maria was released from the hospital on thursday! she was in for 4 months this stretch (making it 9 months in total for 2009) ... when i spoke with her yesterday, she was so very very happy ... her husband had put up the tree and lights ... he was waiting for her to come home so that they could put up the ornaments together ... she realizes that she will be going back at some point (a nurse comes daily for the dressing change on her foot and antibiotic IV change) ... but hopes that this Christmas will be the best one yet ... i pray it will be too ... thank you for praying for her ...
Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen. Ephesians 3:20-21

hi saija,
i have seen your foot prints appearing on the differnt blogs and so i came here to see if you are making some new posts after your break.
and what good news to see that maria is home in time for christmas!
oh... four months was such a long time to be in the hospital saija!
you know, i really do think it is going to be a blessed christmas!
Dear Saija,
I love the photos you posted in your recent posts. Just want to thank you for visiting me today, and leaving your warm encouragement for me. Your visits always light up my heart. I have just finished reading all the recent posts of yours that I haven't read. Last time I visited you was in October...
Glad to know the surgery on her foot went well, and that Maria will be home for Christmas.
I do not know if you have children, but since I have been reading your blog, it's just you and Leo...
Your header really looks nice. I love the scenery from your windows. I'm doing a post on the seasons of our lives, may I have permission to borrow one or two of your photos?
Have a blessed Christmas, dear friend.
Hope to see you more often these days.
Love
Lidj
What a wonderful Christmas gift for all of you.

We must try not to look to far down our path, but instead where our feet are standing at the moment. Today's Maria's feet are in her own home, with her husband and her eyes and heart are soaking in the beauty of the season. I'm am so thankful for this moment in time. God has been such a present friend in her time of need. I praise Him for his goodness!!
By the way..every time I look at the picture on your header, it brings me peace, how lovely!
Love the new look, Saija. I think I'm almost ready to change mine, too.
Thanks for the update on Maria. I hope and pray all goes well.
Hope you're having a great holiday season so far!
Amen, Saija...He indeed is able...
Love, Sita
Yay!! I'm so glad she will be home for Christmas! I hope that she and her husband truly enjoy the holiday. I will keep them both in my prayers.
Praise the Lord for this. Wish Maria a happy and peaceful Christmas and a good New Year too.
Such a dreadfully long time...but how precious those days for being together! May Christmas bring more joy and peace than ever before!
