This time last week, we were exhausted, we had spent a lovely afternoon at a garden tea party celebrating with Sarah and blessing her with lots of beauitful gifts for her soon to come precious bub.
Her friends Lauren and Jemma did an absolute awesome job in throwing her a baby shower. It was the perfect afternoon.

We finished the afternoon off with Sarah cutting her baby cake and then opening all her beautiful presents. She really was very blessed and I know she appreciated so much, everyones kindness and generosity. It certainly has gone a long way into setting up her baby's room, and providing for her new arrival.

I personally had so much to be thankful for that day:
1. the wonderful friends that my daughter has
2. Their love and support shown to her
3. Blessed that my new grandbaby will have lots of wonderful love and support from those that love Sarah in their life.
4. So grateful that STeve's Mum and Aunty were able to share in the celebrations.
5. Perfect weather.
6. Supportive family
7. Generousity of our good friends Ian and Kathy who so loving not only looked after us but also treated STeve's Mum and Aunty with such kindness and care. We love you guys, we have been so very blessed by your friendship and love over the years.
8. The beautiful gifts
9. Provision of a new home for Sarah and Colin and the blessings and kindness they have received in setting it up before the baby comes.
10. A wonderful husband who is such a handyman and was able to help out in doing some minor repairs.
Regardless of the the curve balls that life throws our way, God still has his hand on our lives, and blesses us in so many ways. This has been very evident to me in the past couple of weeks. He has been my ROCK on days when I thought I couldn't go on, and when I take time to look around, I can also see and appreciate the very many blessings that he has put into my life.
Not long to go now. A little over 4 weeks to go until our precious grandbaby is due to make an entrance into this crazy world of ours. Bring it on.........
