no idea what was or is going on today, but I know that I had the opportunity to share Gods love with two hurting, grieving people.   

We never know when it is our appointed time to leave this world.  My prayer is, that this young mother knew the Lord, that she is now in Heaven awaiting the rest of her family.  This makes me realize more than ever, that we have to share Jesus with everyone we meet.  We NEVER know when our last breath is coming.  WE have to be ready, to know that we know that we know that we will be with Jesus when our last breath comes.

I pray today, for each one of you.  That if you do not know without a doubt that when you die, you will be with Jesus in Heaven, that you will do so today, right now.  We are not promised out next breath, and once its gone, there are no more chances.  We are shown over and over that age is not a factor in when we will die.  Please please make that decision today.  If I can help you, I want to.  I am here for all of you.    

Until the next time, God Bless us all! :)
