This post will be in English and a little side note in Portuguese. A good of ours from our church Deise, had to go to Brazil last year to be with her husband. It was a tough and sad goodbye, we all loved Deise, I mean she was there when I started dating my husband and I remembered our talks about finding that Mr. Godly right man and she did, she found Marcos or as we call him Marquinho and unfortunately they had to go back to Brazil. They are now expecting Benjamin and although we are far we want to participate in their new phase.
            Deise’s mom is the go to person for everything plus at our church. I have never met such a giving and generous heart, if angles lived here on earth, she would be one of them. She has been there for all the brides, all the mom to bes and all the babies born. She practically can be almost a mid-wife, she comes to your house, cleans, picks up your laundry, gives the baby his/her first bath and that is her live. For me, that is what a real ministry is about, she lives it. I am so thankful for Sandra because when I had to plan my wedding in three weeks,now remember, I was pregnant, unemployed and lived in a very tiny room,almost closet size and I relied on all the help I can get.Sister Sandra, as we called her, delayed paying her mortgage payment in order to pay for the food for the wedding. I do not think I can in words explain her generosity. She puts others first 100% of the time which sometimes is annoying because she needs some lovin and tlc back. She she had helped everyone, I mean everyone, driving miles and miles to meet every new baby from our church ministry, I came up with the idea of having a virtual baby shower where Sandra and Her husband would represent Deise and Marcos and we would do the baby shower here in the US as Deise would watch via skype and all the games are done with her parents in their place and then all gifts would be shipped. There was no way we could let this pass, it is our time to give back and I am so forever grateful to Sister Sandra for her love and dedication as well as Deise and Paul for sharing their mom to be a mom for all, for not minding their mom to be such an angel to all of us. I love this family dearly and since it is a virtual Baby Shower, we have a virtual Invitation and a picture of Deise’s Parents, I am going to have a blast in decorating them as we play our crazy Brazilian Shower games, let me just say it involves lipstick.
