One day at a time...

As we wait for the oncology appointment life goes on, one day at a time. Mom is surrounded by people that she loves and they dearly love her. Today mom, Philip and Opa are putting in mom's new kitchen cupboards, mom has been living in a bit of a kitchen Chaos, but soon mom will have a much more organized kitchen. Mom has been feeling well enough to continue to work, and go for walks and stay busy at home as well. This is a true blessing. Tom and I had an emotional, but very rewarding week with my family, but we are glad to be home again, but I am missing my mom horribly.
The Baby K count down is on, 31 days and counting. Mom's very dear friend Fran, who has lifted mom, Tom and I up for a long time as we prayed for a baby, prayed for blessings on our new little one. This little one comes into the midst of a pretty stressful time, but we have faith that God will gaurd this little one. Mom is so excited about meeting this little one that we have prayed for, and asked for, for 5 and 1/2 years. This is a very special little one, and I can't wait to put our baby in Nana's( Mom) arms.
Right now, it is one day at a time, we take each moment as it comes. There have been and there will be many tears yet to fall, but we know that God has heard our cries, and we must put our faith, and mom's life into his hands. Please continue to pray for mom that every moment of her day would be filled with His Goodness and Grace.
Pray for Tom and I as we await this baby's arrival, and pray for peace as I wish that mom and I could be alot closer together.

With Love in Christ,
Alida, Wilma and Family.

This morning I went on my bike and I saw a large mill. Not such an old-fashioned Dutch windmill but a modern, huge windmill with large, high-performance blades. But she stood still, because there was no wind. And the people wanted that she would run as a power, but she didn't do that. And the people got angry because she did not turn and now they had no electricity. People always think that things go as they wish to do so or, as they find that it is so. But that is not the case. Call it fate or call it God. Things are going as they go. The miller understood this and waited for the wind again. One day the wind will be from the right angle for you.
You are in our mind.
