Knights Becoming and a Lady in Waiting

Pray Around HSB

I thought this was such a great idea that I saw on One Day I'll Mount Up With Wings Like Eagles that I just had to do it.  The basic idea is that you do some jumping around HSB, reading different blogs, and then you pray for the people you've visited (if I have this right).  So, here goes.

My first stop was at Susan Godfrey's Homestead Scraps.  I really believe God led me there, because I read at the top of her blog that her unborn child has Potter's Syndrome and will not survive more than a few hours past delivery (she's due the day before my birthday, too).  They have chosen, correctly but bravely, to carry the baby to term and my heart aches for them.  This is their SECOND Potter's Syndrome child.  Oh, dear Father, if You would just take this cup from them and give them a healthy delivery, but if not, if You would bless them with an extra measure of peace and joy.  [Also, they are taking donations to help cover expenses and to help fund the research on Potter's Syyndrome at University of Michigan, so if you are able, you may wish to pop over to help out.]

Once I could compose myself, I travelled on to Exuberant Jade.  I had a lot of fun reading her post on "Battle of the Mind"-- just a warning, though.  It's long and it makes you think.  My brain was a little stretched by the time I finished it.  It was good reading, though.  I'm praying that she continues with her exuberance for Christ and that she never lets a Platonic worldview overtake her. :)

Because time was ticking on and I really should've been in bed, I limited myself to just one more site.  I almost zoomed past Taking the Challenge, but something (er, Someone) directed me to pray for her anyway.  Who knows?  Maybe today she's going to have a rough day with the kids (youngest son implying that there are at least two boys).  Anyway, I just prayed a peace on her day and safety for her family.  God can take care of the rest.

This was both fun and spiritually rewarding and now I'm ready to sleep.  What a wonderful idea.

Blessings to you

You are kind and wonderful to seek out the bloggers and pray for them. After you have been on here for a while you cannot keep from praying for them. Seeking them out is totally kind, May God bless you for your kindness and compassion. Kelly

Great idea. Sometimes we need to read between the lines on blogs and see if our sisters are hurting. Great post.

my castle... which is fitting for a mother of knights. BTW I got my boys The Squire and The Sword or something or other! yipes! senior moment - I also got them the Princess Kiss for their winter birthday. Anyway, The Kitten [their mother, my dd] says they love both.
Your first prayer stop made me cry - how heart breaking to go through that once and now again! You, as most of the ladies I've ment on hsb, are very sweet, gracious and kind.
Except for calling someone a sulking Grandma. I am Grammy! lol And I have repented for my excessive emotions and have experiences a tremendous amount of peace - an overflow into other areas of my life- which is mondo nice. <<>> girls are so soft and cuddly though.
Be blessed,
Miss Meg
