    The Little Red Hen
    Hooray for a good work ethic! The little red hen asks but receives no help in her efforts to put bread on the table. Yet all who wouldn't help would like to eat. In a refreshingly old-fashioned triumph of moral consequences, they don't get to!

    Poor Nora! The loveable mousette experiences all the pangs of the child-in-the- middle, caught between the demands of baby brother and bossiness of big sister. Catchy meter, playful illustrations make for a wonderfully satisfying mouse's tale. Baby-Preschool

KS Milkmaid update

I just talked to Christine and she and the children are still at the farm. The next hearing is on June 19. Bond has not been posted, so they are safe.

She was advised to remove her blog for legal reasons, but promised to keep me posted on what is going on, how people can help, and if and when she is able to communicate again.

It's difficult as you can imagine to be out of communication. Let's keep praying!

Love,

I'm so glad you posted this, Barbara! I have been wondering all day what happened since her blog is down. Then, I thought, "If anybody would know what's going on, it would be Barbara." and here you are keeping us updated!

I'm still praying.

I knew that you knew the Milkmaid and hoped that you would have something on your site about her because her site says, "temporarily unavailable". Thank you for letting us know that she is all right. And we will continue to storm heaven for her and her family. To be in the situation she is in and to have the faith that she has, has just spoken so loudly to me. Let her know that she is in our thoughts and prayers.

"bond has not been posted," - does that mean her husband is in jail?

Thank you so much for posting this update, Barbara. We will continue to pray.

THANK YOU! I have been checking her site all day long, and yours a few times. I was hoping it was legal reasons, but worried it was something else keeping her from the computer.

Thanks for letting us know.

I think I missed something......Was there some domestic violence involving her husband? I'm a little confused....Sorry........I'll understand if no one can respond.

Thanks for the update. Just wanted to let Christine know she's in my thoughts and prayers during these trying times. I've been there. (Fled for my life.) Each situation is different and I don't claim to know her pain. I do know that now, twenty years later, God has fully restored the years the locusts have eaten. He can use even this for his glory.

Love and prayers...

Yes, thank you, Barbara!

Chris - We're praying for you!!!!

Thank you, dear Barbara, for providing an update on Christine's situation. I've been checking her blog frequently & was upset to see her blog was down today. I am so glad she & the children are safe! Can we infer from your post that her husband made some sort of threat against her/and or the children? Is he in jail? My heart just cries for her. When you talk to her again, please let her know that I am praying for her & the children.

To Christine: "I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me." Philippians 4:13
Hang in there, girlfriend!! Lots of people in "Blogland" love you & are praying earnestly for you!

Thank you so much for posting an update here. I was concerned when I couldn't access her blog last night. Continued prayers for her and her family.

Blessings,

Diane

That's a relief! I wondered if it was for legal reasons but was still anxious. Still praying for you here in Canada, Christine!
