Prayer to Our Lady of La Leche

Just a nice story today of how we continue to see God's love for us through our fertility journey. 

So today my husband calls me and tells me that about a month ago his aunt told him that a lady from her work told her that her daughter couldn't get pregnant and was told to go to this Shrine in Saint Augustine for Our of La Leche. I've never heard of this but my husband say she's been to that church as a child. David's aunt told him that her coworker's daughter went with her husband and said a rosary and prayed the prayer on the back of the prayer card...they got pregnant soon after. Fast forward back to today...David said that his aunt drove 6 hours out of her way to Saint Augustine this past weekend to pray the rosary on our behalf in the church. She gave us the prayer card and the rosary she used to pray for us. 


I thought that was just so beautiful and selfless of his aunt to do that for us. I would have had no problem taking a little trip one weekend to Saint Augustine and done the prayer myself and I probably will. However, I think it is impacting when someone else prays for you...when someone else goes out of there way like that for another. That's the kind of love God wants us to have for each other and I just want to say right now that I'm so thankful for the amount of love, prayer, and support given to us from our amazing friends and family. It touches my heart in a special way and gives us the strength to keep going.  It becomes a cycle where we feel so much love and hope for us that it overflows to others.  I know that every prayer said for us is heard and I know that He is in the process of answering our prayers...we just have to wait for His timing.
