There is no way you could have been cheated on a dozen if you receive thirteen, thus the Baker’s Dozen. It feels like a number of abundance and integrity. So, I am announcing the arrival of my thirteenth grandchild on Sunday, January 28. I have written each of my grandchildren a blessing poem. I pray and poeticize for my grandbabies in the light of both my Savior’s grace and protection and my society’s darkness. God has overcome this world, and it is right that I asked Him to overcome it on behalf of my family.
Magdelena of the tower (1)
May God give you of His power
As He directs you to each place
May you be endowed with His grace
As Mary who followed Christ well
Much of His resurrection tell (2)
Share the true Gospel to and fro
Living it wherever you go
Faith, assurance of things hoped for
Conviction of unseen before (3)
May God grant it early to you
And may it spread to not a few
Miss Francis ready for battle
Resist evil acts and prattle
Pray in the Spirit, armor on (4)
Know God’s Word which you stand upon
