Miracle Baby

Many people have prayed for this baby and her mother. Little Sandra Maricela was born full term and naturally to a mother with kidney failure. A tiny 3 pounds something, she spent about two weeks in the hospital before coming home to join her thankful and happy family. She is doing well, growing, and seems to be bright and alert.

Recently we hosted a baby shower for this precious miracle baby and her mother, Rosi. Although this is not necessarily a custom here in this area, we want to teach the women to celebrate their children as gifts from God and this seemed an excellent opportunity to do so.
Rosi's older daughter and a niece were delighted to help open the gifts.

Rosi's gratitude was evident in her delighted smile and the tears that fell as she read the words of blessing that were shared. "Mi milagrito" [my little miracle] she crooned softly, cuddling her tiny daughter.

Here's a shout out to our faithful prayer partners- only eternity will reveal what a difference you have made in this woman's life!
