Happy Monday

Ah yes, April showers bring May flowers.

How about March showers
and hail and snow and rain
bring April’s flowers?

April is one of my favorite months.
Our family has so many April birthdays!
What was going on 9 months ago?

This month of March was filled with challenges.
March madness included our granddaughter, Faith,
who fell ill while vacationing in Switzerland.
“I’m a million times better” she says…
“today compared to yesterday.”
Yay! Answered prayers 👌🏽❤️🙏🏽

That’s my dear granddaughter in a hospital in Switzerland.
Please pray for Faithy…
She’s moving out of ICU and into a regular hospital room today.
Looking forward to continuing her vacation
with hubby, Kyle, 3-yr-old Mable, and Kyle’s mother.
They hope to visit our daughter, Faith’s Aunt DeDe, this week.
They currently are about 4 1/2 hours away.
God is so good!
This is an answer to more than I dared hope for!
I just was asking God to heal her enough
so she could safely fly home to California.
Auntie De will be so happy to see them
and meet Mable for the first time.

God is amazing, isn’t He?
He hears our prayers
and answers with even more than we dare ask!

Here’s my daughter, DeDe, in Switzerland.

I’ve always believed Mark 11:24

In it, we are reassured that God answers our prayers:
24 “Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer,
believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.”

But I didn’t ask God for Faith and family
to be able to resume their vacation.
I thought that would be asking too much.
I just wanted her to get well and be able to travel home safely.
Instead, Faith told us today that she expects
to be able to resume her Swiss travels.
Amazing!!

2 Corinthians 9:8 ESV

“And God is able to make all grace abound to you,
so that having all sufficiency in all things at all times,
you may abound in every good work.”

What have you asked God for recently?
Has He answered your prayer?


Have you ever asked for something
and been given more than you requested?

Tell me about it!

And have a Happy Monday
and a Blessed April!

Love,
JanBeek

  4. A great post, Jan. Happy Monday to you, Jan! So glad to hear that your granddaughter is improving and getting better! It is no fun being sick on a trip!

    • True… no fun being sick anywhere – anytime… but especially troubling when you are vacationing in a different country, away from your regular doctors, insurance plan, etc!! But, at least she is in a country where the medical services are great! We’re praying she can be out of the hospital tomorrow. Today is her 3 year old’s birthday!!

  5. Blessed Monday thoughts back at you Jan. Praying that Faith is continuing to recover while she feels God’s comforting hand. Sort of reminds me of a Montana trip a few years ago when Covid followed me from Ohio to Montana . . . busted rendezvous with family, and I gave it to Colleen to boot. April showers have arrived with a monsoon approach with several inches. Good thing it wasn’t snow.

  6. This is very good news! So glad she is doing better and on the road to recovery! That would be an unsettling!
