Wow this praise report is so looong overdue so let me jump right into.
I have 3 beautiful daughters and a son with my FH, they are all grown up now and I also have 2 grandsons aged 6 and 8.
The sad situation is that they have all left South Africa and my son lives in London and has done so for the past 10 years. My daughter Tanya lives in Edinburgh Scotland as has done so for the past 2 years. A year ago my baby girl also left and is also staying in London with her husband. Which leaves my eldest daughter about a hours travel by plane away from me. My eldest daughter and myself had spoken on numerous occasions of how wonderful it would be to visit our family and a couple of months ago she entered a competition to try win flights for 2 people to the UK
During the course of the wait to announce the winner I had prayed fervently for her to win because I knew it was really her heart's desire to see her siblings. Shortly before the announcement, she told me that her husband could not go and that she would take me if she won. Well, the announcement was made and she won the competition. Boy did I know that God had a hand in it. I knew it with every sense of my being. We went to the UK for 3 weeks had a 2-night stay in a gorgeous hotel courtesy of the competition a spa treatment and skincare products. I spent the most amazing time with my grandchildren, son, daughter in law, daughter and son in law in London. Then the 3 of us myself and my two daughters took a trip to Scotland to visit my middle daughter. Edinburgh was such a fascinating place I had never seen anything so beautiful.
The trip was absolutely wonderful. And while I was there I received the answer to another prayer that I had been praying for the last couple of years and that was for my middle daughter to get married as they had been together for 10 years. They announced that they were getting married early in the year. On the 7th January this year that prayer was answered, sadly I could not attend the wedding as we had by then already returned home.
God has his timing and persevering in prayer will bring forth the desires of your heart. Sometimes God grants desires that you may have forgotten, but He truly is faithful. Words cannot describe the gratitude and love I feel for You Lord for allowing me his most amazing visit with my precious children. I love You, Lord.
When my daughters were younger the middle one and the youngest would always talk about how nice it would be if they could become pregnant at the same time. (My eldest daughter and her husband do not want any children). So now we wait because both couples are trying to start a family. At least it would mean only one trip for me when that happens 🙂 Thank you Lord for answered prayer and I praise You as I await the miracle of life and the experience of motherhood for my two beautiful daughters.
