Grandbabies are God's Way of Saying We are Precious to Him

How do we know God loves us? Well, He give us chances to do better. He blesses us with things unimaginable like grandchildren. I've been blessed five times now. It just keeps getting better. The only thing is I wish I could enjoy them all much more than I am able to.


God's love is evident in the those cherished moments we get when we can hold one of our own. My husband and I have just come back from a week's visit with our youngest son and his family. They now have three sons. Remember the TV show, "My Three Sons"? Yep, we teased our son about it. These boys are all so special and yes, I know, it's because they are mine. But also because they really are special children in many ways. Mostly, because I see God when I look at them.


I have two beautiful granddaughters too. And I mean beautiful. I also see God and feel God's love for me when I am watching them when they don't realize I'm really watching them. I think God watches us like that. He watches how we respond to nature and people and all things. Afterall, everything belongs to Him and He gave us His all, Jesus.


August is half over and it seems like it just got here. I wonder what the end of this year will bring to my life. You ever have a feeling that something is about to happen but you are not sure if it's good or bad? I have that feeling right now. I pray it's a good change getting ready to happen. I praise you Lord for all that I am experiencing right now. Some things have been told to me this past week that is hard to get my head around. But I know you have a good thing planned and you know just what you are doing. I give you thanks for that.


Life is too short, don't take anything for granted. One day at a time...
