Thank you for my son James, who was four months old on Easter Sunday. I can't believe its thirteen months almost to the day since I decided to ask everyone and anyone to pray for us as we were struggling to conceive and beginning to lose heart, and got a positive pregnancy test five days later. Given a few seemingly unanswered prayers in the past I wasn't prepared for such divine efficiency ![[Razz]](tongue.gif)

Amen, amen!
Adding a praise-- about two weeks ago, I read a somber post on FB from a girl who my nephews have adopted as a sort of cousin (she comes to all our family events.) She posted that she had expressed to her mom that she wanted to go to college, but her mom said she wasn't smart enough and should give the idea up.
I ground my teeth and sent her a private note offering support.
Today she posted a jpeg of her certificate of placement on her schools' Honor Roll. HONOR.ROLL.
I am currently squealing all over the place. So very proud of our brilliant and promising miss J. ![[Tear]](graemlins/tear.gif)

thankful for good family and good timing. my electric was due to be shut off today. my paycheck+child support checks arrived at noon - and the CS check was $200 dollars shorter than it should be (for the second time in a row) all my money (including cash tips in pocket) went into bank and it wasn't enough just to cover the back due. As the (very nice) tech pulls into my driveway and is negotiating my overly-exuberant doggies, my mom calls to say she paid the rest. so he wasted a trip. he was very happy to have wasted his trip also. and now he's happily driving away covered in fur and slobber (the dogs, not mine...) and I get to keep my refridgeration/netflix/shower habit for another month.

Thanks to God for his answer to our prayers for fine weather yesterday afternoon. It rained all morning, then stopped at one o'clock, just in time for everyone to decide that they WOULD come to the church festival after all! (and then it rained again when we had cleared up, which was absolutely okay with everyone).
Also thanks that loads of non-church people came along to see that church people DO have fun!
Mrs. S, tired but very very grateful

I mentioned on the prayer thread a while back a homeless guy we know from our mutual haunting of a nearby cafe/bookstore. He's such a fixture there, the store was able to put him on the payroll for some maintenance/custodial work he helps them with. Given how they usually do things there, I think they invented the job just for him. And given how hard it can be to find and keep a "real job" when you're living out of your truck, I was pleased to hear about it.

Way back I mentioned an Indian guy at our church who was trying to get visas for his wife and young child to join him while he studies in Cardiff. Yay! They are now with us, so thanks be to God and to the High Commission staff for dealing with the application pretty rapidly given the tougher than ever guidelines which are confusing the heck out of them.

TBTG for I. Robert "Bobby" Boudreaux, who has been my boss, I guess you could say -- I'm an election commissioner and he's been the Clerk of Court for Terrebonne Parish for 48 years, in public service for over 60 years. Attended his retirement banquet last night.
Despite the political nature of his post, he served with wit and intelligence, kindness and concern, and a real public-spiritedness, without a hint of even the teensiest scandal. In Louisiana. ![[Eek!]](eek.gif) For 48 years.
And all his grown children are well-adjusted and successful in their fields and his sweet traditional wife "Miz Rose" did it all, he has to say, 'cause of the constant demands of his career. A person doesn't enter into public service in that way and still meet the demands of a family unless the couple is a package deal.
Good on them, I say. God was good to us, to give him to us all these years.

Have just landed myself a second job, which will work almost perfectly with my main job, (may need to do a little negotiating) will use skills I thought I'd never use again, and with a job description that could've been written with me in mind. (So say the four people I'd approached for references/prayer, and who got the copy of the job description.)
Thank you, God!

Before the February 2011 earthquake I had a favourite route for biking to church, down Gloucester St and through the Park. This has been cordoned off as unsafe while buildings were demolished. The good news is that it is re-opening tomorrow .
It's difficult for me to express the joy of getting an important part of the city back - though I know it's a wasteland at present it will come back.
