Well, if you have followed my blog, you have seen various pictures of my trees. This is the final sweet results of my plum tree. I was able to fill 8 freezer bags full of plum juice which will become plum jelly sometime this fall when it is cooler to stand over a hot stove all day stirring jelly. In addition to the dozens eaten by my children who thought it was so cool to pick our fruit off our own tree and not have to worry about pesticides etc. Fresh from the tree.Another sweet blessing we shared was a surprise for my hubby on Father's day. We found out we were expecting! God allowed us to conceive a sweet new life. We weren't sure if Wes' surgery had been successful or not since it had been over eight years since his original vasectomy and his reversal was performed in December. Our doctor said we should conceive within 4 months. Well this was the fifth month and we were beginning to get a little discouraged. So God so graciously answered our prayers and created a new life.
However, we sadly only shared this little one for about a week and then it was sent home to heaven. We were so sad to let go so soon, but we trust God knows what is best for us and this little one. We are absolutely praising God for allowing us to know that my husband's body has been restored and we have hope for a new life once again. Our little one will join two other siblings in heaven. We will have a whole family waiting for us in heaven. While my heart aches I know that God is glorified in all things and He is sovereign. I am so grateful to be His child for this would be absolutely too hard to bear without Him.
So as it was stated by Job "the Lord gave and the Lord takes away, blessed be the name of the Lord." I am trusting in my sovereign God to allow new life in His perfect timing. I am so blessed by a loving church family too. They rejoiced when I rejoiced and they mourned when I mourned. I am overwhelmingly blessed!
Thank you Lord for sweet blessings!
