Then the miracle--last April learning that Jennifer was pregnant again! Mercy had prayed almost every night for us to have a baby. But our worries were always just around the corner... would this one miscarry?
On January 1 this year, God gave us a healthy baby girl, whom we named Patience Abigail Huseland. I am lately amazed at how normal it feels to have a baby in the house again. When I see her, I tear up, thinking of how "remote" a chance there was for her to even exist. Yet in God's plan there is nothing remote or impossible, if He wills it. I want to stay grateful the rest of my life. God gave me 3 daughters with a wonderful wife. We lost a 4th little one but have found a fifth. What joy after sorrow.
Thank you, Father, for all the kindnesses we don't deserve. It's all grace.

Brian, You need to update your blog profile! Otherwise there will be bickering about who the odd daughter out is.
Thank you Brian for your beautiful testimony regarding God's grace! I will have Karolyn read this - their 5th was to have been born April 6th - now they patiently (anxiously)await the arrival of little one in Oct. (Gwendy here)
BAR, thanks for pointing that out! Obviously I haven't been blogging enough.
Gwendy, you're welcome. Jenno's thought of Karolyn before. We are helpless, but we are in the hands of an almighty Saviour who redeems us in our sorrow, not out of it. Praise God for the kids we have.
