Happiness Is... Another Grandie


I did not post last week. It was one of those weeks. You know the kind where you finally get to sit down to catch your breath and notice there are 423 messages in your inbox? Where did the week go? Busier more than normal. But amidst the hustle and bustle of an overloaded week, came an overwhelming joy. One with two tiny feet and an adorable little face that made this Grandma's heart melt.


With a happy heart full of giddiness, I would like to introduce you to: Little Miss Emma Jane




God has blessed us with another Grandie! Yippee Skippee! Another girl!


The let the Tea Parties  begin!

So Blessed!

Before you were born

I knew I loved you.

I prayed for you too, before you were born.

And when you were born,

One look at your little face and I knew you were a blessed child.

I love you, Grandpa loves you too.

Your Daddy loves you, your mommy loves you.

And most of all… God loves you!

Some might call you lucky,

But I call you blessed… so blessed!
 

 A new baby brings so much happiness. And a new baby can cause a heart to reflect. Just sit, looking at that little tiny human and think. I caught her Mama doing that today. This brand new little life. So new. So fresh. So fragile. I pray for her when I hold her. I talk to her about loving God. Even though she is only 5 days old. I pray someday she will understand His love. Her need. His forgiveness and salvation. And how blessed she is.
What a blessing to be able to show Christ to these little girls God has given us. I can't wait to see what He has planned for them! It's going to be great and I want a front row seat! Blessed, indeed.

Precious One

I enjoyed tucking my daughter in tonight, we talked and even giggled when I broke out spontaneously in a ridiculous rendition of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. “Mom, rub my face like you used to” she requested. She shut her eyes as my fingers danced lightly around her face, something she used to like when she was a little girl. She drifted off to sleep and my thoughts drifted to praying for her. “Father, keep her from evil and keep evil from her… "She is Yours, help her to know that and live it and find satisfaction in nothing and no one else…." I was struck by the truth that her life and soul mean infinitely more to me than anything this life can offer. As I prayed, God re-ordered some things in my life and refocused my heart. I have been anxious to repaint my living room a fresh new color. Yet compared to the vital task of raising this young woman, building a God-world view in her life, my living room and so many other desires took a back seat and seemed so unimportan...

Announcing Another Litle Girl

What a new newborn does to a person! I’m in love. *sigh* Papa and I were able to spend almost a week with this new sweet-one when she was newborn.   Introducing Little Miss Alaya Jane . Isn’t. she. just. adorable? She’s my little Peanut. We’ve had 3 new granddaughters in the past 10 months – which makes a total of 5 little girls in 2 ½ years, and we are loving it! You can catch up on the first 4, Sweet Pea, Chickadee, Honey Bee, and Squirt, in the archives. (I'm having difficulty with linking to certain posts at the moment.) Oh, how the grace of God is so faithful! We have been reflecting on how proud we are of how our kids have grown to be adults who love God and married spouses who follow Him too. To see them start families and train their little ones to live to “make Jesus happy” – to put it in toddler terms. This leaves this Papa and Mama so happy… and humble. We weren’t perfect parents. We tried to be good parents, but often fell short. We are so thankf...
