So true. Amen to that! How old are your kids, if you dont mind? I have two girls, one turned 9 this past weekend and then 3 1/2 (i have to remember the 1/2 as it is VERY important )

I've got two boys, 11 and 9, and a 10 month old little girl. Hope you get your boy this time!! I know I know, we men tell people 'We don't care as long as it's healthy." Yeah, right, you know you'd love a little BrittZ boy!! I know you will be more than happy with a girl, but I'd imagine you'd like to have a boy. They are very very different and, IMHO, boys are MUCH easier.

Yes you are correct. I am really hoping for a boy, but will be extatic either way. I am the only male under the age of 60 on both of my sides of the family so a boy to carry on the family would be such an amazing gift. Plus I'd love to balance the scales a little more in my favor

Very funny,Alpha. I've just spent my morning chasing my 1 1/2 yr. old son all over the house.

True as far as emotions go, though. Girls are ALL drama.
Sorry, didn't mean to get off topic.

Talking Praise the Lord and pass some pie!!!

Praise Reports:

Congrats to brittZ!! May everything go well for your family

Wife's back surgery successful and resulting blood clots in legs resolved -- well on road to full recovery...mother-in-law had 2nd eye surgery in 2 wks to correct pressure problems and avoid glaucoma -- another success! My two kids (boy 12 and girl 11) are finishing school year with flying colors! Job is going well, family getting along.. I could keep going, but think I'll stop here.

Thanks for this thread. I was sooo in need of being reminded to count blessings instead of getting frustrated. Thanks again -- great upbeat posts from all

God is answering prayers all around me! Family situations in particular, some that I've been praying about for a long time...how good He is when I give up trying to fix everything myself and trust Him! HE LIVES!

One time the youngest one said "Amen" then promptly turned to her sister, stuck out her tongue, rolled her eyes and said,"How's That!!!"
Ohhh, I would love to get my kids more excited about prayer 'll keep working on it though
That is so cute that your grandkids like to pray so much! That's wonderful!

This is wonderful news Mams! I am so glad to hear your blessings from God!


I do have a request for everyone! I don't want to go off topic here and post anything negative, so will you all please go to the prayer requests at the top of the forum and read the request I just posted?
Thank you all!
