…and thanksgiving.

Alice left this comment on my “Thin Red Line” post.

“I am stopping to pray for you right now and begging God that I may sometime soon click here to find a jubilant postcript to this piece.

Our Lady of Guadalupe, pray for us!”

Well, I am just posting to say…

Thank you for your prayers.

They worked!

PS. Keep ’em coming. Please.

    I saw you in church on Sunday (or maybe it was the previous Sunday) and the thought that came to my mind was “Margaret’s pregnant”. It was very strange! Many, many congratulations! I’ll be keeping you and your littlest one in my middle-of-the-night prayers, as my littlest one still wakes me up to tell me he loves me šŸ™‚

    OK, so this waiting-til-a-feast-day-to-take-a-pregnancy-test thing really works! I’ll have to try it next time (maybe on Christmas?–we’re hoping–love to add a little princess to our 3 cowboys!)

Hi there!

I’m Margaret in Minnesota, and this is my mom's-eye perspective of a kid-heavy life. I love the Lord; I take lots of photos; and I always try to tell it like it is, from sex to depression and everything in between! I hope you enjoy your time here. ♄
