Day 26

Happy Valentine’s Day to you all! We don’t have too much going on around here today; Seton is still sleeping so it is pretty quite around our house. Today I would like to pray for Seton’s voice and talking skills. I know… I know he is only 11 months old. J I do not expect him to tell me a story, not yet at least. He is finding new tones in his voice and really enjoys talking to Daddy. I would like to pray that he understands what we are saying so that one day he will be able to have a conversation with us. Right now he does a lot of one syllable grunting and cuing, sometimes he gets a good 2 syllable grunt (ugh-umm) out there especially when he is talking with Zane. He also likes to sing (or make sounds) when I have music on. 

In order to speak, you also have to have good use of your tongue and facial muscles, so please pray for these too.

Here are a few pictures

Not enjoying my rice cereal

He was too tired to open his eyes for me

Thanks for your prayers

¹⁹ and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.

Ephesians 3:19

Jesus Heals a Deaf and Mute Man

 ³¹ Then Jesus left the vicinity of Tyre and went through Sidon, down to the Sea of Galilee and into the region of the Decapolis.³² There some people brought to him a man who was deaf and could hardly talk, and they begged Jesus to place his hand on him.

 ³³ After he took him aside, away from the crowd, Jesus put his fingers into the man’s ears. Then he spit and touched the man’s tongue. ³⁴ He looked up to heaven and with a deep sigh said to him,“Ephphatha!” (which means “Be opened!”). ³⁵ At this, the man’s ears were opened, his tongue was loosened and he began to speak plainly.

 ³⁶ Jesus commanded them not to tell anyone. But the more he did so, the more they kept talking about it. ³⁷ People were overwhelmed with amazement. “He has done everything well,” they said. “He even makes the deaf hear and the mute speak.”

Mark 7:31-37
