A Kiss From God!

After some particularly busy and stressful months God sent  a little angel baby into my arms! Hobert’s mama died and his family needed  some time to take care of funeral things without the stress of a motherless baby.

One of the leading causes of malnutrition in infants is when a nursing baby loses its mother. It is so easy for babies to get overlooked during the rush of preparing for a funeral and possibly spending every available penny to pay for it. Few people realize the importance of balanced baby formula and just give the baby rice water or crackers dissolved in water… babies suffer when mommies die. So Hobert stayed in my arms while his family got things worked out and decided who could best care for him.

I guess I’m used to having sick babies not chubby, happy, ones! Hobert was nothing but pure joy!! He literally oozed with love and giggles. His expressions were priceless!

Everyone is excited to see the newest addition! You are welcomed with love, baby!

A joyful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.

Hobert stayed with me for almost two weeks! I thank God for the privilege of being so blessed by this little soul! I’ve never fallen so deeply in love in such a short time before this!! I was so heartbroken when he left but also thankful that he has family who loves him and wants to care for him!

Thank you for blessing my life, little man! God bless your life now and forever more! Amen!
