Ronald Michael Smith

Hello, Y'all!
Well, here we are in Griffin at last!!! The Mama is doing wonderfully, and resting well! Ah, Katie is such a trooper, and looks so sweet, sitting up in bed, propped up on pillows, in such a pretty blue gown, holding their new son...smiling and laughing as always!

Oh, little Ron is absolutely the cutest, softest, chunkiest little bundle of sweetness you will ever see!!!!! Neither I, nor Mama, have ever seen such a soft baby!! He is just so~ squishy. And so adorable you could eat him up.

He seems to be just a very laid back kind of little guy, with a little bit of dark hair that feels like peach fuzz...he has a huge double chin, and rolls on his chunky little legs! He crosses his feet and tosses one relaxed arm above his head when he lays down as if he were in a hammock on the beach, cool as a cucumber! Unlike the official report that he has big ears, he in fact has small ears. Go figure!! LOL!

When we began to compare notes with Katie and Alan, we found that the Lord had heard our prayers in amazing ways.
We petitioned Him to please give Katie a very strong, unbearable urge to push - and she said - I had this really strong , undeniable urge to push......
We asked Him to give Alan wisdom and even that he would know what particular position she should be in - and she said - Alan just calmly said, sweetheart, get right here and then we'll proceed......
We prayed that she would have peace -
and she said - I was all tense, wanting this to happen and that person to come, and then I realized, wait a minute, the Lord is in control and I don't need to be tense and anxious...
Mr. Bret got a call at work , to pray, and he went for a walk and asked the Lord to please bring the baby quickly, with not too long a labor -
and an hour later, he got a call - It's a boy!!!!




Well, we leave you with joyful hearts , filled with praise to the Lord Jesus Christ. He surely intercedes for us before the Father. The Lord God hears our prayers and is a gracious and merciful Shepherd and Lord.

Praise God, from whom all blessings flow.....
Praise Him, all creatures here below....
Praise Him above, ye heavenly hosts...
Praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
