Baby Ben is on his way Mommy's labored Night and Day Grammy's worried OH Please pray! For those of you who lifted prayer God heard them! Thank you for your care Baby Benjamin is here! Oh, what a precious Little dear!!! After more than thirty hours of pre-labor, which progressed to a long heavy labor for my precious daughter, Baby Ben was born about an hour and a half after this prayer posted. Praising our God and Father for this precious little baby boy and his beautiful mommy! "A woman when she is in travail hath sorrow, because her hour is come: but as soon as she is delivered of the child, she remembereth no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world." ~ John 16:21 KJV "Lo, children are an heritage of the Lord: and the fruit of the womb is his reward." ~ Psalm 127:3 KJV "Children's children are the crown of old men; and the glory of children are their fathers." ~ Proverbs 17:6 KJV

Thank you so much Cecilia for your heartfelt and wonderful comment, visit and congratulations for Baby Ben! I was visiting their home yesterday, and she and her husband are still in such awe of this tiny little precious baby boy! I have a double dose of 'awe', my once baby girl, brought this baby boy into the world. I look at his beautiful face and see traces of her newborn face so long ago, God is so good! He brought them through a lot, and we rejoice in Benjamin, his mommy and daddy so very much! Hugs to you as well thank you so much for stopping by! <3 :) ~BJ

BJ this is a fantastic write, i enjoyed it from beginning to end. The Greeks have a saying that ' that your childs child is twice your child.' Happy for you all that you have Baby Ben! Hugs, blessings Jennifer.

Thank you so much Jennifer for visiting and for your sweet comment :) The Greeks have a wonderfully true statement there; I feel that is a perfect summary! My grandma told me once when I was a busy young mom looking forward to when the babies were all grown and I could have a great sigh of relief and rest, that it was a vain hope in some ways. She told me that my heart will grow to love and worry and pray for each grandchild, and then great-grandchildren as they were born. She was right! Baby Ben is so sweet, I don't want to put him down, I love him so much! ~BJ

Hi BJ, I just found this gem. You poured your heart out in this poem/prayer. Congratulations to you and your family. Thank God baby Ben is finally here. I know your daughter is elated. Those long labors can be tough, the scriptures you chose were so apt for this poem. Thanks for sharing such a write. Have a nice day-Alexis

Thank you so much Alexis! Oh, yes, I was pouring my heart out to God on my knees, and felt a lot of anxiety for both my daughter and her little baby. They told me that at about the time I posted this poem they were really going through some scary stuff, he just didn't seem to want to leave his comfy little home...but he needed to, his heart was showing signs of the stress from the long labor. My daughter was utterly exhausted, she hadn't slept because of the long labor. She's so happy now, and her little tiny baby boy is doing so well. He's absolutely a beautiful little bundle of joy! <3

I did not read it in time to pray for his safe delivery, but I have prayed for their future. I know that this is a wonderful time for you and your family. Those long labors are very hard on the mother and the baby, but they both should do well. God bless in this situation. Your visit to my page was inspiring. Sara
