This week I am so excited to say that I am thankful for a baby shower gift that I was able to buy! This is an answered prayer of mine, (and many others!) This coming Sunday will be the shower for a sweet Mom in our church family, who has gone through a challenge in becoming a Mom...to say the least! I am so excited for this sweet, loving family! I know two of the most selfless, giving people who are about to make this baby girl some wonderful grandparents! She will also have a wonderful Aunt H and Uncle J!
Speaking of this family....The grandparents started bringing a boy from our community to church who is deaf/mute and autistic. In the few years he has been coming, we have watched him go from seriously uneducated, to now being enrolled in the Helen Keller School for the deaf and blossoming as he surely never would have had he not received the help he so desperatly needed! This young man blesses my socks off every time he comes to church! He "sings" to the top of his voice during song service, and though he's done this for a while now...its something I don't get used to. It leaves me weeping tears of joy everytime I hear him making his "joyful noise" To the world it may sound like nothing but noise, but I believe Michael's singing touches the ears of God, and the spirit of me! I am so thankful for our van ministry, and for the kids who bless me through it!
Updated to add: I am also thankful for Melissa's news, and will add her family to my prayer list! You can click HERE to read her news and share in the excitement!

Thanks for sharing your list! You are just tooooo sweet!!!!
Thank you God for the gift of children. Wonderful post. Thank you.
I relate to you about the young man singing out in praises making a joyful noise and being blessed like nothing else! Thanks for sharing.
i am so with you on michael...he always wants me to find the right page in the hymnal...he has no clue if it is right or not but he is adamant that he knows which song to sing! :))
i'm excited about Kelly and Melissa too!! :))

That's awesome about Michael. Because someone cared for him, he has opportunity to learn more. His "singing" is the sweetest fragrance to Jesus. Thanks for sharing. Blessings on your day.
I enjoyed reading this, it was sweet about the little boy. I do have to admit I was trying to concentrate reading while I was laughing hysterically at your son and kitty cat picture. That is just precious.
That is so neat about the child who is now in the Helen Keller school. God can do such amazing things!
I had to read your first paragraph twice because the first time I thought you wrote that you were going to a baby shower for your Mom. lol
Love the story of the little boy and the photo of your son is cracking me up!
How wonderful that the little boy you mentioned is finding his voice -- in more ways than one. A van ministry can be so powerful . . . I wish I could hear that little boy singing, too.
That is so wonderful! I know your gift will bless this new mother :) I am also so happy to read about the boy you wrote about. I am so thankful for people who educate and care for these special children ~ it truly is amazing! Blessings to you this weekend!
What a sweet post. Thank you for sharing your thankful heart.
Have a blessed weekend.

Oh, that would totally bless my socks off too! What a wonderful family that sounds like. Congrats to your friend!
It is always so neat to see when women around you are able to have a baby. I have seen it many times - I think their glow is much brighter (not sure if I made sense with that :))
How neat about this young man in your church. How awesome that he can make a joyful noise to the Lord :) I am sure that our Lord is delighted in Michael's ability to express his faith.
Thank you so much for sharing your grateful heart with us this week.
Be blessed today and always.
