You have until 8pm (EST) tonight to come up with your own CFHusband limerick! Keep it G rated and CFHusband themed (or I'll delete it). Or, write one about yourself and post it on your own blog!
Tricia decides who's is the "best" and will give the winner a cyber high five!
Nate
Was that picture taken today?! Tricia you are beautiful and you guys look so happy! You are such an inspiration to me.
ReplyDeleteMay God provide you with whatever you need for the day...that is my prayer to you!
Some more sunshine from SA!
This picture's great! Love the bib and how you include your little one in the photo,(so to speak) So glad you're able to make the best of your time spent there in the hospital. When ever I drive past a hospital I think of you guys, and say a prayer. Melissa
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute pic. Everyday I click on your blog address and read the story of that day in front of my colleagues. I work at a christian TV channel here in Holland called EO.
ReplyDeleteDid you know that st. patricksday isn’t even celebrated in ireland. There’s a parade in Dublin but it’s not a national holiday there. I didn’t know that until my Irish friends toild me this yesterday. We don’t celebrate it here in Holland.
I’m thinking of you & praying for you! A fellow Freq, Jacoline
I know of a fine man named Nate,
ReplyDeleteAnd lots of us think that he's
great,
His wife is the best,
With Gwyneth they're blessed,
And 2 new lungs an-tic-i-pate.

I could never attempt to write a limerick (don't even think I could spell it) better than that!
ReplyDeleteIt was darling, as is your sweet little family.
Thinking of you and praying for you guys all the time!
And, about your other post about being torn... just take it one step at a time. You've figured it out so far, don't put too much pressure on yourself, Nate!
there once was a babe named gwyn
ReplyDeletein the fight of her life to win
much like her mom
tricia- the BOMB
they both have others pray-in
(Michelle in South Korea)
Okay, here's the best I've got...
ReplyDeleteThere once was a man named Nate
whose choice in a wife was great
With a baby in tow
The listing for new lungs a go
Now they just sit back and wait!
Near the sea lived a wild-man named Nate,
ReplyDeleteWho wanted fair Tricia to date.
At last he did win,
And now they have Gwyn,
And watch the whole world celebrate!
With eyes of laughter and a smile so safe
ReplyDeleteTricia and Nate trust in their faith
As they eloquently show, the world their fate
Just remember, YOU asked for it. LOL
ReplyDeleteA St. Patrick's Day blessing opun you,
From all of us here in the Sharp crew.
We wanted to send you some luck and a shamrock,
But the daoine in Duke would put up a block.
So we say, Bail o' Dhia Ort, The blessing of God on you.

My Gwyneth lies over in ICU
ReplyDeleteMy Tricia lies over the cot;
Poor Nathan runs all between them
Giving both girls all that he's got!
Now Gwyneth is learning to grow
To thrive, to breath, and to cry;
And Tricia, she's patiently waiting
For a new set of lungs to her to fly.
The rest of us thank you for blogging
And keeping us abreast of the news
Of the family Lawrenson in Durham
Hope, prayer, and faith--your shared cues.
(sung to the tune of "My Bonnie lies over the Ocean")
And, I apologize for quickly jotted out lyrics but no time for more today!
Love the St. Patirick's Day Bib! :)

Unknown to her whole family,
ReplyDeleteNate's beautiful wife made a plea,
For a miracle child -
God looked down and smiled,
And now they're the Lawrensons THREE!
The Michigan winter she be so cold
ReplyDeleteBut the Lawrenson family my wee heart they stole
A lady who lives in a little house on a hill
Their passion for life it broke through the chill
People now watch their story be told
A life now of three continues to unfold

And Gwyneth she completes them,

ReplyDeleteBlessings to you all!

ReplyDeletenot that we are trying to sway the vote....
I, too, must cast my vote for Sallie's limerick. Now for my own attempt....
ReplyDeleteA miracle, a Blessed White Rose
With tiny fingers, hands and toes
Waits and grows in ICU
But her family's faith is true
They thank God as Gwyneth grows.
Well, I think I'm better at prose, but there ya go. Can't wait for today's weekly update!
i think your hair is as long as trisha's
ReplyDeleteBest said in an Irish accent (hence three is pronounced 'tree' and 'faith' is fate..)
ReplyDeleteWill you look at that fam'ly of three?
They're good looking and cute as can be.
Gwyneth, Tricia and Nate
Hearts full up wit' faith
Pray that happy and healthy they'll be
