Memorable Moment of Motherhood

This is not a good picture (in terms of photographical quality…I used my digital camera to take a shot from an old photo). However, this photo means so much to me because you see…that’s the moment "my motherhood" became a reality! The original picture was taken moments after our first baby daughter was delivered. She was born prematurely. She weighed only 4 lbs. 5 1/2 oz. The nurses took her away immediately to hook up a bunch of tubes to help her breathe. We were not allowed to hold her. That was one of the hardest things I had to deal with. My heart was filled with mixed emotions of love, joy, elation, concern, and longing (to hold her and nurse her). In this picture, it was the first time I had a chance to see and touch my baby!!! She looked so fragile that I only used my pinky finger to gently stroke her clenched fist. What a joyous & thankful moment that was to see God’s miracle/precious blessing before my eyes! The adventure of motherhood had begun for me and I can’t imagine my life without it

. Motherhood is truly a gift from God!

DVD Review and Giveaway: A Mile in His Shoes

A Mile in His Shoes is a family-friendly movie (PG) about a young man diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome (a form of autism) and how his God-given talent (his amazing throwing ability) helps him and others. It's about overcoming challenges in life. It is based on the book "The Legend of Mickey Tussler" (a true story). It's directed by William Dear, the director of "Angels In the Outfield." It stars Dean Cain who plays Arthur Murphy, a baseball coach and Luke Schroder who plays Mickey, the main character. Excellent performances! My family and I enjoyed this movie. It spoke to my heart deeply because one of my kids has symptoms that are similar to Asperger's Syndrome but the doctors diagnosed him with anxiety disorder, instead. My son is very athletic and great with numbers like Mickey. He is also sensitive to noise and crowds like Mickey. When Coach Murphy sees Mickey (a farmer boy) throw apples at a bucket for his pigs, he knows that he has just fo
